“The impression here is of a big, long aircraft, 70+ feet from nose to tail, which would make sense for a number of reasons. Rob Hewson at Jane’s has reported that Russia has supplied 32,000-pound thrust 117S engines for the J-20, which would be adequate for an aircraft in the 80,000 pound class – with perhaps lower supercruise performance and agility than an F-22, but with larger weapon bays and more fuel” writes aerospace analyst Bill Sweetman, editor of Aviation Week/DTI.

Looks like a 30 year old F-16...

[wolfcreek]

Yep, the Chinese came up with that design all by themselves

[The Sons of Liberty]

The next time you see it, it might be in a million pieces with a fireball as a USAF F-22 takes it out.

[ThunderSleeps]

Wow, that thing is big... But with the canards and all-movable tail surfaces... I'll bet it is still fairly maneuverable. If the others are right, large payloads, long range... Well, that tells you what the primary design points were, and that tells you what kinds of missions they want it to go on. This is not a local air-defense fighter, this is a "forward defense" and offensive weapon system.

if you look really closely under the red star is says: “Thanks you American rat dog shoppers”

Not very 'stealthy' with all those hardpoints and canards sticking out in places. It's not going to be as agile as a 22 and it's going to need that extra power to push the speed.

Pretty easy track with the techno we have. Besides, we see them first, they're slag.

Looks like chinese junk to me.

Good start on a prototype. Looks like a bigger fighter/bomber than our F-35.

If they can build a lot of them, Taiwan belongs to China. The Navy doesn't have its equivalent and the AF doesn't have enough F-22s to contend with it, especially if we are dealing with more than one front.

But hey, our unions are bigger and stronger than theirs and our social welfare programs kick Chinese butt! We have our priorities straight, so take that, China!! (Oh, btw, can't we borrow some more money from you? Our social programs are kind of expensive and those pensions and obamacare are bankrupting us)

[Thunder90]

The Chinese copied the Raptorski... (SU-50)

[cranked]

Just as with the SU50, till those current engine outlets are changed to IR and heat reduction outlets, both are nothing more than Raptor heatseeker bait. =.=
