Can't understand why people think this is a copy of F22. Aerodynamics and control are FUNDAMENTALLY different for this canard and delta wing design. Only similarity is the straight edges due to stealth needs.
Yeah it is. What the hell are the two little pieces in the back that point down called? Some diffuser or somethin? Gives the plane an X look instead of a V.
They all look american copying the same design solutions. Lame. They use to be all unique looking, you could tell between russian, european and American design but not anymore. Amercan design has taken over.
@@Tonius126 it’s not really “American” It’s because it’s stealth It HAS to look like that to be stealthy And none of the Eastern designs look remotely American The European designs also look dramatically different The defusers, the cockpit, the wings, all are very different from American designs
@@Tonius126 it’s like saying the Mig 29 looks American just cause it’s 4th gen Every generation of fighters look similar, because they all have similar goals Early jets all look pretty similar, the Mig 15 and F-86 look almost exactly the same if you arnt paying attention The Mig 21 and F-4 are probably the most pronounced jet designs Idk what you are talking about
Lookup China's Tofu-dreg buildings. They look like buildings, but their construction was so shortcutted, they are extremely subpar on construction standard. China made those buildings look good to convince everyone they were built well as they appeared. Not to mention China did gain access to the F-22 blueprints. Going on past history, I'd say your Chinese variation looks nice, but what matters is what you can't see.
Your skeleton is very similar to mine, are you my child, the child born to my mistress outside? Because your bones are so similar to us humans, you copied my genes, and my mistress gave birth to you? Yes, you are my child 😂😂🤣🤣
As long as the skeleton is the same as mine, they are all my children, by the way, Westerners are all children born to my mistress, because Westerners copy my genes, otherwise how can they be so similar to me, by the way, they must have copied my genes, they stole my genes, otherwise why are the body size so similar 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 to me So Westerners are my children 🤪🤪🤪
If you really study the history of Chinese Warplane development, you could trace back the aerodynamic design to J9, which was developed in the 70s, earlier than MIG1.44 (2000s), and the designer of J20, Yang Wei, is the student of the Designer of J9 and J10, he inherited the design philosophy
The DSI design is not stolen from the F-35, China already had DSI bumps in the export FC-1 fighters sold to Pakistan in the early 2000s before the first F-35 flew
China has been using the DSI since the JF-17, saying it is ignorant of aviation industry technology to copy the F35. The J20's canard is flush with the main wing, unlike the canard of current 4th generation fighters, and has the same stealth impact as the F22's horizontal tail.
The J-20s role was never to intercept F-22s and F-35s, they were designed to take-down AWACS and Oil Tankers/Refuelers hence, the long fuselage since it stores more missiles and fuel. Moreover, they were designed to fly longer since it's dedicated to fight in the Pacific Ocean where nearby landmasses are far away. Furthermore, a key design in the J-20 are its canards. The canards are for short take-off and landing since the Chinese government is expecting that at the early stages of a war in the Pacific, the US can send in hundreds of cruise missiles from nearby warships, bombers, and cargo aircrafts effectively saturating military targets and runways. Because of this, they designed the J-20 with canards to take-off and land with limited runway.
@@polls. taking down AWACS and aerial refuelers would cripple any fleet in the vastness of the Pacific ocean, the Chinese had solid plans for this thing but it didn’t seems like they had a technological edge over the American since the F-35 and a few other fighters can act as an AWACS too. But still, crippling the aerial refueling fleet and AWACS would put a lot of the technological edge of the West into the dumpster but the West are too aware of this and hence why we are stuck in a new arms race.
Canards don’t help with take-off but they can help with landing. For taking off you need thrust and wing loading. The main use of canards is to create stability in high speed, high AOA situations. It’s a band aid that address poor lifting body airflow and poor wing design.
Canards does not guarantee that a fighter has short take off distance. Depends on what the canards are designed to do. Depends on the placement and the loading of the canards. In the saab gripen, canards help with short take off and landing distance. In the eurofighter canards are specifically designed for manoeuvrability and does not help in take off at all.
All of a sudden, every UA-camr has become an aircraft expert with a doctor's degree in aviation, and can also calculate RCS with the naked eye. Perhaps this is the success of American public education.
😂 Typical western propoganda. J20 is better than F35 & F22 just as the Iphone can't keep up with Huawei so they had to politicize and concoct fake propoganda against Huawei.
well american youtubers still have their creativity and individuality intact. With a little bit of reading of the history of espionage it is not hard to see how the J20 came about. No different than the russian concord copy and the russian space shuttle both accomplished with stolen plans. Not to mention the boeing b29's that the soviets reverse engineered. The J20 looks like it was built by model kit bashing and a hot glue gun. But without the powerpland AND the avionics the j20 is just for parades. Oh and sure you could overwhelm a battle group by throwing 1000 of them at it but they won't be coming home.
