What the heck is up with those flaps?
Are they trying to create extreme vectoring?
From what I see, it will shear off almost immediately.
How is this possible? china copies russian designs.
Chinese Stealth jet uses Silkspan Wings
Sounds like the Chinese are trying to encourage Raptor exports.
I’m sure they’d love to get their hands on one.
There is no such thing as one size fits all.
There is a reason the Air Force planes can roll the Navy’s.
Naval planes need more sh*t on their landing gear to be able to sustain the impact of carrier landings. That equals weight.
One size fits all sounds like a marketing angle. Don’t buy it!
Reminds me a little bit of the 1980’s era concept model of a MiG-37 fictional Soviet Stealth Bomber/Fighter that Testors put out. It was an analogue to the F-117.
Clintoons Chinagate contacts must've come in handy..
That thing doesn’t even look like it could get off the ground. If it could, I bet it’d have the turn radius of a refrigerator. Lockheed worried? On the contrary, they’ll probably use this as an example of the Chinese “threat” to sell more Raptors and Lightnings.
Dear Americans,
Thank so much you for to buy Chinese toys. We hope Chrismas hariday was for you happy. We need J-20 for to fly soon. Prease buy more our nice toys.
Rotsa ruck in the new year!

Click on pic for past Navair pings.
Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.
Conventional fighters are limited to how many weapons they can carry. Even if an F-22 can beat top line adversaries 5:1 or even 10:1 they may be overwhelmed by numbers.
We should develop VERY small UAV fighters in very large swarming numbers. Each would be very stealthy and carry 2 AA weapons internally. They would be fitted with small AESA radars and passive IR sensors. They would not need to be extremely fast or maneuverable because they would not be dogfighters. They would be weapons carriers, prepositioned at very high altitudes in anticipation of the threat, able to loiter on station for long periods of time.
Maybe something like Predator C Avenger but smaller.
Now facing a likely overmatch against the Chinese J-20, JSF shareholders such as Australia and potential Asian buyers such as Singapore, Japan, South Korea, and of course Taiwan must now be quite soured on the US refusal to sell the F-22.
Bill Clinton is now guaranteed cult status in the PLA for generations to come. They'll be carrying his picture on May Day.
Money Shot? LOL!!
You had better show the front of this piece of shit cause showing the back of it would easily demonstrate that Chinese “stealth” is about as stealthy and a fully lit blow torch asking for a heat seeker without KY up its arse. =.=
