T-Bone Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Interesting place to set up a test flight base, with all the clouds and haze I am sure it is easy to conceal something like the J-20 from spy satellites. Of course a test flight would be more convenient in a desert area with little to no cloud cover like Edwards AFB.

3GOCHN-443 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 there's a big chance that the first flight is tomorrow (Jan 11th).However I have a important test tomorrow so maybe I can't translate the live feed by then, but I will try my best to deliver the latest news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4c Hajduk Veljko Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 It is a big risk to have a very first flight broadcasted live. It is either that this is not the very first flight or again, they are taking a big risk.

T-Bone Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I would say test flying a prototype under any circumstances is dangerous. Nothing is more humiliating than a crash as we saw with the YF-22 in 1992. I'm sure with China's obsession with saving face they want to get this done right. I also wouldn't doubt that the plane has flown before and that this test flight will be a somewhat staged airshow.

czarnyolek Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 On last picture you can see how tiny these engines are compared to whole aircraft. I wonder about performance of this plane. Does;nt look too agile, or maybe Chinese found solution how to squize out a lot of thrust from small engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does;nt look too agile, or maybe Chinese found solution how to squize out a lot of thrust from small engine. We assume its the Al-31 engine or a clone/derivative. Acceleration and Top speed won't be stellar considering the size of the beast plus draggy canards plus any restrictions on the intake. Then again some would say that its role will be long range strike and penetration. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering financial resources China have at it disposal, its gonna happen quicker than in EF case, but still we are looking at years in front. Surely J-20 will be a factor to fasten development of other constructions, such as F-35 and pak-fa, but future only will show if they all at the sme level of technology, or just look V-th gen.

Yep, first flight is just a milestone. To be honest, it took USA 15 years form the first flight of YF-22 to F-22A achieves IOC, I won't expect China goes any faster than USA. Although I hope J-20 can achievs IOC by the year 2018, cause according to the latest timetable, WS-15 engine can be operated about in 5 or 6 years, and PL-21 long range missile can catch up with the plane.(PL-10 short range missile is already operational) Edited January 11, 2011 by 3GO*CHN-443 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilotasso Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Chinas plane clearly reflect a completely different filosophy than Russians and probably requirments too, what that is exactly we still dont know, although plausible hypothesis has been placed on this thread. I say Chinas own low RCS version of the strike eagle. The next stealth project the chinese are working on is alegelly a defense fighter.

4c Hajduk Veljko Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Jan 11th 1252: it seems it took off without activated the after burne, nobody saw the flame from the nuzzle Take off profile seemed to be very conservative, thus no need for afterburners.

Cali Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Take off profile seemed to be very conservative, thus no need for afterburners. I assume the airplane was nor fully fueled up either. I would say the same thing. On these test flights they don't want the jet fully fueled up. Another thing is these flights are the normal flights and don't last as long, thus no need to fully fuel it up. i7-4820k @ 3.7, Windows 7 64-bit, 16GB 1866mhz EVGA GTX 970 2GB, 256GB SSD, 500GB WD, TM Warthog, TM Cougar MFD's, Saitek Combat Pedals, TrackIR 5, G15 keyboard, 55" 4K LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
