During 90s, when I saw American's artistic concept of ATF, I said to myself there is no chance for China to make something like that due to the fact that China only got j-7 and J-8-I and under international embargo. And time has been passed so fast, I'm very please to see China progress as we're now.

No, why do You think so ?? By the way, I think it's an older one, even if I'm no longer able to find each and every image I have saved over the years.
 
.
By the way, what's the current number of J-20A's build ??

The so far final bird delivered is 78275 in mid March.

Bro, times have changed. I was watching a few CCTV documentaries on how they build the JH-7A, DF-5, T-99, etc. Those guys had it so tough, no proper computers, it was their first time seeing a CAD program. They had to start from scratch. They worked really hard. I am confident that China can cut short alot of R&D time because we work harder, we have some of the best talent, and now we have proper funding and facilities. That's why these past 10 years, all of a sudden, the fruits of our hardship start to pop-up . Would you have imagined a Y-20 5 years ago. I believe by end of the year, China will officially unveil a domestic engine for Y-20.

WS-20 engine is not that critical for Y-20. Its vary will be more critical for C919 to be fully indigenous. The WS-18 is currently more than enough for PLAAF strategic need.
