Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

The sawtooth patern .... Gotta love it!

And who's the poster of the attached pictorial?

WHY does the seemingly a random post of this sort matter or be relevant?

Given that the poster does not even know the WS-10 is installed on the J-20 instead of the AL-31F, we can safely assume he is of no credibility.

Yup it was a false alarm on my part .i checked some of his other posts and they were way in the realm of fantasy . He claims Ws-19 trails on J-35.

Based on the uncropped canard tips and shape of LERX I think this is an older J-20 prototype (2001 or 2002) modified to feature a second main bay.

That was my first idea too (besides I missed the bays) but otherwise I'm not even sure if it is full sized?!
PS ... also an interesting read!

Will China Roll out a Twin Seat J-20?

Rumors abound over a twin-seat variant of the fifth-generation stealth fighter – but does it make sense?

I think it is. If I am not mistaken they still have an inlet blocker in one of the inlets. Why do that if it is just a model?

My biggest concern is that several details simply don't fit to the true 2001!

... need to look for a better image!

Wow ... So the question now is: are these deployed from 9th Brigade at Wuhu like some say due to maintenance work there or is it in fact the re-equipped 85th AB replacing Su-30MKKs as with the 9th Brigade before at Wuhu and as such the long expected next J-20 brigade?

By the way, does anyone where this is?

The fact that it both shows the silhouette of Flankers and J-20s could be a hint that these barracks belong to an air base and even more it could indicate a transition from Flankers to J-20s at this base?
