My thanks to Bill Clinton and all the supporters of letting those people come over here and go to school and work in our defense industry.

But given the sometimes decrepit state of Chinese industry, you really wonder will this plane actually WORK. Especially given the numerous problems that plagued the Chengdu J-20 fighter.

They don’t have a fully functional, mass production 5th gen fighter yet.

Don’t be surprised when our new F-47 is identical.

But the PRC, with the Chengdu J-36 and Shenyang J-50 projects, reached the stage of flying prototypes first.

Some are claiming the Chinese are a few to several years ahead of the US in developing the sixth generation aircraft. Consequently, there will be some years where China will dominate and intimidate all of Asia because no other air force can match them.

“the length of the Chengdu J-36 is estimated at 20–26 meters, the wingspan is close to 20 m”

That seems to be a pretty big airplane to me.

I tend to think small, stealthy, cheap and plentiful is the way forward.

There still is a place for manned airplanes, but drones will dominate the battlefields.
