Is this J-20 test body a new one in the 2017/7/7 GoogleEarth image? Are they making changes of the airframe so a new round of RCS test is required?

Interesting J-20 composition by Henri K ...
J-20 - Titane 20% - Composite 29%
Translated from French by
J-20
- titanium 20%
- composite 29%
How does this compare with other 5th generation fighters?Chinese materials expert Chao Chunxiao claims that the 20% and 29% of J-20's weight consists of titanium alloy and composites, respectively.
F-16 and MP.net are American chest-thumping forums and full of USAF fanbois. They post rubbish about European fighters, let alone Chinese or Russian ones. IMO, you'll be better off reading National Interest or David Axe than going on those forums.There is zero to be learned about Chinese aircraft there, or indeed any component or design used by Chinese aircraft that originates from Russia...due to the extremely xenophobic nature of the posters there. Any and all things Chinese or Russian are mocked and denigrated there as rubbish junk.
Who cares in the context of this CHINESE related forum ( I assume you are aware of the subject matter of this site) what past posters did on an F-16 previously at that toxic site? We are here to talk about CHINESE aircraft.
Why is that so hard for you to figure out?
Any information posted on that site regarding Chinese or Russian aircraft is basically rubbish that only serves to denigrate or put down. That is not "pro US nationalistic" as you have tried to explain it away..but deeply xenophobic with a racial tinge. It is infamous and notorious across the web for that for a good reason...and deservedly so.
If you are unable to see that..you need serious help.
Enough on the off topic or defending the indefensible already. This is about the Chinese J-20.
There are a lot of fanbois everywhere. The world would be better off if they were all banned from the internet.How does this compare with other 5th generation fighters?

I find it hilarious that you somehow can't find anything of value from f-16 forum, when actual pilots (Gums) and former F-16 engineers (johnwill) and F100 engineers (TEG) post there. Are there strong pro-US nationalistic sentiment there? Sure. But if you are somehow unable to parse and filter useful insights and dismiss everything on there as xenophobic then it's your own problem.

Apparently it cost them 200,000 Yuan and 14 months to build. Truly dedicated if enthusiasts if you ask meGee, Home Made J-20!
