People have begun to lose interest in taking pics and having them posted online。

You will see fewer and fewer pics thus taken and posted。

Please elaborate.

Can you explain what this means? Has a prototype been built?

it said 01 type had a maiden flight on 2016/jan.
reported from Hua Nan physic school in Kwangtung aviation's composite material & structural engineering centre.
there is some type of physical impact test on the material with respect to fuel tank..

The paper is a nice try to spread rumor while provide no information.
I could show you guys more details of several tests on the material with respect to cradle and fuel tanks with pictures.

Maiden flight in January 2016 ... this could be the pre-serial J-20 '2101' !

or anything else

Indeed, ... but what ? Given the fact that CAC is quite closely watched by several spotters and the Date of January 2016 is given, I can't think that any other - especially something very secret - has made its maiden flight in January unnoticed.

Deino

some people speculate it is a kind of super sonic plane not j20 #01

 

[Deino]

The problem is ... some people want to see in each and every report a new engine, a new supersonic airplane.

But fact the facts are:

- was there any new aircraft spotted at CAC in January ? - NO
- was there any maiden flight at CAC in January ? - YES ... 2101
- so, how likely is that a super-secret new aircraft was rolled out at CAC and had its maiden flight in January without being spotted ? - IMO = ZERO !

Just my two cents,
Deino

 

[Deino]

Following some reports: No. '2017' has left Chengdu already on Monday 11. April .... maybe a hint that '2102' will appear soon ?!!

PS: image below is older but sooooooooo nice !

Where does J 20 stand in comparison with F 35 and F 22 ? What about its stealth capability Radar ,avionics, PODS ?
