Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

[Figaro]

Thanks for Your explanation.

I'm not sure. I recall back in 2015 that angadow got the 2017 prototype timing correct and his 2016 FC-31V2 prediction right. He seems credible... and besides, his statement coincided with that J-10 testbed drawing from another photographer. I think we will see something from chengdu in a very short amount of time

But as far as I know, his credibility is most of all related to SAC not CAC.

[Deino]

Indeed nice ... But only a CG.

They aren't. They're out of proportion in the posted picture. In reality, they're not particularly large.

Yes ... please give us more !

The guy is not a very reliable soure, and he is no longer the mod of CJDBY, due to poor creditablity of his stories.

Yes lots of shameless fabrication.

Reminds me to this one taken on 15. November 2016, so in Germany we would sing "Alle Jahre wieder" (English: Every Year Again), as it is the text in the well known Christmas carol: Here today two J-20As were spotted at CAC (left image) quite similar to the same scene taken on 15. November 2016.

No 2021?

No 2021?

Either it is one of the two painted birds in @cirr's image or it is not visible.

Testing of new engines on J20 has begun?

Why new and begun?
That is most likely again the WS-10-powered no. 2021.
