Latest version of J-20 fighter jet completes maiden test flight

Taipei, March 1 (CNA) China's new version of its J-20 fighter jet completed its first test flight successfully Saturday, escorted by a J-10S fighter, a leading Chinese- language infotainment web portal cited sources as saying Saturday. The mil.news.sina.com.cn website said the plane landed successfully at around 12:30 p.m. Reports also said that the J-20 No. 2011 has undergone several improvements and upgrades in terms of engine capacity, as well combat and stealth ability. Chinese military expert Du Wenlong, in a recent interview with China's CCTV television channel, said the new version of J-20 could mean that all the technical problems of the old versions of J-20 have been solved and that combat training tests will follow.

I don't want to spoil your enthusiasm but that jet looks fat and heavy. The body is too wide and the two engines looks small compared to it. I hope the thrust-to-weight ratio of those engines are double that of F119. That jet looks cumbersome as a fighter and would appear to be better suited as a long range strike aircraft.

While Beijing is proudly leaking more images of J-20 fifth-generation stealth fighter jet, China continues to buy Russian military jet engines and spare parts, which might indicate China is in a technological deadlock.

-China is making an attempt to catch up with world leaders and develop hi-tech vehicles in the absence of crucial military know-how and technology, like engines for ultrasonic cruise flights and active phased array antennas.

"As of now, it is too early to say that China is capable of creating a fifth-generation jet from start to finish," told RT Vasily Kashin from the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies.

what is this in J20 (2011) ?

 

[shiphone]

those 'two hexagon barriers' would be some kind of Intake Air Spill Ducts to release some air for better air admission efficiency at different Mach speeds...

=========================
some bottom view of PT 2011... some changes could be noticed as well...

Stolen F-35 Secrets Now Showing Up in China's Stealth Fighter

A cyber espionage operation by China seven years ago produced sensitive technology and aircraft secrets that were incorporated into the latest version of China's new J-20 stealth fighter jet, according to U.S. officials and private defense analysts.

The Chinese cyber spying against the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II took place in 2007 under what U.S. intelligence agencies codenamed Operation Byzantine Hades, a large-scale, multi-year cyber program that targeted governments and industry.

Defense officials said the stolen data was obtained by a Chinese military unit called a Technical Reconnaissance Bureau in the Chengdu province. The data was then passed to the state-run Aviation Industry Corp. of China (AVIC).

An AVIC subsidiary, the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, used the stolen data in building the J-20, said defense and intelligence officials familiar with reports of the illicit tech transfer.
