Although J-20 is a good aircraft and looks spaceagesque from certain angles. The rear half of it belly is less esthetically pleasing than f-22. It has to do with the sleek and upwrds curving rear half of F-22, which further flattens out and almost efforlessly blends into the 2D vector nozzles.

J-20 underbelly seems more boxy and discontinous. I often imagine what it would look like with 2D nozzles.

From another bias comment. Photo speaks louder than fantasy.

i asked a normal question..
why Chine order 400 engine from Ukraine? is it hard to make an engine with 4600kgf like ai322f?
to be honest, these questions in my head.
any plan to export j20 to any country soon?

China’s J-10C secures Pakistan as its first export market

Pakistan appears to have become the first export customer for the Chengdu J-10 fighter, with images of J-10Cs in Pakistan air force markings appearing on Chinese social media.

Judging from the aircraft’s thrust petals, the Pakistani J-10s use are powered by the Shenyang WS-10B engine, as opposed to the Saturn AL-31F. It was only in May 2021 that the first clear images emerged of a People’s Liberation Army Air Force J-10C powered by the WS-10B.

Mounted inside the J-10, the WS-10 can be identified by a few subtle features. One is that the afterburner nozzle petals are notably wider than on the AL-31. The WS-10 also has a ring structure around the interior of the nozzle that is absent on the AL-31.

Look i get what you mean.
But you can compare J-20 with J-35. No boubt J-35 has a more estetiq belly, which is similar to F-22. Now J-22 and especially J-35 would probably look pretty cool with 2D nozzles.

It is in development. I assume things are going smoothly because they actually mentioned the aircraft engine by type and explicitly stated that it will be thrust vectored, information they never release in official capacity before.

They say WS-15 is designed for 5th generation fighter jet. The performance is better than WS-10. That's it.
