Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

A silly question how many J-20 prototype have been made?
 
I think two only. I heard somewhere that there is a third one, but I think that's false.

I'm guessing that there will at least be 10 prototypes within the next 3 years. They need a ton of prototypes to shorten the development period, especially if they want to stick with their timeline.
 
2004 emerge suddenly, :cheesy: is it PS?

And this was done probably with the AL-31 engine. The much more powerful engine WS-15 engine will allow much more impressive feats. One of reason for the demonstration of maneuverability even on AL-31 is due to the superior aerodynamic design to reduce air friction and drag.

Video of this capability.


The engine of J-20 remains as a mystery till now, it doesn't look like the AL-31F engine.

However, the features are also not typical for the TH engine.
