Wet dream is more like it. Speculation is extrapolation based on facts. His statement about WS-10A is pure delusion, considering WS-10As are already flying with J-11B and prototype of J-10B.Thats a huge pile of speculation.
Personally, I don't see what's so great about F-22's nozzles that makes people feel J-20 and T-50 should employ the same type of nozzles. F-22's nozzles produce vortices at the corners and lose some thrust as a result. In terms of RCS, I don't see how one exposed jet pipe would be better than another exposed jet pipe. The only advantage I see is simplicity in mechanics, since only two petals have to be actuated per nozzle.About flat noozles, im not sure that T-50 can get them without a major redesign of the plane. Besides, the engines are not integrated with the fuselage. I dont think that it would gain that much stealth. And it would lose the 3d noozles. Thats why i doubt that T-50 will get flat nozzles.
