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

[Air Force Brat]

This is a poor substitute I know, Deino, but perhaps this will sooth your craving soul for a moment.

Anyhow, for comparison purposes, I love this pic of the F-35.

Hehehe...and this is no PS.

Slats deployed, vapor streaming off the IN-board leading edges, a great photo, external rear-ward facing camera???? He is pulling a few Gs, probably flying wing on PHOTO bird, NOTHING on earth like good air-to-air work to bring on the smiles... I'd love to see Deino get the opportunity to snap a few of these, or any of you guys. So PLAAF??? Chengdu,,, she's too pretty to keep to yourself, I can't wait to see that anhedral on the main wings coming at us, love that, and it will look good on that aft-mounted delta, with the slats deployed... yee-hah!

I suspect you will sing a different song if we ever get some "airwork" in, I would also request that someone talented "bring up" some of those excellent videos of 2001 and 2002, in order to prevent Deino from having any cardiac events when 2011 lifts off, might just be a shock to our systems if we go right to 2011.... brat


Those aileron rolls were nice...no???

I'm hoping that it will fly before Chinese New Year...a great gift for CNY

Besides that if this is the arrival of high-ranking PLAAF staff at CAC ... so could it be that 2011 will fly today ????

Maybe not today, but soon. The post says that senior officials have been flying in for the past few days.

Is it green in Chengdu this time of the year?

 

[chuck731]

IMHO both birds look the best at this angle

Agree neither bird is easy on the eyes from most other angles.

 

[chuck731]

Is it green in Chengdu this time of the year?

It seems to me the differences between 2011 and 2001 (nose gear door, leading edge of air intake, and the last 2 digit of 2011) are sharper in the image than the other parts of the plane. This suggests to me they were photoshopped into an image of 2001 or 2002.

 

[chuck731]

Can anybody confirm if the new paint scheme for the J-20 is similar to the production one?

How would it be possible to do so unless someone has seen a production J-20?

 

[chuck731]

Like you, I'm dying to see 2011 take to the air SOON, but have any of you got any news on the smaller "navalised" version of the J-20?

I recall seeing some discussion a while back about, but it seems to have died off completely. Any updates?

I note that Shenyang is trying to get J-31 up and flying again, but surely the Chengdu isn't going to give up an order for +100 new build naval fighters without a competitive tender once the carrier build gathers pace over the coming years...

If it is actually smaller, then it's manufacture must involve an entirely different set of tooling than the original j-20, in this case it would hardly still be a j-20.
