J-20 China's Answer to the F-22

In the 1990s, the Peoples Liberation Army Air Force was looking for a new fifth gen fighter. During the early 2000s a competition was run, known in the West as the F-XX program. The winner of this program was Chengdu, who’s design - the J-20 Mighty Dragon - is now widely recognised as China’s preeminent air superiority fighter. Today, we take a closer look at the design.

A few errors: 1. At 01:40, that model was a wind tunnel model of J-9VI, a project that was ultimately abandoned because China did not have the technical capabilities in the late 1970's. 2. JF-17 is not "leaps and bounds" ahead of the J-10. JF-17 was meant to be an affordable replacement for countries looking to upgrade their Mig-21s, while J-10 was supposed to be a mainstay design similar to F-16. J-10 is the better platform. 3. Flanker derivatives such as J-16 and J-15 will continued to be produced alongside J-20. These will focus on strike and support roles (EW).

[@jeffery7281]

Supplement: the JF-17 is the evolution of so-called "Super-7", a project to redesign and vastly improving the performance of PLAAF's Mig-21(J-7s), with redesigned front fuselage that have side intakes, LEX, and change the wing to be crank delta or trapezoid shape. The design was made by Grumman. (A funny rumor I heard from what it is said to be someone worked in CAC: Chengdu also received Boeing's bidding, which they didn't invite at all, and claimed they could be at least 300,000 USD cheaper than Grumman's price. CAC's ppl are feeling strange, asked "then how do you earned from the project?" And guess what Boeing answered? "I don't want profit, I just want to keep sure Grumman will died.") The Super-7 project ended because of something we all know (ke-eh), and CAC still keep all the results on their side. They keep evolving the design, eventually became a brand-new aircraft that could be a modern Mig-21 replacer. And, of course, there's still a Chinese Mig-21 variant that looked pretty like the Super-7 design concept, the FTC-2000 "Mountain Eagle" of Guizhou. It was firstly designed to be a low-cost upgrade of current JJ-7(twin-seat Mig-21 trainer) fleet to let them meet the performance to training 4th gen fighter pilot, and now also being sold as another low-price modern Mig-21 replacer solution.

Correction, the thermal sensors are not inspired by F-35. It is in fact a Soviet focus, whilst the Americans dropped it and went with active radar. It has only been a decade since US re-focus back on thermal sensors because they got wrecked in F-22 and F-35 duels vs French fighter jets with thermal sensors. US stealth was bypassed easily it shocked the US airforce into action. Hence, Raytheon developed thermal sensor pods for upgrading F-16, F-15 and F-18s, and the design of F-35 incorporates thermal sensors finally. China has very advanced thermal sensors, more more than EU/US because they have been specializing in it from Soviet era.

1:59 The JF-17 was not "leaps and bounds" ahead of the J10. The JF-17 was primarily made to be cheap and for the export market, primarily as a joint venture with Pakistan. It's why the PLAAF doesn't use the JF-17 themselves. Pakistan has also purchased the export variant of the J10C which it also largely regards as an upgrade to the JF-17. The JF-17 is designed to be fast , light and most importantly CHEAP to both manufacture and to maintain so that it can be attractive to developing countries. But it lacks the range and payload capacity of the J10 which is why the JF-17 was never adopted by the PLAAF.

JF17 is meant to be the compliment to Pakistani F16. The requirements are, close to F16 effectiveness, cost of mig21, and can be produced by Pakistan locally. Seemingly impossible mission accomplished in around 30 years after numerous changes to requirements. Collaboration partners include all 5 permanent UNSC members. The customer even dropped out once , which almost killed the project. And yet it finally delivered and exceeded expectations. The story is much more interesting than that of the J20s. But the aircraft is meant to be as cheap as possible not like J10 which goes toe to toe against F16 in performance.

[@geodkyt]

Other than the fact that it doesn't approach 30nyear old F-16 performance, sure. The -17 is a good bird for the money, but it's more like an F-5E in overall aerdynamic performance than an F-16... which lines up with the price more akin to what a modern F-5 would cost. JF-17: Mach 1.6, combat *range* 900km on internal fuel (with unstated external stores or flight profile), 8x hard points for a total of 8 tons of external stores (including fuel AND missiles or bombs) F-16: Mach 2, 11 hard points for up to 7.7 tons of external stores. With a combat *radius* in typical air to air configuration of over 900km - note that combat radius is, by definition.

[@姜磊-n5h]

@@geodkyt the airframe, maybe. But even F16 receives upgrade constantly and the F16V is very different than F16A. The JF17 block III has avionics close to that of the J10s, DSI inlet and can use a large number of air to air and air to ground munitions. You can hardly find anything else in the market with these. In modern air conflicts the results are more and more up to avionics and the missiles. If F5E could shoot AIM120D it would be great value for money, too. Also for the potential customers it's not just capabilities and unit cost, running costs are important, too. PLAAF is even phasing out the J10s while it is considered highend by Pakistan. Therefore this modernized F5E still makes quite a lot of sense today.

