J-20 5th Gen Fighter Thread IV (Closed to posting)

I'm not all that sure that the missile is a PL12. It feels A little too thick, and it is an awfully snug fit in that weapons bay, at least at the front, and I would have expected more clearance for next generation missiles if that was a PL12.

[then] F/A-22 has started with six AIM-120C from the beginning
literally, AIM-120C was born for that purpose

Right, but before that people assumed it would be loaded with the AIM-120B, which the F-22 could only fit 4. Anyways, the broader point is that the the load out will change as the missile technology gets refined.

Just saw this at AFM:

If accurate, looks like the bays are narrower but deeper and longer than the F-22, but not as deep and long as the T-50.

Here are some AIM-120 dimensions including fin span -

Length 3.85m, Wingspan 67cm, Finspan ???

Maybe it's the PL-13 or PL-15.

I wonder if the factory shots were unauthorized leaks. I downloaded the pics and soon after the thread was deleted. Over at CJDB and FYJ they've been deleting threads not locking them. Then new threads show up and they delete those. In the shot with the lone J-10B... I wonder what's on the other side of that wall. You can see it looks like a whole other floor behind there.

look at this, crews loading a dummy missile.

How about the dummy J-20 for the dummy missile?

Just got dumb and dumber

 

[SteelBird]

I moved back a few pages but the photos of J-20 open its weapon bay are all blur out! Does anyone have the original photo of this?

 

[Blitzo]

Not yet. They're blurred out on purpose and it'll probably take a few days for the original to surface

Some random model means nothing, and things said over at the butthurt forum means even less.

Here is a model of a J20 at an actual defence show with 6 missiles in the main bay, I leave it to everyone to decide for themselves which model is more credible.

[Blitzo]

Both are inaccurate towards te details and any validity could be dismissed IMHO.

And the defence show I think could be a display at a model/hobby shop

 

[Equation]

I think it's six missiles. Look at the pic again and one can see how close and tight that first missile is loaded and nearly touch the wall of the inside bay.
