PLA next/6th generation fighter thread

Dammit I hate it when big news happen when I'm on holiday.

So in the end it looks like Ayi, Cute Orca and that CAD guy was on the money when they leaked about the 3 engines those weeks ago with that drawing and the lot of them saying it's about right. That's creditability up for them.

DSI can be as good as caret intakes in supersonic though. It's an old myth that should be debunked long ago.

When J-10 did its first test flight the J-6 was the chase plan. When J-20 did it the J-10S was the chase plane. It's now J-20S' turn..

it is indeed a historic moment for entire Chinese nation..

It sacrifices stealth though if I am not mistaken

Yeah DSI is said to be more stealthy.
