I seriously love this J-20 discussion group. Everyone's so fun and intelligent to chat with, and hear opinions from.

The DSI speed limit is`nt a matter of bashing the J-20 is a matter of physics, pressure recovery loses always drop thrust yield on the engine, in few words more pressure loses on a duct less thrust, and at high speeds ingesting pressure socks is equivalent to trying to lit a match in a hurricane.
If the engine is lucky it will only get damaged.
That has never been bashing, that is pure fact of physics

Keep on fantasizing. A diverterless inlet can be made to operate at hypersonic range if needed. There is no magic speed limit at Mach 2.0 for diverterless inlet system.

please more ... but without that nasty stamp on it
I think it's safe to say at this point only 4 will be carried which is dissappointing. I think the designers/engineers could've easily added another one to make it 5 but they decided to stay even at 4.
IMO the quetion was not if five would have been possible, but if 4 or 6 were a reasonable or usefull load. 5 would have meant that the center bulkhead - and as such a different bay design would have been required - has to be deleted.
Anyway I still hope that this is only the load of this AAM and maybe for a type with smaller span or clipped fins 6 could be fitted.

Exactly... I was thinking even during the design phase of the plane where they already knew the dimensions of the missile bay and could've easily fit 5 in there by using a bay that doesn't have the centerline bulkhead like the F-22.
The J-20 is a much bigger airplane than the 22 and for it to carry 30% less missiles is almost unforgiveable.
according to huitong, max. range for PL-12 around 60-70km range,but the AAM seen in internal bay much bigger rocket motor,this gave her 100km plus range.
giving J-20 's AESA radar very long range detection,PLAAF figure out they needed something better than PL-12.particular with much longer range,that correspond with J-20 's AESA radar very long range detection.

Even though they seem narrower, there appears to be a fair bit of depth in the bays. Should be useful for larger A/G loads. F-22 bay is relatively thin. , , , .
