J-20 5th Gen Fighter Thread VI

[tony0989]

A more accurate translation would be long range combat.

What he said reminded me of one F-22 aviator who told his interviewer that there are lot of capabilities with the plane that he couldn't show at an airshow.

IMO, he emphasized long range

AFAIK China's explosives technology and manufacturing capabilities are actually more advanced than the USA's. Where China might lack is in the technology for the binder agents.

6 nitro groups, looks super explosive and interesting

And if you look closely on another similar clear shot you can (probably) even read the construction number: J-20A cn. CB0018 ... could be the 18th J-20A build of this batch!?

Yes, beautiful detail of the "det-cord" lining the canopy, and the meta-material coating the inlets, very, slik indeed, I wish we had one of the whole airplane with that much detail, and we probably do, we've received some amazing photo's this past week..

and if you love airshows and the J-20, well this has been "your week", beautiful, wish the US was launching a new twin engine large stealthy fighter!

I trust you are referring to the main bays. As yet there is no evidence of that.

 

[SpicySichuan]

Too jealous, so just cover my eyes and clean my bomb bays!

and here you are 180 degrees out of phase with the real world of aerodynamics, canards are always making positive lift, (a good thing), and in the process making drag! (a bad thing), so the canards are inherently more "draggy" than the tail feathers. Now while the canards are making more lift, they are in "clean air" and are likely more effective per size and moment arm than tail feathers which reside in "dirty air"?

you correctly assert that the main wing is able to "mask" the tailplanes, while the canards are standing out front.... (they may "mask" a portion of the main wing head on, but at more oblique angles, not so much), they will likely raise RCS from the frontal and possibly side angle.

the J-20 does not have "all moving" tailfins, the F-22 does have all flying stabilators, which are also used to roll the aircraft

in the end, its six of one, half a dozen of the other, both arrangements have strengths and weaknesses.

The J-20 has all-moving tailfins; check the deflection on them. It has a tailfin whose body can be swung around by a pivot on the body of the aircraft. The F-35 and F-22, in contrast, have rudders on their tailfins.

If you look at the FB-22 concept, it's possible to mod the F-22 to lack tailfins as well, but the big problem is trade-offs. You lose part of the control authority and you become more dependent on the TVC to maneuver the aircraft than if you had tailfins with true rudders. If the TVC somehow fails, you're in big trouble.

With the J-20, however, because of the canard configuration, it's easier for the aircraft to discard the tailfins because you already have the canards capable of performing some, but not all, of the function of the tailfins, and likely can return home in one piece if your TVC somehow jams.
