J-20 5th Gen Fighter Thread VI

[Xizor]

Any remarks about the exact internal fuel capacity of the J-20 ? What about its external fuel tanks ( since it is confirmed that it can carry 4 of them) ? Does the J-20 encorporate a pylon+fuel tank drop capability like the F-22 to preserve stealth. (Does it actually preserve stealth,if the pylon is dropped away along with the external fuel tank it holds?)

PL -15???

 

[Deino]

Yes... but why us this a question since we haven't seen any other AAM in these bays

 

[gelgoog]

The fact they are blue also implies those are training missiles instead of the real thing AFAIK.

Yes, but would anyone expect live missiles during an international airshow?

 

[gelgoog]

Sure. It's just that I can't remember any photos of them carrying the real thing. Then again this is a leading edge weapon so they probably try to hide its operations record a bit.

Fifth generation fighters have the option to keep their bays closed! It will be very hard for PLA watchers to get a photo of a J-20 carrying the real thing unless PLAAF wants them too.

From people daily
Chinese scientists have found a material that can hide a hot object from heat-sensing infrared cameras, according to Suzhou Institute of Nano-tech and Nano-bionics, which could be useful for military and technology applications as well as for research.
