J-20 April 1 (Not April Fool's Day) Video

[video]http://www.56.com/flashApp/out.12.03.29.swf?from=out&vid=NjcyMTI5MzY&ref=&swfhost=www.56.com&loading_deco_version=off[/video]

From that video I'd guess the J20 is flying at about 500m?

That would be my guess, too! So will it be Brat's guess, I'd venture to say!

Roger that hmmwv, there so much stuff below to break he's gotta be carefull, he's doin some crankin and bankin, prolly in burner pretty good, if he is maintaing altitude, it takes a lot of power, thats why the leading edge flaps are deployed and the canard is angled downward to prevent overpitching the aircraft, the last thing you want to do is depart the aircraft. When you bring a fighter aircraft in to land, you customarily do a 360 overhead, where you fly down the runway heading and do the overhead break, and honk her right on around at a very low power setting in a steep bank with fairly heavy g, that bleeds off speed so you can lower the flaps and pop the gear. Then you bring the power back up to maintain a safe descent rate, as you have greatly reduced your available energy and increased your drag, the ideal approach speed is calculated at a given fuel/payload, and from there you gradually bleed off airspeed and energy as you fly down final. If you're fast you risk an overshoot, if you're slow you risk a high sink arrival, or worse landing short, if you're on the mark the nose is higher than the mains, the main gear rolls on and you hold the nose off for aerodynamic braking, and Bob's your uncle! Yes you know your old bud pretty well player.

If the yellow circle is the radiation warning sign then it looks like 2002 does have radar installed.

Cool, I didn't get too excited yesterday because I figured you guys were going to prank us out on April fools day. She may get off the runway a little slower than 2001? may not need so much downward canard? Although if equipment is missing, as in the radar a lead weight is installed to maintain weight and balance within limits, it will be interesting to watch. Hey tallman, are you going to fly this one too? I'd just love to pick his brain, but then we wouldn't have so much fun playin expert would we? Eh? I really doubt there are too many changes, 01 looks like she flys pretty well IMHO.

What is behind the canopy? Looks like a GPS receiver???

There has to be something significantly new whether inside or out. Would just building another of the same draw in the bigwigs?

Hmmvw over on CDF said it could be the same radio compass we see on J-10, Z-10 etc.

Huitong's saying it could be for datalinking/ew.

Personally, it could be any type of avionic. What that bump itself is isn't very important. What's important is that it indicates this plane is being outfitted with at least some avionics we'll likely see on the final plane (i.e.: radar, eodas possibility on 2002?)
