with advance in simulator technology, most of the new fighters are without twin seat requirements. however the need to twin seat has reduced but not diminish. That is why we see twin seaters still been build but not only for conversion but for other roles mainly strike and EW. IN case of JFT...

Thanks for sharing. Nicely written. But not much technical data. The engine thrust is rated at 29,000 LBS. i though and read on this forum the thrust is 32000 lbs max. another information previously not talked about is voice interaction system.

J10CE can carry ~3800 KG of fuel internally.
f-16 blk 50/52 has 3200 kg internal fuel.

i believe that too, as with 5th/6th gen technology, long range engagement will be problematic. even today if f-22 / f-35 go against j-20 it will be a dog fight
