Chinese Military Stealth Fighter Project

Back


China's two major fighter aircraft manufacturers, Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC) and Chengdu Aircraft Industry Co. (CAC), are both working on advanced 4th-generation fighter designs that could enter the PLAAF service as early as 2015. While Shenyang has been engaged in a brand new F/A-22-class stealth fighter design known as J-12, Chengdu has been focusing its development effort on an enlarged twin-engine, stealth version of its J-10 fighter possibly designated J-13.

J-13 may be powered by two improved AL-41 turbofan engines with thrust-vectoring nozzles and possibly supersonic cruise capability too, giving a maximum take-off weight of 20t and a maximum altitude speed of Mach 2.45. If this is proven to be true, the J-13 will be a high-performance heavyweight fighter superior to the European EF-2000 Typhoon and French Rafale, and stand on the same level as the F22 Raptor.

Hmm, this slide show is pictures of other people's aircraft or close to them. For China, this aircraft does not exist except in the PLA fantasies. They won't make it until they steal the blueprints and copy it from others who do have it. Then it'll be out of date just as all their aircraft.

Not to disagree with the video, i;ve read that they HAVE been trying to copy the United States F-22(¢To U.S.A.F.) In the video it look like a F-22mixedMig-29

OK Now the guy staed that YES most pictures are fake. In Reality it comes down to China is over a decade from having a viable 5th gen fighter. Mean while us in the USA have one operational. If it came down to an air war tomarrow china whould be a word you just read in histroy by wensday to quote dos Gringos.Any who I know some things about steath techonogy and I can tell him these desgisn are in no way stealthy. A few simple rles can haelp make it more viable. Message me for details 5B9G
