    I always find it funny how people (especially chinese and russian keyboard warriors and nationalists) will mock the US for "wasteful" things like making different variants of the same jet like it's some stupid idea when China and Russia will either do the same or at least attempt to do the same. It's the same with aircraft carriers: Chinese nationalists and media talk about how aircraft carriers are obsolete in the age of hypersonic missiles and suicide drones... yet China is desperately copying American aircraft carrier tech and Russia keeps attempting to build even a fraction of the carriers of the US.

    The number of wheels under (and carried with, in flight) a plane is to do with load spreading and controllability under blowout conditions. There are plenty Russian planes with dual front wheels that never have and were never thought to see a carrier. It was for rough terrain takeoff and according to the Russians themselves, a single front wheel could not safely carry the load of the plane. It's the reason semi-tractor trailers (18 wheelers) and the mega loads they move where they have a gazillion tires.....its for safety margin and load spreading. In airplanes, there are many dual nose gear planes that will NEVER see a carrier. There are even planes that have not (publicly acknowledged at least) landed on a carrier that have tail hooks- the F-15 for example, because she's a big girl and lost brakes and such mean a controllability problem. I mention this because even a tail hook doesn't guarantee carrier-bound intentions. Dual nose gears are found all over the world on land-locked planes and weight is usually THE determining factor.

  • @ronjon7942

    But in this case, the carrier connection makes more sense as the gross weight and especially the weight of the fore area are low, certainly similar to the F-35.

    What it has under the hood is always a big question. From what I have heard from an experienced combat pilot, is that you can get a bit of an idea from what the pilot did at the air show. Her particularly noted the amount of black smoke you could see from the jet engines. He commented that it looks like they may not have the fuel-air mixture quite right and the smoke is especially notable in maneuvers where the pilot is going to suddenly push the engines to higher output for the maneuver. Obviously, this does not mean they have not solved the issue or have more advanced engines now. But as I understand it, the engine issue was also a reason the J-20s have performance issues.

    @@Jkl62200 Yes and hopefully that will improve the aircraft's performance so it can actually take off with full loads of fuel and munitions. The F-35 has around 1,000 operational craft now? Has also actually been in combat sorites and has proven itself. But it seems a lot of people want to comment on how the chinese aircraft is equal to or superior to the F-35/F-22. Yet all we hear is it will eventually get new engines. It's kind of like those who claimed the SU-57 would be an F-22 killer. The SU-57 is a pretty plane and certainly capable But some of it's flaws are clearly visible in regards to its stealth performance. Meanwhile people are already claiming the Checkmate will be better than Western aircraft. Yet these claims people make are based on what the specs are on paper or in the case of this Chinese Aircraft on future engines it has not been received yet and is unproven. I am not saying that the Russian and Chinese Aircraft will not be capable and deadly. They may even be a match for Western aircraft. I just find it funny that people see the Gyrfalcon perform at an airshow and read the specs on paper already stating the aircraft is better. When those jets are deployed for 18 months and gone on 1,300 combat sorties then they can compare. (The U.S. Air Force deployed the F-35 to the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility for 18 consecutive months and the jet delivered operationally: 42 jets, 1,100 airmen, 1,319 sorties, 352 total weapons dropped and 3,774 25MM rounds expended.) The Chinese and Russian jets look pretty in airshows. But let's not compare them to actually proven combat vehicles. I mean where has the SU-57 been in Ukraine? That all being said. You are right the Chinese aircraft are supposed to get new Chinese-made engines instead of using those older Russian ones. So hopefully that actually helps the planes perform as intended AND they get the mixture right so you do not see those telltale signs of black smoke. I personally think the J-20 looks like a BUS. One of the uglier jets I have seen and people have commented that it is not as maneuverable. The Fc-31 is actually a visually stunning plane and what it says it can do on paper is impressive. I get why people cannot help but compare. Americans are already talking about the NGAD and how it will dominate the skies and make all the advancements China and Russia have made obsolete. But until they have the NGAD operational and performing to what we have been told, It's a far cry from a match for a Fokker DR 1 Tri-plane, let alone anything else.

