The CJ1000A engine, designed by AECC and with a thrust of 12913-13608 kgf, is dedicated to the C919 program.

After the chips, it is at the level of civil aviation reactors as well as engine and aircraft certification that China will have to face the Western blockade

I am surprised PAC hasn’t showcased JF-17 block III at the Zhuhai Air Show @Bilal Khan (Quwa)

There might be a live broadcast for the air display

In case you feel down that you can’t visit the expo in person, you can use an alternative. There is a Zhuhai Airshow app that allows virtual tour of indoor and outdoor displays + live streaming of the air shows. Just search 智慧航展app in the app or android store.

J-20 has much better manoeuvrability than you can see even without TVC. Look at this F-22 demo

you will see F-22 lit up its afterburners all the way during the demo. In each turn, F-22 pulled maximum thrust as the two engine nozzles looked burning bright.

F-22 relies heavily on full engagement on afterburners during the demo otherwise the demo cannot be such stunning.

Same happened with JF-17 demo

J-20 pilots should be allowed to use the afterburners more often with greater thrust for the airshow. Therefore its turns can be a lot sharper and the demo can be more entertaining. PLAAF leadership is way too conservative on this matter.

The increased thrust for turning is for avoiding aircraft stalling. The plane could drop from sky at the turn as each sharp turn bleeds the plane a lot of energy. With increased thrust the pilot can be sure that there will be enough push from the engine and therefore he can pull a sharper turn. Fighter jet is not turning like a car. It's turning by sort of flipping along the direction it is flying in.

Regarding this one, the pictures indeed comes from AVIC Weibo Official Account & taken in Zhuhai Airshow.
But for what purpose, we still don't know.


It's about AVIC New Tech of Floating Production Lines for All Chinese Aircraft Factories

or indeed a Next-Gen Fighter Concept

Daaammnn...! Can't wait to see the FFR-41MR Mave Yukikaze becoming a reality!

Not in the short term. A PLAF‘s photographer said commanders have clear restrictions on the J20, which forbids public displays of true performance. The publicity department he belongs to is the lowest priority department in PLAF. All work must follow other department's work plan.
