Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

No.15 of the 01 batch count from 2011.


Thanks a lot for that insight since it would - at least give an argument to - my theory: All demonstrators are just J-20 whereas the 'prototypes' are of the revised configuration J-20A.

Since from 2011 to the current ones no dramatic changes were incorporated it makes sense to allocate them one progressive c/n ... But does that mean that the one after '2017' was in fact '2101'?

2101 was originally denoted 2018.

Fine .. that fit's perfectly. Just give a bit more time and I come up with an estimation ...

:-)

based on Henry K.'s old list from mid 2017.

So there could be many more given that half a year has elapsed? Maybe double the number?

Unlikely even if an increase in rate can be noted.

Given these estimations - about 1 aircraft per 1.5 or 2 months - surely not double esp. since from Jan-June 5 were built - so that between June/July and now November 3 more + '2021' are likely.

Having an unreliable source is just as bad as having none at all ... so far, no reliable sources have claimed that there is going to be 4 production lines in the near time. They all suggest that J-20 mass production can only be attained after the WS-15 incorporation ...

Why news source such as Sina/CCTV are unreliable? because they tell things not agreed with a nobody such as you?
You are wasting my time here.

Sina is often unreliable. That is just the reality of such enthuasist sites. I never said CCTV was unreliable ... did CCTV ever claim that there was 4 J-20 production lines? Or was that something a Sina fanboy spoke of? You should check your sources before posting from Sina. No Big Shrimp has ever spoke of “4 production lines” currently or how the number of J-20s will magically surpass those of F-22s within 1-2 years ... and yet Sina writes some nonsense and you buy into it
