China Flanker Thread II

Here You are ....

... besides that if this is really the J-16, then it has (IMO) nothing in common with the Flanker
(so again, should we move this to a new tread ?)

Danke!

The photo is what I expected,
it is a partial rehash of a design they came up in 90s, ("model 93"?).
Not the tri-plane design they put in for the 5th Gen Fighter competition.

601 don't have any thing new.

The intake should be caret. and they have conventional lay out horizontal elevator,

think a downsized F-22 with leading edge root extensions.

or a re-stealthrized Super Hornet.

Self funded by AVIC,

trying to PLAAF to buy it but they ain't biting.

try to convince PLAN as a J-15 replacement. not biting yet.

PLAAF is going for a J-20/J-10X solution.

Although Pupu is pretty trustworthy let's wait a while first. The JH-7B incident is still fresh on my mind.

remember that picture with two windtunnel models side by side and a bunch of chinese guys were looking at it?
early version of J-20's head was sticking out?

this was a rehash of the one that was on the right beside the J-20..

You mean this one ??

Besides that, can we be sure that the photo is a recent one ???

Yeha it is a rehash of this design. I think.

These were posted over at FY. Not sure but I think I've seen the model before. The artist's rendition has been around.

 

[Blitzo]

I believe the model is a wind tunnel model of the ATD-X

You know what if SAC develops an ATD-X type aircraft before the japanese?
