How accurate is Donald Canton on Quora? He said J20 is the most stealthiest jet in the world.
"The J-20 uses micro-metal structure stealth materials. This is a meta-material technology that is ahead of the US military's F35. This means that the J-20's stealth performance is the best in the world. When the J-20 patrolled the Chinese island of Taiwan and intercepted American fighter jets in the East China Sea, the J-20 was not detected by U.S. radars. Even when the U.S. fighter pilots could visually see the J-20, the radar of the U.S. early warning aircraft did not show the J-20, which was sufficient. It illustrates the stealth performance of the J-20.
According to U.S. Pacific Air Forces Commander Kenneth Wilsbach, the F-35 had a close encounter with China's J-20 stealth fighter jet in the East China Sea and found that the U.S. early warning radar could not see the J-20.
The J-20 has a higher radar cross-section (RCS) than the F-35. The J-20 has a triangular design and wide frame, which increases its RCS. However, the J-20 is equipped with radar-absorbing material and electronic countermeasures to reduce the likelihood of detection.
Those aren’t the Chinese claims but the American authority confessions.
The canards of the J-20 are not ordinary canards, but China’s original lifting body side-strip canard layout. In addition to the medium and low-altitude maneuverability of modern advanced fighter jets, fighter jets must also have supersonic cruise capabilities, as well as unconventional maneuverability capabilities such as over-stall speeds. Its aerodynamic layout must, on the premise of meeting the shape stealth constraints, reduce its supersonic drag as much as possible, improve the maximum lift characteristics and stability and controllability at large angles of attack, and take into account the sub-transonic lift-drag characteristics. There is some favorable coupling between the canards, front strakes and wings. The lift body layout of the wing-body fusion can use the fuselage to generate lift, increase internal volume and improve stealth characteristics at a small cost of drag.
The lifting body side-wing canard layout, excellent stealth structure and world-leading stealth materials are also important reasons why the J-20's stealth technology is unrivaled in the world.
In addition to stealth technology, China also leads the world in anti-stealth technology. The fourth-generation meter-wave anti-stealth radar technology is a global original. The reason why China is known as the only country with advanced anti-stealth meter-wave radar is that it can use a set of antennas to solve the problem of traditional meter-wave radar being unable to measure altitude and achieve precise three-coordinate positioning and tracking. Not only is it capable of detection, it is also capable of guiding fighter aircraft to intercept and even directly support fire control attacks."
