Schumacher, do you have another link for those videos? They are not loading up. Could be the hosting website is very busy.

On another note, anyone hear about the stealth black hawk rotor that was left around Bin Laden's compound? Apparently its got a silver loaded finish meant to suppress IR signatures...do I smell a correlation with those shiny engine fairings on the J-20?

On the contrary, though I think China's design and development speed has been nothing short of remarkable, there is no substitute for time when it comes to the testing phase, especially since there are so many new technologies on this plane. Because of that I think >6 years is actually quite reasonable.

Various big shrimps on Chinese BBS said that PLAAF wants the aircraft to be inducted by 2016. If it's true, flight tests would have to be completed before then.
