That's just called eyeballing the aerodynamics, which we can't do without reliably knowing the thrust rating or the aircraft's weight.

We have had rumours of course of those figures, but nothing I consider to be sufficiently concrete that would make me confident enough to argue to a neutral audience that "J-20 can supercruise with WS-10Cs".


The preceding discussion therefore was specifically about the veracity of the rumours we've had for those numbers in the past.
Both aerodynamics and dry trust have a lot to do with super cruising. We could take aircraft with horrible trust to weight ratio for example like the Concorde or F-106 that were supercruising. We don't know for sure for J-20 but it's quite possible that it's able to achieve it if his aerodynamics are not to draggy.

Hi shi fus, saw someone posted this on reddit. Do we know of if this is legit? It's about the encounter between J-20s and F-35s few years back

Oh my this thing. Reading that Reddit hellhole of a comment section gave me an aneurysm.

The original 'document' was about J-16s and F-35s, but some a-hole censored it and paraded it around as evidence against the J-20. I think he's either that 艾布拉姆斯 dude on Twitter or some other obscure runt.

Thanks guys. Since I am late to this, is it safe to assume that the report is fake?
The credibility of the original document is quite dubious. Typos, unconventional/awkward wording etc.

The entire r/lazerpig is a mess. There's a post that

on the Chinese MIC because of the stupid Jade White Emperor mockup, and because China exporting weapons at a low cost must mean they don't work.
I would take anything associated with lazerpig with a large mound of salt. Enough to cure the pig to ham.
Oh I dealt with him and his minions briefly on Twitter. My God they sure are... something.
