J-20... The New Generation Fighter III

Air Force Brat said:

And that is the name of that tune, hopefully they will resume the Chengdu daily airshow with 2002, I do hope we get to see our big sister occasionally, I am excited to see what the envelope expansion will bring to the J-20 fleet. If they find any uglies, 2001 will likely get the upgrades and 2002 will likely see them next? I really don't expect to many issues, well let me rephrase that, I don't expect to see to many major issues.

I'm pretty sure we'll continue to see flight tests of 2002 on an almost daily basis. AFAIK only fairly basic flight tests are conducted at Chengdu, making sure the plane can fly safely, meeting basic performance requirements, and all onboard systems function normally. Having said that if the J10 program is an indicator these tests will continue well into the initial phase of serial production. Even after that all newly built frames will have to go through flight tests too, so the daily airshow will probably go on for the next 20 years or so. The thing is wall climbers will loose interest in shooting photos and videos long before that.

So Yanliang is PLAAF's own aircraft test centre, right?

CFTE is China's national aircraft testing and certification center, it certificates all new type military and civilian aircraft entering service in China. Right now it's working on type certification for both J15/16 and COMAC ARJ21.

Well I just finished watching this on the SyFy Channel. The pics are pretty much all you see of the J-20. Basically the story is aliens were trying to start WWIII by making it look like North Koreans and Chinese were attacking US warships. Funny thing was J-20s were flying across the Pacific to nuke the US. They couldn't even keep up with continuity. First you saw a graphic showing J-20s were approaching the West coast of the US. Then later when the climatic battle takes place, the heroes spot the J-20 "bombers" flying overhead heading for the US. Problem was they were off North Korea.

Ironic thing was the illogic of everything was very similar to the movie Battleship which this movie is trying exploit. In both movies even though these were aliens who had the technology to get to Earth, their military capabilities were on par with the US.

Regarding that, Brat, I heard something that could simply have been made up by someone bored. He urged people to go climb the walls as often as they could, because, he said, the 2002 won't stay in Chengdu for long.

And regarding the above rumor that the J-2002 will soon depart CAC, it immediately fires up people's curiosity as to why and hopes: "Would that mean we're going to see 2003??"

I have yet to go and check where the story goes today. Will report back on it if it sounds not too spurious...

It has been speculated that most of the low intensity testing done at the CAC were already completed by 2001. 2002 will perform some validation tests before joining 2001 for higher intensity testflights.

2003 was built in the same batch as 2002. It will come out in a few months.

I hope 2004 prototype will have the WS-15 debut with stealthy nozzle. Something like FC-1 with prototype04 having a major restruture to perfect it.

does anyone have number of test flights 2001 made before leaving CAC airfield for better place?

Deino has a pretty good record. I think the final count was around 63? There is also a thread on CJDBY that kept a pretty good record of every single flight so far.

LOL...gotta love those B-movies cheesy dialogues and plots! But I gotta give it to ya, the CG on B-Movies had improve a lot since the late 1980s.

if I'm not mistaken, March 20 flight was marked as 15th flight in 2012 so it's kinda 77th for 2001 (62 flights in 2011)
