The J-20 got 20 tonnes empty and 40 tonnes takeoff.
These figures seem to be more realistic to me.
It would be absolutely amazing that:
1.) J-20 is
3.5-4.5m longer than F-22.
2.) But J-20 weighs the
same as F-22 at 20 tons.
3.) J-20 is able to carry
12 tons internal fuels, which is 40% more than F-22's
8 tons.
4.) And able to carry
8 tons (4 tanks) more fuels externally, vs 2 external tanks for F-22.
5.) J-20 have the same structural strength to last over
8,000 hrs, as F-22.
6.) J-20 could pull Max.
9G, and able to pull
6.5G at
Mach 1.5.
7.) J-20 could achieve the same weight with
20% Titanium, 25% composite material, vs
f-22's 40% Ti, and 29% composite material.
The rest are presumed to be Steel and Aluminum for both planes.
8.) With
3 tons of internally carried weapons, (and possibly
several more tons of externally carried weapons) that would put J-20's maximum take off weight to be 20 + 12 + 8 + 3 =
43 tons. vs F-22's 38 tons maximum take off weight.
9.) And J-20 could carry all that
extra 5 tons weight, with same the empty weight of 20 tons, and being 3.5-4.5m longer.
10.) Not all of the 20 tons empty weight will be used for structural support.
If we assume half of that is used for radar, avionics, landing gears, pilot's seat, and life support, miles and miles of internal wirings and tubes, and two engines, only 10 tons will be available for structural support. And this 10 tons must be able to keep a fully loaded
43+ tons plane at max. 9G, cruise at mach 1.5 and able to pull 6.5G at that speed, and in service for 8,000 hrs or 30 years.
Simply incredible and utterly unbelievable.
I won't believe this nonsense for a second.
Who could believe this sh*t?
