China shocks analysts by Flight Testing 5th gen JXX Stealth fighter

Really, Raytheon and Vympel should just give us a couple ;)

 

I'll self-moderate. Back to J-20. Fighter or Bomber? (In the FB-111 sense).

 

Can we keep this thread about J-20? I hope I'm not unreasonable. You ladies have bantered on about these missiles since I've been a member. I'm guessing you've been at it for years. LMAO. :)

Long range, Shore to Sea, Naval Interdiction. That's where my green is.

I can see them doing the naval mission, but I can't see them being outright limited to it.

Good point. Well, do we have reliable info on which engines are in J-20?

RVVAE-SD and MD are being designed for Su-35 and T-50 porduction models but not aquired by anyone yet.
This is off topic.

Useless analysis that tells you nothing, while pretty much telling you that it tells you nothing - but there's pretty pictures so if you ignore carefully reading the words, you might think it's telling you something! :)

I wonder why the chinese chose to place the lift centroid so backwards, behind the CG.

With a canard that big it's probably not. For a standard design, the stabilizer has to be a negative lifting surface to counteract the moment caused by the wing, and the center of lift generally ends up being in the main wing, which is convenient if you want to store fuel or weapons on your wing.

 

With a canard design, The stabilizer needs positive lift to counteract the moment from the wing. The canard also creates downwash, which reduces the effectivenss of the main wing behind it. These two things together mean the center of lift for the entire airplane is well ahead of the center of lift for the main wing. The J-20 is really less unnatural than it may appear.

 

Having the center of gravity too far ahead of the neutral point is more of a low maneuverability problem than a stability problem anyway, so it's definitely not something you would want to do with a fighter, no matter how good your flight control computer is.

Stolen Technology. Thieves!!!

 

the western world stole a bunch of stuff from china too so I guess it is payback time baby!

I wonder if the j-20 is going to have good sustained turn rates; since the wing is placed so far in the back.

My gut feeling tells me this plane is a halfbaked potatoe. Does it have thrust vectoring? What about the building materials? Do they allow stealth properties? Some round looks, some edges... It looks like they didnt do proper research.

 

The plane just looks damn big, should it intercept big bombers? Reminds me of Mig31 and F14. Maybe its just that the cockpit looks small.

To me its a long range stealth strike aircraft. It makes much more sense given the chinese aspirations, plus it would be far smarter to avoid competing in the AA area where their adversaries are stronger and have a lead.

If it is a strike craft, what kind of weapons can it employ? and how many? If they have to put them on pylons it would render the stealth capability useless.
