Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

The J-20 somehow reminds me of the Firefox, but Clint Eastwood will have to think in Chinese this time.
 
J-20 with the thrust vectoring nozzles.

This is something that we need to clarify, and just look at the comparison video.

Yes exactly .. the MKI has a TVC nozzle that swivels up and down as well as to the sides ... whereas the J-20 "simply" has a convergent/divergent nozzle like so many other fighters.

Exactly my point.

does the J20 engine nozzles are coated with ceramic they are looking white from the very beginning

ceramic can reduce EM signature of those nozzles quite a lot


i have posted a thread on how russians are planning to use ceramic on their nozzles & after burner
Areas of work on pak-fa low observabilty from paralay.com

To admit I don't know for sure and even more if, to what extent in what areas ... but in regard to the nozzles I agree with You.

Yepp ... there was quite a bit confusion and some already assumed this to be '2016' ... but both are "only" '2013 & '2013' !

Anyway ... any info when both will go to the CFTE ??
