Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

no. 2102 is a photoshop fake !




ähhhhm, care to explain why You think so ?

Doesn't matter what I think or what it may 'look' like until the day before yesterday, I wasn't sure whether it's a modified Russian AL variants or WS10 variants, but now I'm sure it's WS10B variants, 'because they said it out clearly'

btw, you can dig out how many ALs we imported since 2002 and how many required for 10A/B/C 11A/B,15s build-ups, as far as I know, the number does come very close to the number of 3 and 3.5 gen fighters we build that need AL series engines.. and in terms of J-20, it is not in testing phase now, as there are nearly 20+ already in service, and 20+ more on production, and rigid exercises have been taking places, therefore a large number of reliable engine supply is vital ```

there will be loads and loads J-20 rolling out of production line`` so as hundreds of 10C, 16, 15 and 11D within 5 years````its a serious business mate, he said, it is like preparing for a full scale war````they said this much, and I conveyed this much here, please don't ask me for prove```

In such case, gun will be installed, most probably on left side, as this particular picture with red highlighted area tells that these are sealed/permanent pieces and no opening panels.

珠海航展上碎片迷彩版的歼20惊鸿一瞥让人好不过瘾，最近迷彩歼20又有大图流出，机尾处似乎被作者抹去了编号，可能也交付了试训部队。有消息称，目前成飞已有两条歼20战机生产线，第三条也将开工，届时中国或可年产36架歼20战机。（图片来源：@jacksonbobo）

Amazing! J-20 can turn without first banking. Click on the link.

Normal turning with sharp banking first.

It's called a rudder, every aircraft can basically do that just like every aircraft can go into a verticall climb without afterburners.

Rumors that the DSI of J-20 is adjustable? (20这图是可调Bump？)

It shows the DSI Bump is flexible. The lighter color of the DSI probably signify its made of different material than the surrounding area.

Very interesting, hopefully this is not photoshopped.

Sorry again to calm down Your enthusiasm, but this images could be a hint; surely not a proof and even more such a dent - as if a mechanic had used a hammer on that part - makes simply no sense.

IMO it more an issue of lightning/shadow.

It is not a proof. But to make a flexible surface that is adjustable is not beyond anybody's ability. The value of adjustable DSI is to allow optimum airflow to the engine at various speed from low subsonic speed, to transonic speed and supersonic speed.

The engineer must first find out the optimum shape of the DSI Bump at various speeds, and then program the FCS computer to adjust the shape at that speed.

This kind of innovation that is not hard to copy once someone has demonstragted it and proved that it works. I expect more plane will use it in the future. This kind of adjustable DSI saves several hundred kilograms of weight and save the internal space for the machinery to adjust airflow and get rid of the troublesome boundary layer.

DSI is a major innovation invented and patented by Lockeed Martin. It is an example of Think-Outside-of-the-Box invention.
