yes, YF-23, B-2 & UCAV x-45/47 will be the inspirational trend for 6th generation aircraft design. Russian took design from YF-23 for Su-57 and X-32 for checkmate fighter rather than Lockheed Martin F-22 & F-35.

It's on YouTube, you can watch it when you're really free because it's waste of time watching Binkov's opinion that always rated Russia & China as weak incompetent adversaries. F-22 is not retiring until there's better replacement. Unless USAF wanted to revive the YF-23.

Could be real and for testing on mock deck purpose. If they wanted a navalized J-20, the first thing they'll alter will be the wings to less swept angle, too much modification required therefore better for them to come up with totally new design instead. To play safe, they'll pick design from...

With CATOBAR in Type 003, you can launch the heavy F-111 (old TF-30 with only 23,000lb thrust on afterburner) up in the air, no problem. Only ski ramp Type 001 would require lighter aircraft with enough thrust to dust off safely. That's why Shenyang made the J-15A more aerodynamic to gain...

That's not your expertise neither since you don't have certs in aeronautics engineering. Everyone here only took general aeronautical physics knowledge to post Do you know that US General Dynamics had landed F-16N (navalized variant F-16) on carrier deck before? A-7 Corsair 2, F-8 Crusader...

Type 076 is still a concept that will only realise if China intended not to develop STOVL fighter at all. Fitting EMALS and arrestor cables on amphibious ship (smaller than Type003) is just not practical resulting in less space for amphibious landing assault vehicles and personnel. Better they...

Great info. Basically, any aircraft with 30,000lb max thrust engine could easily take off from carrier. Su-57, F-22, J-20 can be fitted with strengthened landing gear, no issue. It is the landing approach part that matters most, as they would approach too fast due to their design. Aircraft such...

Powerful attack helicopter like Ka-52 has technology that China doesn't own and Z-20 engine (copy of Blackhawk) is outclassed if compared to Ka-52 engine. China still have much to pickup in terms of attack helicopter. It doesn't matter if 2nd Type 075 being commissioned later

J-10A was designed for speed with more aerodynamic design purely for air to air role. J-10B/C redesigned for better low maneuverability needed for dogfight and air to ground search and destroy roles. You will see J-10C flying more air to ground sorties in coming years more than air to air like...

Is this taken from real flying aircraft of scale model kit?

Fighters maneuverability best at mach 0.75-0.85 having the thrust to throw high yoyo, hard 9G banking, etc. However, after bleeding out & whenever it's hard to gain speed during dogfight, mostly doing below 300kts, at lower speed below 200kts, aircraft with less aerodynamic less swept wings such...

Zhuhai air demo is nothing spectacular in terms of stunts in the air. The J-20 is just for attraction to those never seen the J-20 with own eyes. Military expo is just for customers to browse for suitable weapons or just sight seeing

The J-20 is already banking when the camera started recording on the turn radius. I calculated few times minus the bad camera angle, it took 9 seconds to complete the 180degree turn and the turning radius is actually big compared to Su-27 and F/A-18E. There's no manned aircraft that could...

The speed 3000kmh is too exaggerated. Both J-10C and rafale aerodynamic is not designed for speed but more towards low speed maneuverability. This is why both can't reach Mach 2, only max 1.8+ like F/A-18E.

I totally agree with you. At the mean time, they don't seem keen to add TVC to WS-10C. We'll wait and see what are they up to next, everyone is waiting for WS-15.

Have you seen present US aircraft inventory? If China is unlucky being ganged up like Iraq, looking at India being close ally to US providing FOB to US, then China would fight outnumbered war. Based on Russian strategy against US in Mig-31, the internal gun is there to take out bombers if the...

In fact you are absolutely correct. My country operates Su-30MK with TVC and they said they'll use it whenever they need tighter turn during dogfight. Tested against F/A-18, Mig-29, BAe Hawk, the TVC eases things up in getting to their tails enjoying smaller turn radius. Of course they'll use...

Seems like you're the only 1 having trouble understanding English. Most likely you're trolling. How come you're the only 1 that is having problem can't stick to topic? You owed Su-33KUB an apology because he guessed the length of J-20 correctly at 70ft range. Even I came up with that answer...

The Su-27 without TVC is very maneuverable that it could challenge F-16C & F/A-18C/E in dogfight. The Su-27 despite being large at 21.9m long, its design is more of a giant kite spreading the fuselage apart from 2 engines. Overall weight is just as heavy as the F-15E and F-14B. Whereas Mig-31...

What a great way to tell us there's Z-20 (with only fragment of the tail wing visible) on Type 075 when camera focus is on other choppers
