People who aruges that J-20 used TVC nozzles always posts pictures that might make you think the nozzles aren't pointing straight if you squint your eyes real hard. While any proper TVC nozzle will vector over 20 degrees which are easily recognizable beyond dispute. Think about it: If J-20...

Drones do not fly very fast, rarely exceeding 250kph. Their insane aspect ratio(Very long wings) provides a great lift coefficient at low speed. Which means the drone can stay in air at low speed with very low fuel consumption. Which is good for endurance. If you watch some videos of drone...

If any one talks about F-18 now, they are not talking about F-18C/D(F-18 developed from YF-17 Cobra). It's almost always about F-18E/F. Which is a major redesign/enlargement. It also featured new engine that improved thrust per engine from 79 to 98 kN. That's a massive improvement of 24%. Which...

This conversation is painful to watch. Side 1: Here's the evidence why the J-20's engine is likely AL-31F series and there's not a single piece of evident to suggest they are WS-10. Side 2: Your evidence is just observation, I don't count that as evidence. What evidence do you have that proves...

Why would JH-7B be frequently recommended to Pakistan by some members? The concesus around Chinese military forum is JH-7A is a 2.5 Gen(Like the Tornado)strike fighter(This role is being replaced by Multirole fighters in modern militaries). It's engine is old with low thrust and TWR, it's...

NASA seems to have no problem with it. Lots of good people in NASA liked the idea of collaborating with China, some even boycotted a meeting because a few Chinese scientists was denied entry due to the infamous China exclusion policy. If it wasn't because the recent conflicts in SCS which...

Misleading title. They ownly talked about defending themselves when being targeted. Which the Russians are not going to do.

Well, it's based on an existing design so naturally it would be quicker. Also since SCS is becoming troublesome and the contruction of this ship would have a pretty high priority. Expect China's third carrier: Type 002 (INS Vishal equivalent) to be somewhat slower as it would be China's first...

Chinese UN soldiers have a strict rule to remain neutral at all times and only defend them selves when under deliberate attack. So it should expected that Chinese UN troops are not fighting for either side. Also a large portion of Chinese UN troops are combat engineers instrad of infantry as...

Stick too close to the US, and they'll try to give you a pro US government to keep you close to the US forever. Nice try, Vietnam. Hope you keep it up. It's funny how many "democratic party" of various contires are based in the US and banned in their home state.

I'm not living in a fairytale or a fantasy. I am strictly sticking to this thread and asking you to quote the lines Deino said or implied that "China can't innovate with its WS-10 engine". Since you are country bashing I believe there is no point to continue this arguement as the common ground...

In which line did he say that? Stop putting words into his mouth. He simply stated that in every single picture we saw there hasn't been a J-20 with non-AL-31 engine. Therefore there is no evidence for a J-20 with non-AL-31 engine to exist although it might, but we have yet to see it.

There is no evidence for a 155kN WS-10. Some are still skeptical about the 140kN one. And we know nothing about the thrust of WS-15. My estimations are 155-165kN. Some think it will have a thrust of 180kN but keep in mind that even if the WS-15 have drastically improved TWR(9 if being...

That back swept structure is totally necessary.... To reduce drag when cruising at 160 knots? I like Sci-Fi ish designs until they went totally overboard with form over function. Which is common in Japanese Anime styled designs. And these plates on the side... Kinetic barrier from Mass Effect?

"...including J-20. Our J-31" "One model is for domestic use" "One model is for promotion on the international market" "We are cooperating with a foreign nation for the second model"

While I appreciate your optimism for Chinese jet engines, most data on the list is simply not true. There's no data about the thrust for WS-15(the J-20 engine), Chinese military fans estimated it to be around 15.5 to 16 tonnes. There is no "WS-10G". It's just a rumor that was around the...

So the made in China flag is 35% cheaper compared to made in India ones? Easy, set up a "national flag tariff" or something that puts a 50% tax on imported Indian flags. Problem solved. It's not like the consumers are going to care. A flag is cheap anyways and you rarely buys it. Unless there...

Jet fuel can't melt steel beams.

IMO Aviator glasses doesn't really "work" on asian women. They are better off without it. Right now it just looks weired.

Space exploration is something that will benefit all of humanity. Just because the US set up a shitty example to make space exploration political (Bans NASA from all corporation with China), doesn't mean we have to be as shitty as them.
