J-20 had its first flight, what now?

I dont know whether someone has posted it or not

This is a blog post by Tphuang, a respected member from sinodefence.

SAC hasn't been beat.

From what CCTV said, SAC is building their own 5th-generation fighter, called the Snowy Owl.

SAC is also building the 4.5th-generation J-16 and the quasi-5th-generation "Silent Flanker".

CCTV said nothing of this sort.

CCTV said nothing of this sort.

I haven't seen anything like it either. SAC's 三翼面 design proposal was rejected, and that was well known. His posts make me wonder where he's getting his stuff from.

Deployment in PLAAF by 2015, and deployment in PAF by 2018-2020.

Just mark my words.

J-11D/E (= Stealth J11 Upgrade)

China's new "JH7B stealth fighter" test flight successful
admin on July 29, 2008 in Military World
According to reliable sources XAC: New Stealth Flying Leopard JH-7B has been successfully flight. New J H-7B is a twin-seat, twin tail layout of stealth, all-weather fighter-bomber. Although the original Flying Leopard "body bone" bottom, but the big thrust to meet the new engine, new Flying Leopard had to be appropriately enlarged body size adjustment. As the new engine's inlet air quantity and unit of engine thrust than the original increase of nearly 50%, plus the stealth shape design needs, the new Flying Leopard can not simply follow and enlarge the body of the original Flying Leopard. New "Spey" engine than the "turbofan WS-9" and "Laosilaisi"
Diameter larger engine, but also short. Therefore, the researchers on the original machine's aerodynamic body shape and internal structure of a drastic improvement! Its great complexity of the workload, no less from the new design of a new aircraft. Because the body is increased so that the machine oil reserves increased significantly, so the J H-7B of the combat radius of several new active duty in the military combat aircraft has a combat radius of leading.
From the outline view; China's "J H-7B" In order to improve performance and strengthen the aerodynamic shape stealth, "JH-7B" uses the world's most popular "S"-shaped inlet, and a new nano-spray suction inlet wave coating to reduce the aircraft radar cross section and positive infrared signal characteristics, and to BWB technology integration, the whole machine the new composite application area increased significantly.
"J H-7B" The way has been improved fuel refueling equipment for the interior in order to further enhance the machine's stealth. Therefore, the "J H-7B" is the first kind of use of computer-aided design modified form of the stealth fighter-bombers.

As the "J H-7B" stealth using a newly developed radar absorbing paint, making the probability of machine to detect much lower. Canopy edge, weapons and weapons-bay doors built with jagged edges, etc. The combination of lines, can effectively reduce radar reflection. Airborne Weapon type used and the plug-in containing a balanced approach, in order to further reduce the infrared signature. J H-7B extensive use of effective stealth measures, its radar cross section (RCS) will be not more than XXX square meters.

What if PLAAF decides that a 20 ton stealth fighter is simply too expensive to be cost-effective, & cans the project in favor of some Eurofighter equivalent?

J-10B will be just that. The J-10B is a VAST upgrade over the J-10A

1. AESA radar
2. WS-10G, 155KN thrust engine with TVC!
3. DSI inlet to reduce RCS and enhance super sonic performance.
4. Superior avoincs over J-10A.
5. Advanced air to ground capabilities.
6. More complete set of weapons and more advanced ones also.

JH-7B has been around for a long time.

In fact, the third photo from top (showing the nose) was taken from a XAC video.

It depicts the JH-7B.

J-11D/E takes form in the J-16 and J-19, both of which are in development at SAC.

 

[milvipes]

Sorry, but those are pictures of the Mitsubishi ATD-X fighter proposal that is going nowhere.

The first one is. The second one isn't.

The second one was taken from a JH-7 video released by XAC. It matches the model of the JH-7B.

 

[no_name]

That and this one below are the only two pics that tentatively shows a stealth version of JH-7B may be in the works.

And by the looks of it this isn't a recent photo.

That CG image appeared years ago. Simply because they choose to use it as background does not mean anything.

 

[pluto]

here it is. haha

 

[cloneman]

What now? no further information for a long time about the J20.We are all played by the PLA.It leaked the certain information it wanted to leak.We wont see anything until the next time PLA feels its necessarry to let us know something.