    @@Jkl62200 As I understood the J-20 had issues taking off with full load also. But I thank you for the correction. However, you are incorrect the F-35 has been combat tested. As I stated in my comment, 42 F-35s to US Central command have gone on over 1300 combat sorties expending ordinance on targets. Also did you not read my comment? Salty and Dismissive? I SPECIFICALLY praised them as advanced and capable fighters. I just stated that they are not up to par with F-22s and F-35s. The issues plaguing the F-35 have been mostly rectified and it will be on the Block 4 iteration. I NEVER stated the F-35 was perfect or did not have issues. I even stated that the FC-31 and the SU-57 were beautiful aircraft. The J-20 I think is ugly, but I did not take away from its abilities. I simply stated as many experts have pointed out that the J-20 seems less maneuverable than the other "peer" aircraft it would be facing. That can be said of the F-35 as well. While they CAN dogfight, these aircraft would prefer not to, especially up against something like an SU-57 or F-22. I also said that when China gets its homemade engines instead of using the Russian ones, hopefully, that will correct a lot of the performance issues of its newest fighters. Again actually AGREEING with you. that those engines should give a substantial upgrade to Chinese aircraft to perform better. As for the SU-57, I also gave credit. But Russia seems to have exaggerated its capabilities. It has exposed screws and obvious airframe design issues that would mean it is not as stealthy as Western "peer" aircraft. I also stated that the F-35 has had around 1,000 produced aircraft sold to multiple nations. With actual combat sorties under its belt. China has around 150 J-20s? So they have almost as many J-20s as the US has F-22s. Just because I believe the F-22 is a far superior aircraft to the J-20 does not mean the J-20 is not capable, but China hardly has it in numbers, there are questions on exactly how stealthy it is as well. Most analysts believe the J-20 is low observable with a smaller RCS than the 4th gen and older. Expert assessments of the J-20’s radar cross-section place it somewhere between .08 and .3 square meters. This places it well ahead of Russia’s Su-57 in a head-on comparison (RCS varied depending on the angle from which the aircraft is observed), but well behind both of America’s stealth fighters. Again though I never put down the capabilities I simply stated that they are still not up to par with US stealth aircraft as far as RCS. I pointed out some issues with the engines which you acknowledged was because they were using the older Russian engines. So again not salty or dismissive. I even said when they get the new engines it hopefully will solve those issues. The only thing I stated was that those praising the FC-31 as being just as good or better than the peers it is up against is that it as of yet is unproven and not built in large numbers. I even stated Americans do the same when they talk about the NGAD. It looks great on paper or as an experimental craft. But until it is made in numbers with a history to judge them by, anyone saying they are the equivalent of the F-22 or F-35 is speculating. So how am I salty or dismissive? I do not know why you are having an attitude calling me salty and dismissive. I was having a civil conversation. I also am secure enough to understand I do not know everything and can make mistakes. As I confused the issue with taking off at full capacity between the J-20 and J-15. Though I thought they both had those issues because of the older engines. As I said I know China has new engines of their own not Russian-made, that should solve their engine issues. A word of advice. These are comments and maybe you are reading too much into them. But before you call someone salty and dismissive, you might want to consider that we are all just sharing thoughts. There was no need for you to make those faulty assumptions.

    Thats the current strategy for f35s operating alongside 4th gen fighters. Essentially acting as stealthy target detection and acquisition for the 4th gen fighters further back who can then fire from ranges that they cant be targeted themselves. Stealth aircraft firing missiles become very targetable while doing so, so this strategy allows them to stay untargetable for as long as possible. Its worth noting that even stealth aircraft can be seen on certain types of radar, but where they excel is in being much harder to actually target/get a lock on to.

