J20 Stealth Fighter

[bose]

Although I am no expert in military aviation, J20 is too bulky so less maneuverable ... if anyone manages to sneak close to it, J20 will be a dead meat... Better be a Bomber than a fighter"¦ more so where is the engine ??

no update for quite a while...so...........

start with this stitched blurred image spreaded for weeks...the long waited 3rd Prototype of J20 project finally show itself...
but surprisingly the side number is "2011" ,not the supposed "2003" which means that it might the first real Prototype of this Project ,and the 2001,2002 were Tech Demo only

above: PT 2011 ........bellow TD 2001

----------------------
today .the PT2011 made the first Low speed Taxi for the first time.

----------------------
a much more clear frontal view here...some obvious adjustments could be spotted...

New radome or the prototype is not painted fully?

And is that IRST below the cockpit? Or DIRCM?

1...frontal view

a. the.size of four control surface actuator under the wing has been reduced...
b. an electro-optical sensor fairing fitted under the nose(similar to F22's planned upgrade one)
c. the top flange of air intake has been 'declined' (more close to SAC's AMF project and F35)

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

2....cockpit part:

a.the new ejection mode--ejection through the canopy replaced canopy jettison ejection....the detonation cord could be spotted...
b.the change of ejection mode might bring the change of canopy design as well... an inside strengthening rib is added
c.the new frameless HUD (actually this is an 'old' project with long history and I saw its prototype already about 10 years ago. but not sure it is the same as the one below)

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

3....the most important improvement would be the coating which bring a lot of imagination
...Shining silver gray with metallic lustre...but the bright-coloured PLAAF's emblem on the tail is something spoiling the show

-----------------------------
4. the engine seems has been changed...obviously short with F35 style Serrated nozzle

Front landing gear door has been changed too.

Nice paint scheme though.

Its engine may give us bigger surprise.

J-20 may have better ground attack capability than F-22

Third Prototype of China's Jet Makes Maiden Flight, Shows Improvement :

The third prototype of China's 5th Generation aircraft made its maiden flight on March 1.

Beijing's radar evading plane shows several differences from the first (and second) prototype aircraft, a sign China is improving and developing more in the field of low observability applied to fighter jets.
