J-20 5th Gen Fighter Thread V

Two explanations:-

1. This is a fake psed photo.

2. The second explanation is camera effect. Those of you who have played around with high power telephoto lens >1,000 mm may be familiar with this. Objects at different distance will come close to each other and the differences in object size will be minimised. (example: those clear photo of overly large size of Moon in the sky)

As Deino said it could be CFTE, where photo taking is prohibited at all levels, so the only way to take photo is through high power telephoto lens.

"2015" could be just right behind the other J20, thus its outline could be hidden, that is if the overlaying "2015" as illustrated by Hyperwarp is shrank by a few more percent.

I tend to believe it is a real photo. Just a personal opinion.

The edit time limit is too short. Here to continue showing the effect of camera lens of different focus lengths. The photo shows only 18mm to 55mm. Notice the size of the blue bottle? Imagine if the focus lens extends beyond 1,000mm.

With the use of high power telephoto lens, far away objects, that are relatively close to each other with respect to the distance from the camera, will appear to be very close to their original size. Assuming the size of the 2 J-20s in the picture are equal because of the use of the telephoto lens, the J-20 in the foreground should still be blocking the J-20 in the background.

except the possibility that the one in the foreground as you said is actually in the background.

Well, you somehow just know which J-20 is in front but it's more difficult to explain it.

Let me try. The evidences that show one of the J-20 is in the foreground.
1. The J-10 tail and the J-20 cockpit behind it are both in the brighter area showing that they are in about the same area.
2. The other J-20 canopy is still a bit smaller than the previously mentioned J-20 and is in the darker area of the airfield, showing that it is in the background.
The third reason has to do with the 2 J-20s' different fields of view but its a bit too technical to explain.

We have actually seen many photos that showed somehow the aircraft in the foreground looked smaller than the one in the background. Here is one that showed a J-20 in foreground looked smaller than a J-10 in back ground. Quite interesting, is it not?



And another one, check the lower photo

The bubble canopy appears more elevated or voluminous to my eyes. The photo also nicely shows off the substantial HUD. Note the object mounted above the HUD. I wonder what that could be. A camera maybe?

One possibility is one of the aircraft image could be superimposed onto the picture of the other aircraft. It could be very difficult to tell if images of the 2 aircraft are taken from the same shots that was taken at the same time and location.

The other possibility, which I think is not likely, has to do with the wide angle lens distorting the size of the aircraft that is at the edge of the field of view.

Coming back to this image. Even if we simply swap the positions of the 2 J-20s, we should still see the upper edge of the body of the J-20 that is behind. i.e. the part of the J-20 body that is between the drawn red line and the J-20 canopy/stabilizer that are now assumed to be in front.

... and finally it allows a nice comparison of the J-20 engine in full reheat - and we have only few of them - with WS-10B and AL-31F in a similar position ...

Do we know what AL-31 variant is used on the J-20?
