j20 new pic

by the way,j20 flew twice today and one of j20's engine was replaced(maybe ws10g or ws15???)

Note:today,two nozzles are different

 

[Martian2]

Looks like the "petals" of the concentric variable-area afterburner nozzles of the right engine was extended or set in the "open" position while the left one was not. It appears that the pair of engines can work independently to optimize performance. If this is true, it would say a whole lot about the integrated flight management & control system. The master computer needs to work seamlessly with the ultra complex FBW; coordinate FADEC of each engine with all the moving surfaces. It would be one hell of a super fighter when TVC is added when serial production begins. [Macau Boy's commentary]

Notice the two nozzles are different. [HouShanghai's comment]

J-20 with new indigenous engine?

[Note: Thank you to Marchpole for the post.]

What engine could it be?

Wikipedia (unreliable source i know) claims that WS-10B and WS-10G have TVC, so it cannot be any of those.

 

[cloneman]

God knows.The engine issue was there since the J20 pictures were revealed.Even the insiders like Maya cant convincelly expain what is it.Mostlikely its a WS10 variant?

where did you get this info? will you be invited for a 'tea talk'?

if its true as you claimed, the intensity proves that the current J-20 is a solid piece of craft, I think they must have more than one J-20.... few days ago there were some murky pictures about the 'second' J-20 conducting test flight`?

there are actually three of them. some one posted a picture a few days back...

 

[Dragon Emperor]

In 2 years many J-20s would have undergone hundreds of hours worth of flight time, matching F-35. I predict the J-20 will enter service the latest by 2016, with a minimum of 60 in service.

 

[Broccoli]

Could it be WS-15?
