As you all know, only AVIC and LM have DSI tech. No other plane builder has it. DSI fintroduced with JF-17 both in the prototype stage in May 2006 and in the service stage in February 2010. So what makes DSI desirable? The following points explains.

1. Looks better. Slants forward instead of slants backward as in traditional intakes. Imagine you protrude your chin forward and recede your chin backward. Which looks better? It's a no brainer.

2. No gap between main fuselage and intakes. Means less drag and better aerodynamics because of less surface area. Also means less RCS because of less surface area.

3. No moving parts inside air intakes since it's part of the main fuselage. Means no worries of malfunction so safer. Also means no need for maintenance and servicing like traditional air intakes need. Also means less weight. Also means less production cost.

4. DSI has big round bumps. Means hides engine fan blades. Means less RCS.


You can see the differences between DSI and traditional intakes like so.

DSI isn't a wonder tech at all :disagree:, it just a alternate tech to variable ramp intake under Mach-2 class and Its side features is to hide most of the engine fan blade that all @undertakerwwefan
 
. .
It is wunder tech because it is wunder. Think of how much a bump can do. It's truly amazing.
Na its not amazing tech at all, its not a revolutionary tech at any sense but added on feature Fixed air intake to regulate the airflow to the engine and have a extra feature of hiding engine fan blades and that's all @undertakerwwefan :angel:

Yes it is. DSI compared to traditional intake is like ESA compared to mechanical radar. It is easier to service because it don't move.

Fixed air intake also does not move like in F-16/F-18/F-22 etc etc, main purpose of DSI is to give more smooth airflow than a conventional fixed air intakes @undertakerwwefan :hitwall::hitwall::hitwall:
 
. .
Yes they do move. There are ramps inside that move all the time to adjust air flow. Only DSI does not move.

Where they move (intake or DSI )in this clip they showing only airflow that of DSI intake, in all DSI jets like F-35/JF-17/J-20/J-31 only one system is USED DSI, intake ramp don't used by these jets, Earlier in the clip they defining Intake ramps not saying that F-35 is using both systems (DSI+ intake ramps) @undertakerwwefan :hitwall::hitwall::hitwall::crazy::crazy::crazy:

Traditional intakes have moving ramps inside that move constantly to adjust air flow at different speeds of the plane. The have to. Only DSI's bumps DO NOT move.

Its only a add on features for the fixed intake, if DSI is that revolutionary tech than Why russian don't USEd in Your beloved Su-57 which still uses traditional intake ramps @undertakerwwefan and exposing 80% engine fan blades, which is one of the biggest radar reflector @undertakerwwefan ;):enjoy:

UAC and Boeing and Dassault and SAAB don't have DSI tech. Only AVIC and LM have DSI tech.
