New Recruit
I have found some optimistic image, can any one explain-
J-12 5th generation multi-role jet under construction
T-50 is I think another name by Sukhoi to the 5th generation PAK Fa russia-india
You are right. The T-50 is the name of the prototype that was made under the PAK FA program. It is likely to get a sukhoi designation in the future though it wont necessarily be Su-50 (The Su-47 was first called the S-37). In fact, Sukhoi usually usually gives even-numbered designations for ground attack aircraft.
I think Russia's PAKFA would be better
Stealthiness is an integral part of all new fighter designs and J-12 is no exception. The engines are most likely to be Russian with Thrust Vectoring. Stealth and thrust vectoring are two features that are a must in all aircraft being designed today. Interestingly, Chinese aircraft designers will actually perform a 'generation leap' if J-12 goes into service with PLAAF. All aircraft produced in China before (apart from licenced Su-27) have been 3rd generation aircraft. Chengdu will have to take Western/Israeli/Russian help to make J-12 truly 5th generation.
China jumping from 3rd gen to 5th gen? Hehehe, if you know about the chinese fighter jets then you'll know China classifies its jets differently from the west, what china calls 3rd gen (i.e. J-10) is the 4th gen in the west, china's 4th gen (j-xx) is the 5th gen in the west (F-22). And it most probably won't be called J-12. Btw we have J-15 already!
well the first pic is the cockpit of the future chinese 5th generation aircraft described by the chinese sources, while the second pic is of a 001 prototype aircraft, similar to a F-22, chinese 5th generation may be, it may be PSed, experts may tell better, but in the background there is a banner in chinese writing, so don't know is it true or not. But chinese defence websites sources think its authentic.
what these photos has to do with china,T-50 is a cooperation projects between russia and india.....
These images are a little bit trust worthy.
