Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

The problem is simply that patience is really not my virtue !

 

[applesauce]

"14" worse than "4", "4" == "death" and "14" == "to die/go to die" or "go to hell"

putting "13" infront of it make it better again lol
but really the PRC government does not subscribe to superstition, and since j-20 is a government project im going to say no way they skipped 14 simply because the number is supposedly bad. either 15 is a ps or we dont have a pic of 14 yet or 14 is a static test unit

Images ... I want images !!! ... come on !

Anyway to admit I'm still surprised and speechless, even 2011 and 2012 alone would be a great success or progress to this program, but that they managed to fly 4 J-20s this year is something I did not expect.
Therefore if the 201x aircraft are already representing a similar status like the J-10 101x- pre-production models, we could probably even speak of something similar to a LRIP.

I don't care tail boom, it looks N.o2015 also not any surprise about the jet engines ... disappointed.

 

[Deino]

Not really disappointing IF that image is real ! Therefore for me the most important question was: is this image legit ?

Regarding the engines I did not expect anything spectacular ... IMO they will continue using this proven even if slightly weak engine also for the LRIP-models.

Said with 14 tons of wet thrust power.

Is the J20 start to enter service with small batch production? I just smell it.

Who will expect CHina airforce have this fictional design ten years ago? I would say a mammoth progess and miracle really happens.