Now imagine trying to launch any type of space craft which would have to be unmanned into space at such a rate of acceleration. Not to mention how strong the cargo would have to be to withstand such a force during launch. Not to mention how large the rail gun would have to be and how much electrical power it would take to make it work lol. Don't think this would be possible or doable any time in the near future.

    One thing I'd argue is that the idea of a J-20 going up against an F-35 isn't the point. The J-20 isn't as capable individually as F-22 or F-35, but the Chinese are still flying aircraft like the J-7 and J-10. So J-20 is there for quantitive reasons too. It is operational and continued production ensures that the entire Chinese fighter force can be equipped with modern hardware. I would also imagine that the J-31 or derivates might be cheaper than the J-20 and fullfil a similar role to the J-20 as the F-16 did to the F-15, lighter weight, cheaper but modern multi-purpose aircraft. As such, by 2030 or so, regardless of which Chinese fighter you'll encounter, it will be a modern design. And that is, I think, the advantage the PLA AF is going for.

    @@oot007 all good points, and I'm an interested lay person and don't claim to be the ultimate authority, this is just some friendly chat, so let's keep it that way. Some of the points you mentioned aren't as clear-cut or decisive as one might believe. Take the higher range Chinese missles, which the US has acknowledged as such, but new AIM-260s are being developed as we speak because of that, and while I don't have statistical data on it, my gut feeling is that the American industrial complex can produce a superior AA missle than the Chinese - or any other military for that matter, they certainly spent enough money on it over the last 100 years. Thrust vectoring as part of the defensive systems is of limit importance, see off-bore shooting and quality of modern AA missles. Never say never but doubtful that a higher turn capability is of much relevance, especially compared to other stuff such as ECM and ECCM. To a certain extent, this also applies to super-cruise capability. Higher range true, as a pay-off for a much bigger airframe, which cannot be great for the RCS, no? And who knows what that does to the thrust-weight ratio. Would be interesting to see who can get a weapon's grade lock on the other first, which is, it seems to me, the key factor in having the edge in a modern air-to-air engagement. But of course there is a reason why much of the "soft" stuff, like avionics and sensor capabilities, are classified. But as one Air Force officer said after F-22 met J-20s in the South China sea, they are not worried about the J-20s. And don't get me wrong here, I have no stake in this comparison, I'm just a military aviation enthusiast. But even with the data they "acquired" about F-22 and F-35, it is doubtful that the Chinese can research and produce equipment, from engines to missles, that are on the same level as US stuff developed at the same time. The PL-15 might be a better missile than the AIM-120. It's also decades younger. Same for the F-22. To use an analogy: sure, a T-55 is superior to an M4 Sherman, but that doesn't mean Soviet designs were better than American ones. Having said that, I find it quite impressive, that the Chinese have been building up their military very thoughtfully over many decades. For example, they do have a fleet of enablers - tankers, AWACS, etc. - rather than pumping out only "prestige" objects like the J-20. Compare that to the problem of the US air tanker fleet at the moment. They also have "aggressor" squadrons. And the aforementioned Air Force officer mentioned how they were impressed with the PLA AF command and control, stuff that isn't normally considered in comments sections :) So, IMHO, J-20 is not on the level of the F-35 technologically and hence tactically. Doesn't mean J-20 is a bad aircraft, it means it's an aircraft made by the country with the second biggest military budget in the world, compared to F-35, the aircraft developed by the country with the biggest military budget in the world and the most experienced and biggest military industrial complex in the world and access to the most advanced technology in the world.

