Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

[Deino]

Well， I quoted the original words

Be patient. There are lots of work to do before rolling out

YES, but first of all I'm not really a patient man ... and second I'm a bit surprised or even worried why after even four aircraft in 2014 since the last aircraft '2015' now more than 8 months.

Is there anything known why this long 'gap' ?? I remember some reports abaout a landing mishap earlier this year related to PIO - similar to the F-22 & Gripen - that may explain the "non-appearance" of new aircraft. Are they waiting for new systems or will the next birds feature additional changes after '2015' ??

Don't worry.

I have it on authorative sources: "no" news is good news.

Thanks ... however can You explain this "gap" in non-appearing of new prototypes. Even if everything's fine ... there must be a reasonable explanation why they managed to fly 4 aircraft alone in 2014 and until now in 2015 no new aircrfat - at least - appeared ?

I wish with improving economy we get few squardons of j20 and then j31 to counter 7 times big country like India.

I guess and I hope there would be a small batch come out together

 

[Kompromat]

China won't export them, not even to Pakistan.

Thank You !

Where the Duck has this bird gone ?
Just disappeared ... No news anymore at all.

Chengdu J-20 has look-down shoot-down air dominance

The maximum altitude is very important. An air-to-air missile fired from a higher-flying plane can travel a lot further and faster with the help of gravity.

J-20: 65,620 feet [1]
J-31: 65,000 feet [2]
F-22: 60,000 feet [3]
F-35: 50,000 feet
