thank you gambit, i really learnt something, this really helps to understand J-20 more

they have to choose priorities, stealth imposes many conditions that not always are the best solution for aerodynamics, for example the internal weapons bays make for a much bigger and heavier aircraft if they want to keep space for fuel to put it mildly F-35 weights more than 5 tonnes more than...

you are talking absolutes, that is the reason people sometimes do not understand each other, Gambit never said DSI intakes are less or more stealthy in absolute terms, both systems have stealth treatment, both have compromises, the Caret intake type requires more RAM, more maintenance, more...

you can consider J-20 first an element of weapons system, China had some limitations and also advantages, J-20 was designed pretty much like a Large F-35, adding very likely better manoeuvrability due to its canards, if it has similar wing loading and TWR. If it has better engine very likely...

the common problem in forums and why they become so uncivilized is consider an aircraft an extension of our own ego, the reason J-20 has DSI is not stealth, it is maintenance, F-22 has in the intake need for more maintenance, maintenance, reflects the numbers of sorties it will fly, to put it...

I do not speak upon my personal opinion, I usually look for scientific reports by experts, in fact i posted a Brazilian research to justify what i posted, furthermore if you have ever read the development history of other stealth aircraft ranging from MiG1.44, Su-47, Japanese shinshin, Turkish...

gambit did a pretty good explanation and he is very right, just let me add there is nothing truly stealthy, nor F-22, J-20 or F-35 just by simple high school physics you can understand stealth. Electromagnetic waves follow the rules the quantum mechanics dictate; radiation is absorbed or...

try to understand what gambit said There are three rules in designing a low radar observable body... - Control of QUANTITY of radiators - Control of ARRAY of radiators - Control of MODES of radiation add the canard can not shield the wing, the wing does shield the canard in example F-22...

i agree with you but i think the J-20 was designed if it has a similar wing loading to F-35 to be more agile, the Japanese video basically says they sacrificed stealth in exchange for agility, in a head to head encounter the F-35 vs J-20 their RCS maybe are very similar, i think and agree with...

Do you understand Japanese? i guess you think i made up the video do not you? go to the video if you understand japanese or ask any of your friends who speaks Japanese and verify if I am lying, the article sheds light upon the Japanese point of view because as the description on the video says...

Japanese video analysis of J-20, it says J-20 was fitted with canards mainly for agility rather than stealth, it says Turkish Studies did say the stealth features of canards are detrimental to RCS reductions however it gains in terms of mobility (maneuvering capability) something repeated by...

they still use them, Gripen F-16 Harrier Mirage 2000 Rafale Hornet What the J-10 is doing is normal, their use is mission dependant

you are misunderstanding me, certainly it is not a clone, however the distinct models you presented lack features J-10 have in common with Lavi, aircraft design is science but also a kind of art, because aircraft have different requirements sometimes these are contradictory, for example the...

I did not write the article John W. Golan has served as a designer, structural analyst, and engineering manager in the U.S. aerospace industry for the last two decades, developing future-generation technology concepts. He has published articles with Air Forces Monthly, Combat Aircraft...

China's F-16: Meet the J-10 Fighter (Possibly Thanks to Israel) Here's what happened. by Sebastien Roblin The J-10 “Vigorous Dragon” is a mainstay of China’s effort to modernize its large fleet of single-engine jet fighters, with 350 already in service. An agile tactical fighter similar to...

Pakistan refuses Chinese engines in China’s JF-17 fighters POSTED BY CRAIG HILL ⋅ SEPTEMBER 1, 2019 China’s JF-17 Fighter As the JF-17 is one of China’s “clean slate” designs, this bodes well for the reliability characteristics of the current generation of Chinese aircraft. However, the...

you are a hypocrite and a moron, you can call any that does not make less stupid, you are an idiot who does not have humility and knowledge of aviation, just an stupid guy pandering nationalism to other stupid nationalist learn aeronautics moron, stupids like you, call mother when they lack...

hypocrite better present better arguments that you lack, your childish theories that C919 is testing western equipment to make it more appealing, ARJ-21 is a total utter failure that will make any passenger worry to get into a Chinese airliner, China still is behind in aeroengines but a good...

minimum requirement was 24 at 2 billion Dollars 48 Su-35s equal 4 billion, why do not you make math instead of putting idiotic theories, China does not sell engines for fighters to Russia nor to the West, so far a more realistic person says China could not buy more because they are darn...

fantasy of Chinese forum, WS-10 is used mostly on J-11 for a simple reason a less reliable engine needs a mate if it fails on a single engine you need a more reliable engine because if it fails your aircraft drops, if China has better J-11 with Ws-10 why buy Su-35? in fantasy land for charity...
