Nobody's still interested in the bluish after-burn any more? Or has everybody here taken it that the whole visible flame thing is faked, as I said?

Anyway, my story this time is: As I heard it, there are altogether seven J-20 prototype aircraft at this time, undergoing different sets of tests simultaneously. This is, of course, to shorten the test period. And we're looking at no later than 2006 when the J-20 is to be inducted.

J-20 could time travel now?

Haha... Yeah, I meant 2016... actually they are saying 2015 will be the year the J-20 gets inducted. I was being cautious in quoting the earlier rumored date of induction...

And no, I have absolutely no official evidence to back up whatever I overheard. So it's your choice to buy it or not. I personally believe what I heard.

J-20 looks bigger then the F-22 and PAK FA.. It will have room for a bigger radar, payload, and range.. I think it is more lethal then the F-22 or PAK FA. I was never a big believer in stealth, or F-22 capabilities.

And we hope the rest of the world have your attitude.

AVIC doing ASICs

Taiwan-based DRAM maker ProMOS Technologies on May 23 announced the sale of ProMOS (Chongqing) Technologies, its wholly owned subsidiary semiconductor maker located in Xiyoung Micro-electronics Industrial Park in Chingqing, western China, including the equipment of a 8-inch fab, to AVIC Systems, a subsidiary of China's state-owned enterprise Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), at a preliminary price of CNY100 million.

The sales transaction covers the subsidiary and its corporate assets and liabilities except the land and buildings of the 8-inch fab owned by the Chongqing City Government.

While ProMOS has cumulatively invested US$132 million in the subsidiary, the latter had incurred a total net loss of NT$3.833 billion (US$116 million) in 2008-2010. The subsidiary currently produces power management ICs using 8,000-10,000 8-inch wafers a month, far below 20,000-30,000 wafers necessary to reach break-even operation.

While the sales price is thought to be too low, the deal means that ProMOS has solve a thorny problem, at least avoiding continued losses from the subsidiary, according to industry sources in Taiwan.

AVIC Systems will use the fab to produce ICs for own use, ProMOS indicated.