When the United States decided to sanction China and shifted the destination of some parts procurement to Europe and even India, the cost of your equipment procurement increased significantly, and the time took significantly longer, and there was a lot of corruption in your military industry. Your congress have more and more Indian (and maybe a president) in your parliament instead of Chinese , seriously think about who is bleeding you. If you come up with an answer similar to mine, and you can generalize it to other areas of American society, you will realize that some politicians and interest groups in the United States are trying to destroy a secular state that is not hostile to you, and that the real threat to you is never the Chinese warships, but the demographic and cultural changes taking place in your communities.

that is some bad research. the JF17 is inferior to the J10. it was effectively designed as a new airframe to use existing MiG21 hardware to create an ultra low cost yet modern capability fighter that would be easy to service... China doesn't use the JF17, they are primarily used and build by Pakistan. the J10 was comparable and above the spec of F16.

The J-20's development, especially its rapid production and shift toward multi-role capabilities like the F-35, is impressive. However, how do you think it stacks up against the F-22 and F-35 in terms of actual combat performance?

This is nothing to do with the F-22. It only has to be better than the Taiwan F-16s. If and when China decides to re-unify Taiwan, as with Ukraine and Russia, it is unlikely that the US will intervene directly other than put several battalions of Marines on the island to assist with the ground war. This means that the primary opponent to the J-20 will be the F-16. The Chinese are not really interested in attacking the US and don't really care if the J-20 is not at parity to the F-22 or F-35. The J-20 will likely never face US planes in wide scale combat. The financial damage that such a war would have to the US would be insurmountable. Taiwan it not worth direct US involvement, other putting a 3 or 4 MEUs ashore. Clearly the Marines have been redesigning for this purpose for the last 5 years.

[@geodkyt]

You can't shoot down what you can't see. F-22 RCS when it is configured for contested airspace is literally the size of a bumblebee, and the stealth performance is biased towards the higher frequencies *necessary* for a fire control lock. And before people pop in with it - it is *publicly admitted* by the USAF that F-22 and F-35 aircraft flying in peacetime areas, or even "non contested airspace" combat missions, routinely fly with radar *augmentors* installed, so that search radars can actually *see* them for traffic control. We have not yet deployed either bird to a high threat contested airspace, which means the only folks who have seen them in their "wartime" RCS configuration are friendly allied forces (amd not even all of them, becayse we often fly our fighters handicapped in joint exercises because it's better training for *our* pilots to not have all their usual advantages). The J-20 has a much larger RCS, primarily because if the canards (canards which are only required because Cheng-du can't make it stable without them, because they don't have the experience and skill with dynamically unstable, computer controlled aircraft). The ranges claimed by Chinese long range air to air missiles is: A. Marketing hype, unverified by anyone else. And, much as other customers of Chinese military hardware, almost certainly don't represent reality. B. Even if they weren't exaggerated, represent a purely *theoretical* range that assumes a perfect interceot setup where the target is solidly locked up (see above for RCS). In other words, even if the ranges are true, they represent something asking to being able to down a civilian airliner or a military transport flying completely clueless. In contrast, the USAF (especially since the AIM-4 and early AIM-7 in Vietnam) routinely *understates* missile performance, and the AIM-120D has been *in active service* for ten years now, with an *admitted* live fire tested range in excess of 100 miles against a "non compliant target" (probably something like a QF-16 being flown by a drone operator... note in US service, these exercises generally involve a bet of a case of beer between the drone crews and the air crews, just to encourage maximum effort all around). No notes on whether AIM-174 (an air launched SM-6 missile) is going to be approved for F-22, but in air launched mode it is quite capable of "well in excess of 200 miles", and the holistic engagement system the Navy developed for.it as the SM-6 means you don't actually need a fire control radar lock to shoot *just as accurately* - it can use fused sensor data where NONE of it approaches "fire control quality" to create a synthetic lock... that doesn't even register as a fire control lock on the target (because there is no radar lock on the target until the missile is in terminal mode). Oh, and it is capable of termianlnintercept of ballistic missiles moving at hypersonic speeds... because the US Navy has shot down exactly those types of targets (in fact, they've shot dowm exoatmospheric ballistic missiles in their terminal hypersonic phase). It would, however, have to be carried externally or on a "missile truck" platform like an F-18E or F-15EX. The AIM-260 is reportedly already in production, is about the size of the AIM-120D with apparently twice the range (becayse the USAF doubled the range safety standoffs in NOTAMs for AIM-260 firings, as opposed to AIM-120D firings), and fits inside the F-22 weapons bay (which was a mandatory requirement). It is expected to replace the AIM-120D entirely in US service in the next few years.

Their is a 3rd party radar scattering CAD simulation done on Aircraft 101. Without RAM coatings, they compared all 3 F-35, J-20, and Su-57 low observable LO characteristics through their shapes/geometry alone. In a 20x20deg frontal aspect, "J-20 RCS is higher than F-35A RCS through the frequency range (approximately 3.5 times in X-band, 1.5 times in VHF band), it still has much better RCS characteristic when compared to Su-57.” So in geometry alone without the RAM coatings, a 3.5 times difference would translate to 37% difference in detection range in the X-band which is pretty significant. Even with RAM coatings of the same level used on F-35 or F-22, J-20 is still less stealthy by 37%. But obviously their will still be a substantial difference in RAM coatings. So F-35 much more F-22 definitely has the “first look, first shoot, first kill” and even a 2nd shot in beyond visual range BVR.

If you don't believe it, just google it on the internet and everything will be clear to you.
