I can get a cardboard model of a vacuum cleaner do the loop de loop if I have sufficient power.
How much more difficulty would your model have compared to the J-20 model? How much more power would it need? The point that it's easier for a J-20 model to do these manoeuvres than an F-22 model and that this has some bearing on the performance of the actual planes is not unreasonable. It shouldn't be a controversial point here given what we know about why the J-20 is designed the way it is.

By the way, I'd like to see planes without thrust vectoring do a similar near-stall, high AoA manoeuvre.

They are mixing WS-10 and AL-31 equipped J-20 at Dingxin.

Chen Jr. again. I think CCTV always films him he cause he's the son of the Air Marshal. Expect this guy to be the PLAAF's top brass within 20 years, if nothing bad happens.

I have not seen this type of maneuver before.

The second part of the video.


Upon looking at the video more closely I think we might have our first example of differential deflection of the canards. It seems one canard deflects to initiate the roll, and as the roll completes both canards are deflected to 0 degrees alpha in order to maintain controllability while the plane’s nose is pointed to some absurd angle of attack (might be as high as 60).
