November.09 (China Military News Reporting by Johanthan Weng) — Ho Weirong, the deputy commander of PLA Air Force, says China’s 5th Generation fighter will enter service in next 8-10 years, when he attended a TV interview program on 8th November, just before the 60th anniversary of PLA Air Force.

The interview TV program, “Face to Face”, is run by CCTV, which is the largest state-run Television station in China. During the interview, the interviewer asking Deputy Commander Ho when China can have its 5th generation fighter, Ho says the R&D of 5th generation fighter is being intensely made. And according to some resources, he also discloses that the first trial flight is coming later and then the 5th generation fighter will enter into test flight phase.

He tells the interviewer that under the estimation of present R&D progress the Chinese 5th generation fighter will be delivered to PLA Air Force and enter service in next 8-10 years (before 2010).

November 11 is the 60th anniversary of the Chinese Air Force. 8 evening broadcast on CCTV’s news channel, “Face to Face” program, the Chinese take pride in what the Air Force deputy commander said the fourth-generation Chinese-made fighter jets are in a busy development process, the upcoming first flight. Immediately after the first flight into the flight test phase, according to the present situation, made four generations of fighter aircraft in the 8 to 10 years immediately after the armed forces.

The 5th generation fighter aircraft is usually referred to US-made F-22 “Raptor” and F-35, which have “4S” abilities- stealth, supersonic cruise, super maneuverability and short take-off. The 5th generation fighters have overwhelming technological advantages to 3th or 4th generation fighters. Currently, F-22 is the only in-service 5th generation fighter, F-35, Russian’s T-50 are in the process of development. Chinese 5th generation fighter is the fourth one which is admitted to enter into the actual development process.

Ho deputy commander also says that China-made third-generation fighter J-10’s performance is equivalent to F-16 fighter. He points that J-10’s max weapon load is up to 6 tons, having 11 pylons and its shortest take-off distance is only 350 meters.

It is said that No.611 Institute of CAC (Chengdu Aircraft Corporation) became the winner in the 5th generation fighter competition with No.601 Institute of SAC (Shenyang Aircraft Corporation). Mr. Yang Wei, the chief designer of J-10 fighter, has been promoted to a higher position in AVIC and can deploy more company resources to support the R&D of CAC.

Exactly, infromations gathered from Internet just prove one thing that China don’t want to copy F-22 under the technological gap with U.S. China’s fifth generation fighter may have one or two advantages to fetch up the suprem 4S charactors of F-22. Depending on information revolution and interior lines combat situation, China thinks it can challenge the superiority of American Air Force.

Thus, Sino-US power will be a little bit more balanced. The peace between US and China will be a little bit more sustainable. We, the peace-loving people of US and China, welcome the news.

It will help to quench Taiwan separatist maniac. It will help to attenuate some India warlords’ fever. It will put China on more favorable position on military trade bargain table…

I think it is good news to regional tranquility and world peace.

If you seriously think that the Commander was not joking in front of the camera that the fighter would enter service btw 2017 to 2019, if you further think that PLA will never tell the exact service timing of any of its key weaponaries well in advance to the world, then there are 2 things would most likely to be true :

1. The initial flight of the next gen fihgter has already been conducted long time ago, and

2. The real timing that 4th gen fighters entering service would be 2014-2016 ( conservatively 2- 3 years ahead. e.g. J10' s case)

2014 to 2016 , instead of 2017-2019 !

Therefore, it is a very good news!
 
.
All I can say is If chinese can stand on their word and build a 4th gen stealth featured plane ready to induct by 2018 -19-20 .

I'm sure It would be cheaply priced and who knows WE might use walmart to get the break down kits of em and assemble over here.

naaaa just joking!!:cheesy:

Good ambitions though, as always high spirits and immaculate self belief of chinese are truly commendable.
