Great comparison of both the regular J-20 with WS-10C engines and the new J-20A with WS-15.

Aestethically the J-20A looks more well proportioned now due to the protruding hump behind the cockpit.

The protruding hump behind the cockpit reduces drag.

Does it mean the WS10C has higher dry power? The WS-10 above is using afterburner.