    Interesting to see (re T.S. 13:49) the ac has (what I guess as) an external air cart start system (not engaged) providing air to the compressor, vice turbine for the engine(s). At first I thought this the fuel delivery hose but as the hose seems collapsed vice rigid, I don't think it's attached to a fuel point (plus, the delivery vehicle is small). Not sure why they would elect to do so, as air induction on something as delicate as the engine compressor isn't the best idea. Mind, this could be simply air induction to a starter unit, which then engages a gearbox mechanism to the drive shaft and not the compressor after all. Interesting either way. As an aside, the PLAAF not immediately adopting the FC-31 and yet it amazingly still having sufficient funds for continuous developmental improvements, is of course just another Ma-Jong play by China to keep the "West" guessing. This thing looks amazing and I suspect it will be in PLAAF inventory before we even know it happened. :)

    About FC31 looks like F35 because of the hacking... FC31 is based on Shenyang's cancelled fighter development project that were gonna assume the serial number J-14 (mostly inspired by Mig 1.44), and the development project dates back to late 80s to early 90s, and cancelled in the early 2000s (before 04)... There were already leaked photo of a test build cockpit control panel of the cancelled J-14 project around 06, and the fighter outline on the testing screen shows mixed traits of current day J-10, J-20 and FC-31... And JSF project hacking were date at 09... That means Shenyang AC have to steal the data from 09 and time travel back to around 00, so they can use the data to develop FC31... Why they even bother doing so if they can really time travel?

    Ya that’s complete BS. There are varies different shapes that can effectively reduce radar cross section and RAM definitely is a significant factor that affects radar return. A key design feature that is taken directly from the F-35 is the forward hinged canopy. Despite the engineering challenges and inefficiencies that come with that mechanism, the F-35 was designed with it because of the lift fan on the B variant. There’s no clear reason the J-31 would require it, which is why you see it’s removal in the more mature variants

    @@Bagledog5000 To start off, contrary to some popular beliefs, China will never build something that will be completely useless that would end up as a headache for their armies (look at the LCA Tejas for the IAF). This was one of the reasons for why the FC-31 got the finger from the PLAAF (PLAN too but that’s important for later), because the J-20 already suffices their needs; They don’t want to expand their influence outwards (they can’t at that time anyway), so having one gen 5 to fend off all the other gen 5s around them (like Japan and South Korea’s F-35s) as well as have an advantage over the gen 4s is enough. In fact, that was one of the main design criterions of the J-20 as well: form a power equilibrium with dominant gen 5s, dominate over gen 4s. Aside from that, China’s aviation industry need to take care of their own army first before they sell planes abroad. And when one stealth fighter was enough, why do you need another one? Not to mention the FC-31 is a mediumweight, which means a good discount on effective combat range as well as payload compared to the heavyweight J-20. It’ll also take away key resources that would have been better off if used for the J-20 instead, only for a fighter with the aforementioned shortcomings, as well as making logistic support hell (for example the FC-31 uses F404-sized engines while the entire Chinese air force at that time ran on AL-31s and WS-10s). And second, about why the FC-31 even became a thing at all. Had it been China wanting to flex their “power” to the world, you’d expect them to dunk wads of cash for Shenyang’s FC-31, but of course they didn’t; FC-31 was privately funded. Why? Remember that the J-20 program was also born from a competition like the F-22, and Shenyang got the boot like Northrop with their YF-23. **The FC-31 materialized so that Shenyang won’t fall behind on technology knowhow.** They won’t be living off Flanker money forever, and they know that. Although the FC-31 also got the boot from the air force, the time is upon them now. Shenyang persisted, iterating the FC-31’s design over and over, and they found a future for the FC-31: onboard the Type 003. In 2012, the idea that China would have catapult carriers would be a joke, but five years later… not so much. PLAN also knew they can’t live off of J-15s forever, and they needed something against F-35Cs. The J-20 wouldn’t be an option, because it’d be too big and its nature closer to a high speed fighter-interceptor won’t suit carrier ops. That’s when the FC-31 suddenly got the spotlight: it’s just the right size, has a proven design like that of the F-35, and has been iterated on enough to be a completely new plane compared to the og FC-31. That’s where it is now: the supposed J-35. I hope this gave you a good insight on how things over there works. Have a good day
