yes it would. that's 49.4 kn of thrust. for a aircraft just barely bigger than Neuron, which used a 40 kn engine. or we can compare it to x47b, which is possibly roughly 20 percent heavier and has a 71 kn engine.

we also don't know the final thrust rating of ws13 engine that may go into the drone.

Latest update ... another surprise!! Actually the image is too blurry but it looks like either finally a real GJ-11 "Sharp Sword" UCAV standing behind what appears to be a J-16 (?) or another stealthy flying wing UCAV. According to the greenish colour I would say it is something naval related and huitong already called it GJ-11J!
