3 test flights in a day。

I'm wondering if China gonna introduce the 2D vector nuzzle into this aircraft.

Hope 2003 will install WS-15 with 2D nozzle. It will be a very good stealthy plane.

I think I'm suffering from 'appreciation fatigue' of the J-20 where one just get used to looking at pictures of the same thing over and over again. I want to see J-31 flying soon to have something new to look at

Suffered the same problem with J-10 and J-11. I discovered J-10 ~3 years ago and at first it was pretty interesting. (Even J-8 was interesting when I first found it)

One of the J-20 prototypes have reached CFTE.

You really cannot blame those who keeps on posting those pictures because they can do nothing else. They have no relevant experience to explain to the readers as to why an aircraft does this at so and so attitude at so and so altitude because of so and so situation.

It also depends on the subject as well. If an aircraft is an exhibit of newly discovered aerodynamic principles, then we would have aerodynamicists going ga-ga over the tiniest structure and speculations -- some legit and some not -- abounds. That is not the case here. Am no aerodynamicist but a sensory and avionics specialist and it is difficult enough for the interested lay readers to visualize air flow at several hundreds km/h, let alone electromagnetic behaviors that occurs at speed of light. So the only thing we can do is seek out foundational principles of the subject to reduce some of the technical fog, if not outright dispel them. Unfortunately for real science, these guys have no relevant experience in the EM spectrum either.

That is J-15 not J-20.

Well it's new pics each time, just under similar settings from similar angles. I'm not saying that it's not a good looking plane, just that the novelty had worn off, like the difference between when you get your first car and 6 months later.

If they shoot photos of something new, like weapon testing, high altitude flying, flying over new terrains/ in formations etc then it will be interesting again. But the PLAAF is not obviously going to do these or release the photos just to satisfy me, they will do things according to their own schedules.

That is J-15 not J-20.

You are looking at the left side of pic. There is J-20 on the right.

Or a 'mishap'. Now THAT will start the whole speculation thing as well as trolling behaviors going again.

Wake me up when the F-22 don't suffocate the pilot.
It's unproven in battle and far inferior to the J-20.
F-22 is another American media hyped propaganda equipment.


J-31 is now VASTLY superior to the F-35 which is so crap many countries don't even want it.

I think now we are ahead of the US in 5th generation technology.
US had the lead, but now is falling behind china just like they are economically.

How do you know tell me what is the drag to weight ratio of the f-22, the F-35 man there's a lot orders in it.

porting new pic is of importance.they keep uploading new pic,as J20 is continuing its flying test.this shows important information of J20 progress.but we are just fans so we can only get some direct information with out deep ones,which is cia's job.
uploading new pics is a contribution to this forum,even for some intelligence agency.

a lovely cat was glancing at J-20 at ground test.http://tuku.military.china.com/military/html/2012-10-10/208587_2247336.htm#pic
