Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

[Beast]

It is said that the 2015 prototype would cancel the ventral fin

ONe of the function of ventral fin is to shield the not so stealth engine nozzle from radar.

OH ... CHINA !!!

PLAAF will be World N.o2 Airforce to equip 5-gen stealth fighters, 2015 start to produce 1st batch of J-20.

6x J-20 prototypes N.o2001, N.o2002, N.o2011, N.o2012, N.o2013, N.o2015

2015 is the last proto?

2015 is the last proto?

I heard another N.o2016 will out in next year, then small batch of J-20 mass production might in 2015.


J-20 N.o2015 changed jet engines ... but this photo not clear.

Now the only problem, J-20 lack domestic thrust vector jet engines like this.(PSed)

Hmmm ... regardless of how much I would like to take this bird as real, I'm very much skeptical ! First of all - again regardless all progress we've seen in recent years - the timing seems off, it's too soon (says my stomach) and even more this out-of sequence number '2015' !? I do not believe in these superstitious things as discussed - why omitting the number "14" but using "04" even to renumber '2002' ?? It makes no sense IMO.

Therefore this is either a ps-job done my an overambitious fan ... or indeed a mayor surprise and then there's most likely also a '2014' somewhere out there ...

Looks like a half-assed PS job done by somebody who needs to see an optometrist.

Chinese dislike 14 as same as West ppl dislike 13, it's a bad lucky number for us. So N.o2013 ==> N.o2015, all China prototype aircrafts skip N.oXX14, u can't find any 14 on China planes.

In Chinese, "14" called like "To die" or "Go to Hell" so we dislike it.

Really ... I knew that the "4" is disliked, but the "14" too ???

Whatever dialect it is, they are one language and based on the same writing.

No need an engine to have a nozzle like this: simple, rude, low efficiency. It's scrapped by any other newer aircraft.

It's ominous number in China culture, understand it? Or you didn't see 14 prototype doesnt prove it is not existence.
