Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

Some Chinese whispering:
1) a trial war game J20 v J11, results 0 v 124;
2) a full-tank flying test lasted 275 minutes, no mentioning of quantity of residual fuel and cruising speed.

Would you mind to quote me the source please ? Thx.

So what's in regard to '2101's maiden flight ??? Still no confirmation, still no image ??
 
It cannot be true, as J20 is not yet delivered to PLAAF. How can PLAAF conduct such an "exercise" of J20 vs J11, with no J20 in hand? Most probably someone played some kind of simulation game and showing of the results.
At least eight different J-20 prototypes have been flying for the last five years.

Pitting one of the eight prototypes against a squadron of J-11s is common sense.

Real world tests are the only way to improve the J-20 before mass manufacture, which is currently underway.

The PLAAF won't wait until FORMAL mass manufacture before evaluating the J-20 against a squadron of J-11s. The PLAAF would want to know the necessary design changes before LRIP (ie. low rate initial production).
