the test flight of PT2011 is going well and intensely in this week...the weather condition is the key-- it is quite sunny and cloudless all the day, so this bird was spotted flying everyday so far... pic source: CD forum


-------------------------

the only Tu204 in China has been modified to a inflight testbed for the new radar and avionics of J20 project.



----------------------
BTW ,there is quite some such testbeds in china's test fight units...

1.the early IL14PB testbed in 1980-90s...most of 147X serial PD radars were mounted on this platform for test in 1990s. this plane has retired..
2.the famous testbed plane--Y8( #079 ) ...the J10B's AESA and J11B's PD Radars were tested on this platform...
3.one of the J11A Prototypes was chosen as the J16 attacter's AESA radar testbed.



4.the Y7 (#713) testbed for the newest H6 bomber varient-H6K's radar(bombing radar).
5.another Y8 platform--#728 for some Special Purpose Airplanes' avionics and radar tests

They should call this aircraft the J-Boat.

It looks so huge that it might as well be a boat.
Is this really what stealth is.

Heck.......you do dont even need a radar to see this.
On a clear day - probably a enemy fighter plane could see this guy 30 miles away with his naked eyes.

Every time I see this thing - it makes me wanna laugh.
They tried to copy the F-35 which is like half the size of this.
