I told you it would go flying by Chinese new year.

 

[cirr]

Bring out 2102 now！

 

[Deino]

Two more ...

I know there are few out there who still hope and even insist that the J-20 is powered by the WS-10 or even a secret WS-1X .... at least for me the issue is long clear and here another proof !

Would love to see this beauty flying in PLAAF colors after production.

However, Sir, the AL-31 FN has both configuration like with and without TVC? or it is just straight without TVC?
Regards,

What about no pink canopy on this one?

So far the FN is not available - at least operational - with TVC ... as such I don't think the J-20 uses it.

Regarding the canopy I don't know what You mean with "pink" ... IMO it is more "golden" and since 2017 clearly has that one, I'm also sure that 2101 has it too; we only have so far no decent close-ups.

A few more clear images of 2101's engine nozzles.

 

[j20blackdragon]

The #2016 black nozzles...

do not look like the #2101 nozzles.

In fact, the #2101 nozzles look like AL-31FM1 to me. I'm not saying they are. I'm saying that's what it looks like.

Also we now have a fairly clear shot of the silver #2017 nozzles. These are NOT AL-31FN. Just look at the nozzle petal shape and arrangement. They are different.

The mystery deepens.

 

[Deino]

No ... that is simply an AL-31FN or a special version and I don not understand why all technical identical details are ignored and the colour alone is the one and only "thing" to say it is not an AL-31 ???

This colour - either black, charcoal or silverfish - is simply a different coating in order to reduce IR- or radar issues.

I would bet my membership here ... I will resign as a mod and even as a poster here !

But anyway ... we are all old enough to believe what we want to believe.

According to the one who posted all that #2101 HD pictures, he said he didn't see #2102 but he heard other spotters said that there are 2 others yellow birds in the hangar.

我现场没有看到过2102.但是据爬墙卧草党说，窝里有另外两架黄皮叫花鸡，说不定哪天就给你来个惊喜。
