STFU and learn Chinese...
Okay okay I am just joking.
1. During its previous outings in Zhuhai, the J-20 never landed in Zhuhai. This time it has and you can see some previously unseen details. In the future maybe even military fans could sit in the cockpit.
2. When the J-20 was first revealed a lot of foreign media "experts" claimed that it was reverse engineered. As time went on, it became apparent that the J-20's aerodynamic configuration is unique. No other aircraft uses canard-LERX liftbody configuration. Later on "experts" claimed that canards have sharp points and are bad for stealth. This assertion is directly contradicted by our testing results. The J-20 has excellent RCS reduction characteristics.
3. The J-20 has great high speed performance, long range, high service ceiling, and excellent maneuverability. It could facedown the most advanced fighter aircraft of today. The design philosophy is very innovative since it utilizes distributed sensors for information gathering and localized information storage that is processed by a centralized processor. Other aircraft are using similar design philosophy nowadays.
4. China has its own philosophy for coordinating manned/unmanned aerial assets. There is heavy emphasis on informationalization as well as the platform performance of the loyal wingman since it needs to keep up with the J-20.
Nice looking well trained female pilot! Why the uniform not blue colour; maybe from the Army?
Yes, all very good but when is WS15 coming!?
What real advantages will WS15 bring if future combat is dominated by drones?
Supercruise, improved maneuverability via TVC and maybe increased stealthiness with new nozzles.
A few more...
