If you look closely the serration edges seems to be simply painted on.

However they might really intends for a serration design with new engines.

I doubt it is painted because the extreme heat will burnt the paint away. Also what is the purpose of painting the serration edges?

It may have be plated, who knows, but you can already see some triangles blurred in that photo, also lines from the engine nozzle flap/seal/what you call it is running though the middle. Lastly they mismatch with the silver plates behind.

They do LOOK painted on, perhaps the photo is not very high quality. there seems to be no real edge where there should be.

But AGAIN, it looks that way.. we are just commenting on a photo..not reality ..

Well I appreciate your support for china, it may have blinded you to something that is obvious even to fellow chinese members, if you ask around.

I look at it this way. If the plane could perform decently with underpowered AL-31 engines, imagine what it could do with WS-15.

It would be funny if Chinese also can do vertical landing

The maneuver performed are just simple rolls to change the angle..... most probably used in airshows and to land the plane in constrained environments quickly without taking a long loop....... the performance of the plane with that half roll.... has to be attributed to those large pair of canard fore planes which makes its turning radius smaller and eye pleasing.... however it has little or NO significance to air combats in all aspects..... the best such rolls could do is to make the plane land quickly and get applause from the audience in some air shows..... the real performance worthwhile for air combat could be only seen with a larger engine with higher thrust levels.... enabling maneuvers at near supersonic speeds.

Do we have some circus going on in Chengdu ??

It will take china year to do that even America haven't induct it vertical landing F-35B just the prototype tested so far i know .

Nice videos, good to see all the 3 major fighters jets in action, hope they all get inducted.

The video shows the take off speed of all the jets and gives us a pretty good idea of their landing and take off characteristic.


One thing which is bothering me and wanna clarify from the Chinese members, that J-20 when took off, the after burner stage was showing blue flame, while the J-10B when taking off had red flame. Since the J-20had those silver color engine nozzles, suggesting they are the Chinese variant of WS-10 series engine, while J-1-B also had the WS-10A engine most probably. So if both engines are of WS-10 series, then why different colored flames at the after burning stage, plus why the difference between the engine nozzles of the same engine with just being different variants.

Or is the J-20 in picture flying with Russian AL series of engine ?? Since the blue flame at the time of afterburner is seen in AL-series engines and the nozzle also is very much similar to the AL-series engine.

Clarification plzzzz. Thanks
