J-20 5th Gen Fighter Thread VIII

[taxiya]

Now this picture looked even more photoshopped. Look at the bubble-like artifacts in the bottom half of the picture and the uneven whitish edges of the J-20 that were not seen in the previous picture.

They are result of low bit rate in video, high compression ratio in photo, and low bit depths of the image, not necessarily result of photoshopping.

For example, if the bit depths of the image file is 2, the possible values are 0, 1, 2, 3. However let's say human eyes can detect difference of 10 bits (0 to 1023). So a image file with bit depths of 2 will translate all values from 0 to 255 to 0, 256 to 511 to 1 etc. So you will see the abruptive color changes (the bubble-like artifacts).

My gripe is really how the artifacts seems to have a pattern to it and not how it came about. (Artifacts could be compression related or the "Spray" was used?)

The artifacts went around the bottom of J-20 in a semi-circle but it ran randomly across the picture at the top and bottom of the frame.

Could also be artifacts around atmospheric mirage effect.

As promised and with many thanks to @stedur93, @TheAviationist and especially the anonymous photographer who gave me the privilege for an earlier glimpse to these magnificent images and indeed, this J-20 no. 70081 is the fist public image of a J-20 from the 97th Air Brigade at Dazu air base.

Still old engines?

The J-20 demonstrated that China is beginning to bridge the technological chasm with the United States because of its ongoing intellectual property theft.

This garbage shouldn't be posted here.

So why did you post it then? … I only gave credit to the source!

Claiming the J-20 is a "stolen" design from the US is more than a stretch. It looks nothing like either the F-22 or F-35. Do either of the US aircraft use canards? Some people also claim it is "stolen" from the MiG 1.44. But the MiG had the engines below the fuselage. And both aircraft aren't that similar either unless you look at them from the top and squint. The front and sides are totally different.
It is just its own unique design.

The F-15 has twin tails and side slung engines with variable intake ramps. Is it a "stolen" MiG-25?

I agree with him and as such with @ZeEa5KPul too, these comments are plain stupid and represent a still huge - sometimes I have the feeling even growing - community in the West and especially the US that cannot accept the fact that China is progressing fast and as such - blinded by political bias and prejudice - anything new must be either of low-quality or stolen and copied! As if the West's superiority is something like given from god or a law of nature! Simply stupid and in fact a pity.
