The People's Republic of China works currently on developing the J-20 stealthy fighter-aerial aircraft. This aircraft has been modeled after American and Japanese designs, but is developed by China's Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group. This aircraft is intended as an air superiority fighter that can also be used for precision strikes.
This aircraft is designed to operate in a carrier environment, similar to the US F-35. It is also designed to be a two-seat aircraft, which means that China will be the first nation in the world to have a domestically developed carrier capable stealth fighter. It is believed that the aircraft was photographed in primer paint at Chengdu Aerospace Corporation.
The Chengdu J-20 stealth fighter has completed its first flight, and will be incorporated into Chinese combat units by February. It has already been tested in mock air battles. Although it is not all-aspect stealth like the F-22 and F-35, it has good front end stealth.
There are reports that the J-20 has begun South China Sea patrols. These aircraft were created to counter fifth-generation American fighters. They have been seen in action by Indian fighters.
The War Zone reported in October that a strange, delta-wing, giantss aircraft was spotted at an air base in China. This aircraft is believed to be a decoy for the Chengdu J-20 stealth fighter. It is believed that the aircraft was photographed in primer paint at an Chinese military plant. Whether it is a full-scale decoy or a true representation of the aircraft, it is unclear. It could be either an early-stage prototype or a design in its early stages.
The Chinese military aviation program tends be very secretive. China's most valuable military weapon is the Chengdu J-20 stealth fighter, but it is classified. China is believed also to be working on a new generation in long-range aircraft. It is thought that the plane will be capable to reach Guam without any mid-air refuelling. The aircraft is expected to be capable of reaching Guam without any mid-air refueling.
China's Zhuhai Airshow was the latest venue for testing the J-20 stealth fighter. At the show, the aircraft displayed its missile payload. These aircraft can perform aerial refuelling, which is a vital capability for the Chinese air force. They are designed to be used in a variety of roles, including air superiority fighters, aerial refueling and precision strike. The Chengdu J-20 is considered the pride of the People's Liberation Army Air Force.
Some rumors suggest that China's stealth aircraft program uses a similar design as the B-2 Spirit. However, the aircraft's design does not seem to be suitable for a heavy payload platform. The aircraft will likely be used for medium-range fighterbombers.
The Chengdu J-20, a twin-engine aircraft designed to be a stealthy fighter and high-performance fighter, is the Chengdu J-20. It is based in part on the defunct YF-23. It looks very similar to B-2 Spirit. It can be used for aerial refuelling operations and has four under-wing drop tanks pylons.
