how did you get 60-80 per year ? please share!
Aw man…
Source : he just made it the fuck up.
I don't have a source for sure.
But I heard that there are two production lines by now and the third one is under construction and will start manufacture soon.
Each production line can deliver 12-15 J-20s every year and would be accelerated to a 15-18 vessels per year capability.
With all CAC's J-10 production lines transfered to Guizhou, we can expect that at least one more J-20 production line to be installed and put into production.
Then there will be a total capability of 60-72 J-20s per year and it's reasonable to assume that the annual output can be increased to 20 vessels per production line every year.
What the f are you talking about?
Lockheed Martin delivered about 140 F-35s both in 2020 and 2021 and announced to have a peak output of 180 in FY 2023 and 2024.
Why do you think CAC is unable to have four J-20 production lines, or each production line is unable to produce 20 J-20s per year?
Or do you simply disagree that the whole China aviation industry can reach 40% of Lockheed Martin's production capacity?

Thanks. So you reckon there will be 4 production lines for J-20 soon?
Do you think the limiting factor for producing J-20 is the production lines? how about engine and avionic & radar ?
No I don't. I don't have any source.
But even with 3 assemble lines CAC could produce up to 54 J-20s per year. And it's clear that CAC is transferring its J-10 production lines to GAIC.
How could it happen if CAC is not going to focus on the production of J-20? Obviously they are making space for more J-20 assemble lines. May be one or even more.
For engines and avionics and electronics, things are the same. Productivity is just limited by funding and budget, not anything else.
It looks like the engine I’ve posted before. There is a good chance that this is WS-15.
