J-20 N.o2015 original pic

Thanks a lot, and Yes You were right ... by the way I have some daubts if this is the original image. If You look closely around the tires, they seem to be as much cleaned up (and not as nicely as mine !) ...

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.

In keeping with what the deputy commander of the PLAAF said in 2010.

Look at the top of the canopy. Is that for the ejection seat?

Maybe in the future my friend, I think FC31 is more realistic.

6TH J-20 STEALTH FIGHTER ROLLS OUT, MORE TO SOON FOLLOW

CHINA ON TRACK TO OPERATE ASIA'S FIRST STEALTH FIGHTERS

6th J-20 Stealth Fighter Rolls Out, More to Soon Follow | Popular Science

“Coming less than three weeks after the fifth prototype, "2013", first flew on November 29, 2014, the rapid production of J-20 stealth fighters suggests that China's flagship fighter program is entering Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP). LRIP is the stage in the development of military platforms where the design is essentially frozen, thus allowing the manufacturing to begin gaining experience by producing small numbers of the finished design (the F-35 is currently on LRIP Batch 8). The rapid production of four similar fighters within a year suggests that China has settled on the final design of the J-20, and it is likely that production of the first squadron could happen in 2015. The first squadron of 20-24 fighters would be produced in 2015 and early 2016, going to the China Flight Test Evaluation Regiment to develop tactics for the J-20's advanced capabilities. Assuming things go to schedule, the first J-20 squadron would be ready for combat in 2017.”

“A 2016-2017 introduction places the J-20's debut in the same window as the Russian PAK-FA fighter, as well as the USMC F-35B and USAF F-35A. More importantly, the J-20 would make the PLAAF the first Asian air force to have a fifth generation fighter, definitively shifting the balance of indigenous Asian air superiority to China for the first time in history. Future iterations of the J-20 would be equipped with the supercruise capable WS-15 Chinese turbofan engine, and possibly advanced systems like directed energy weapons (lasers) and networked UAVs.”

I remembered how ugly looking PT-1/2 were but now this bird has shown its true colors yet the length is too long. If they shorten its length a little then it would be the unmatched Miss. Universe of aviation.
China has shattered Ruskie's dream to fly Asia's first stealth fighter.
Way to go bros

Hmm ... IMO looks photoshoped from the image posted above by simply adding the IFR-image + erasing the legs from that guy standing behind.
