[broadsword]

I see it as "1" rather than "2".

I see it as "1" rather than "2".

Yes, me too, but both '731' and '732' are GX-6 prototypes ... so either someone psed that very much already blurred image of this KJ-500 or its a mystery until we get better images. Could it be that the "3" in the middle is in fact a "5" ???

Nice ... but as far as I remember they are older (from around mid to late September) ... however these images found at the Meyet.com-Forum was new to me !

Does anyone have a paid subscription to Aviation Week? There's a story on the J-20 and would like to know if there's anything interesting.

 

[Deino]

New ???

Anyway nice ... and now let's go and find Your way to Zhuhai too.

The title "J-20 stealth fighter balances speed and agility" is enough to hook my interest.
There's also an article on Zhuhai as well.

Both are dated for November 3rd, which is strange.

As F-35 for the moment prototypes don' t get vectored thrust unlike F-22 and T-50 could remain as ?

Have a big nose for accept a very powerful radar with 1500 modules as APG-77, N036 Byelka or others ?

While digging around for that new Sweetman article found this.

Seems like they're still going along with the idea that the J-20 is a big tanker killer.

EDIT: And Sweetman seems to have a startling lack of knowledge on China's engine programs.

EDIT2: I'm going to wait a few days for someone with an Aviation Week subscription to post the article. If no one does it I'll take one for the team and purchase a subscription. BUT if anyone's in the Bay Area you're all treating me to an expensive dinner.
