Re: New Generation Fighter
Some updates:
During the Yearly National Congress, some congressman who are seniors working in CAC and 611th institiutes disclosed more information about the fighter:
1, They claimed the R&D and manufacturering of J-XX will be within 2011-2015, whilst the median flight will be conducted very soon (2010 or 2011), and everything goes smoothly now.
2, They claimed their goal is develop an answer to F-22/35, not PAK-FA, and they think their fighter will outperformance F-22.
3, Comparing to PAK-FA, they claimed electrics and weapons will be at least on pair with PAK-FA, whilst stealth will be much better than PAK-FA, as for the rest peformance indicators (supercrusie, payload, maximum speed, layouts, etc), will be half-half.
