J-20 5th Gen Fighter Thread VIII

[Gloire_bb]

Right, interception and air superiority are still separate concepts and missions. The only difference these days is that both missions are performed by the same fighters, due to various technological advances.

Well, they always were.

Just a matter of degree of compromise and purpose.

Seems to be high AOA for landing approach…

Doubtful that the aircraft would stay that low post-takeoff though. Also no signs of the aircraft retracting the landing gears either.

In a former lecture, Yang Wei (J-20's Chief Designer) said, J-20 is not going to equip TVC engines. It's designed for OODA 2.0 instead of OODA 1.0, no need to pursue dogfight capabilities.

Here's the lecture. (From 20:12)

Also at 32:42, Yang said, J-20 is less stealth than F-22 (with 2D TVC) from the rear, due to design trade-off. Our engines are weaker than American's, so we need trade-off from the very beginning.

At 34:51, he said, only US and China have directional data link tech.

(38:02) He said, US is an expert in making concepts. Observers need to work hard to remember lots of concepts. To describe one type of drones, US made CCA, Loyal Wingman, MUM-T...

Why does this thing look like it has rounded fuselage edges on the belly?
