The Hornet is a pretty manoeuvrable aircraft, what you are trying to say is delta canards achieve a high ITR because of the configuration it self, which is not true, the J-10 is pretty agile because it has a larger wing than F-16 thus it has a lower wing loading, AJ-37 is also a delta canard and...

F-16 was designed as a tight turning aircraft, however consider it first flew in 1974, while J-10 was flown in 1997, J-10 is similar to Gripen because both were designed in the same period. You are saying the F-16 is good at sustained turn rate (STR) and J-10 at (instantaneous turn rate) ITR...

it is not impossible, they can modify the intake, there is no technical limitation, they can do that, the only point is if you ever have seen F-35 you will see it has not bleeding system, in few words has not porous holes in the intake bump or intake cowl, you can compare F-35 to JF-17, those...

adapting the WS-15 will mean adapting a new air intake, if you ever have seen the DSI on JF-17 you will see it has boundary layer suction holes in the intake but you will also see its intake lips and cowl have those holes, on J-10B the bump is higher in order to install a much more powerful...

look I am not attacking you, the article quotes Robert Farley, he gives his opinion, you can be right about her, but when i read the article it was interesting for me because they quoted a 20 tonnes weight for an empty J-20, considering it might be navalized well, i thought it could be, he is...

that information you quote is general public, your conclusions at the most are based upon general public information, no technicalities are shown nor official manuals, the level of conversation of this forum sometimes is so low, that is only personal attacks or nationalistic rants, if it was...

most information used in this forum is not of experts, first there are not math involved, (most real experts use math and at least have work in the areas of expertise) so the forum manages at the most general public information, very graphic but most of the information at the most comes from...

Could China's J-20 Stealth Fighter Become Their Very Own 'F-14 Tomcat'? "As part of future Chinese carrier air wings, the J-20 most likely would perform beyond-visual-range air-superiority missions, firing heavy air-to-air missiles at distant targets much like the U.S. Navy’s now-retired F-14...

Stealth increases cross sectional area because the need of internal weapons bays, larger cross sectional area means higher drag It is self evident in this picture the F-16 is much thinner than F-35, F-35 has also the empty weight of a F-15 , around 13000kg while F-16 is much lighter around...

get this F-15 has external weapons drag, but its cross section is smaller and has semi-recessed air to air missiles of low drag, F-22 has no external weapons drag, but its bigger cross section makes for bigger surface pushing against the air, to overcome for that higher weight and bigger cross...

aircraft having internal weapons have more internal volume to accommodate the weapons, the racks and the systems to launch its weapons, thus will increase their internal volume, see how much bigger is F-35 compared to F-16 or Mirage III compared to F-106, in order to have similar performance you...

let me clarify, as Gambit already told a few aircraft carried internal weapons bays, but they were big or attack aircraft, F-111, A-5 Vigilante were interdictors, F-106 was huge, compared to a Mirage III it was too big, in order to have internal weapons bays, you need to increase thrust in a...

To understand why F-117 type nozzles are not used on J-20 we need to know that this type of nozzles reduced the thrust of each engine of F-117 from 10540 lb to 9040lb, so it has a very low IR and RCS but it losses almost 1500lb of thrust in each engine around 3000 lb of thrust in total J-20...

in general most aircraft are designed with on design parameters and off design features, aircraft like F-117 have the ideal low IR, low RCS nozzles, disadvantage they cool and lower the pressure of the jet engine that the jet engines lose thrust, stealth not always goes well with aerodynamics in...

the main issue for China, Japan or Russia at this moment is they lack operational engines as powerful as F119 or F135, both Su-57 and J-20 do not have full aspect stealth because 2D nozzles reduce thrust and add weight, less thrust means drag has a higher impact, the Japanese for example still...

yes of course it is easy to see you do not understand diffraction, hiding upon supposedly smart comments, the j-20 has ventral fins that do have diffraction and you lack of knowledge of even high school physics was shown by do not recognizing that the 7 slit already is eliminating great part of...

he is not wrong, pretty much from above the F-22 has intake shielding, stealth is no magic in fact pretty much with high school physics you can understand it, J-20 or F-22 are not magical machines, they still are visible to radar. Planforming works basically as signaling mirrors, the chines of...

stealth is not invisibility, it is an attempt to make harder for the opposition to detect them, all radars will detect J-20 or F-22, the problem is always the range, light as well as radar are electromagnetic waves, they have diffraction, in few words light as well as radar bend their paths...

just from the picture you can see J-20 is around 21+ meters, as I knew, every new picture shows that i was right 21 meters at least
