Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

I need help too. Due to the slightly different angle of both images, they look a bit different. IMO the most recent one looks transparent and could be a working-thing, no longer a mock-up, but otherwise I can't see what's so special. And that tiny little thing on the rear-fuselage looks a bit like the luneberg-lenses we've already seen on other images, however usually on the belly.

Henri K.:
- J-20 2017 will fly before the year is out
- #2017 will be the last pre-production prototype

Just got this Good News.
J-20 Prototype '2017' will fly before the end of this year.
and J-20 Prototype '2017' will become the last Prototype before enter Production Phase.

Is that mean J-20 Fighter will enter Production in the beginning of 2016?

Em... no?
you forgot the ws-15 engine. Its worthless to enter production if there is no potent engine reliable working. I doubt that ws-15 is ready by 2016. Also it has to be tested then on J-20.

See above。

Yes，2017 could be the last prototype before initial batch production begins in 2016.