The leak of F35 data happened in 2009, and then J-20 first flight was on January 11, 2011. So what aspects of the design can be modified in such a short time?
The plane doesn't look anything like F35. Only someone blind and with IQ 20 can say that their airframes look the same. And those pictures from the front are so misleading. Pretty much all modern jets look like that and have engines on the sides of cockpit. Big deal. Its like say BTR is a copy of a logicstic truck because they both have round wheels........
It's possible it was in regards to stealth-specific features, such as RAM (Radar Absorbent Materials) to further reduce RCS. And it's also possible that it served as inspiration in suggesting how to redesign certain features, what failed on the F-22 and F-35 designs, etc. Why make the same mistakes someone already made for you? Stealth capabilities don't particularly matter when testing the aerodynamic abilities of an air frame
You forgot about one of the most decisive feature about the J-20: Its range. It easely outranges any other 5th gen fighter wich makes it perfect for long range intercepts and of shore sea strike missions Two things the chinese might need in a fight against high developed contries
Not just need… have you seen any Chinese tankers? Me neither… it’s a bomber from the 70’s mounted with refuel pods… in other words, they don’t have one…
@@AaronShenghao Well they have their Y-20 tanker version but only in limited numbers but if they could make more of them the circumstances might change drasticly
6 deadly PL15.. PL15 is huge due to long range travel while Aim120D is small size and short range. 8 units can ve squeeze into the F22... PL15 can kill first before the F22 or F35 can see.
People may ridicule the J-20's weaknesses and how it cannot go toe to toe with F-22A or F-35A. But they're forgetting the most important aspect and that is J-20 being China's first attempt at making combat operational stealth aircraft, and we can all agree that they made a pretty good job for the first try.
True, give it time, the slow coal fire steam engine train will become the high speed magnetic levitation train of today. I mean China doesn't need 5 years time, or 5 months, just 5 hours more.
no they didn't. they paid for stolen blue prints. i don't know who should worry more the government of China or its people getting bamboozled on this bullshit. waste of money. don't ne so desperate.
WS-15 has been tested on a J-20. However it will not go ahead until the engine is certified. Also pretty recently, the entire cockpit has been redesigned as well as the front. (Called the J-20B but is not the old J-20B)
@@蚂蚁森林-e8v ok he was aggressive calling it garbage can, but still.... It remains a bad jet... Half inspired by stolen blueprints and half filled in with weak solutions to the gaps of stolen tech, and no engine to support the thing, cause Chinese are still learning how to build them
According to PLAAF naming traditions the two-seat J20 will probably be named the J20S, with the "S" stands for 双 (shuang, means two or bi-), meaning it's a two seat version. Some examples are J10S, J11BS etc.
It is not very accurate, the J20 design was based on the J9-6-2 design in 1980. The J9 program actrually ended up in 2 design the J9-6-1 became the J10 and the heavy version of J9, the J9-6-2 eventrally became J20. There was a very interesting history behind it including a lot of Geo-Politic story and even the switch of design buro.
They'll propagandize any Chinese design as just being copied from them or a token anyway, because only they invented everything while the Chinese invented nothing as they say.
It's based off of stolen F-35 documents from a PLA hack as well as from a CCP corporate spy embedded within Lockheed Martin Canada that emailed them stolen schematics.
The relatively slender fuselage ratio of the J-20 shows its emphasis on high speed performance, but how to ensure maneuverability under high speed performance characteristics? It is necessary to carefully look at its aerodynamic design, it has 8-10 movable wings, flight control technology is extremely complex; And from nose to tail, it has a lot of lift structure. With a lift factor of >2, J-20 can guarantee a good supersonic cruise capability even without an engine like F119. It can achieve tactical maneuvers within transonic speeds that other existing fighter jets cannot achieve. The shape of F-22 aerodynamic design features, doomed to its supersonic mode, do not do fuel economy, although it has a top engine, but the endurance time, range will be greatly affected. In addition, the J-20 has a new age similar to the F35, full airframe distributed electro-optical detection system, information, larger and more advanced active phased array radar.
The aerodynamic design of fighter jets is mainly not about the appearance of certain places, but the design of all elements, using coupled canards, abandoning the horizontal tail, and meanwhile adopting a full-motion vertical tail. This is no longer feasible just by simple copycats. It greatly increased the difficulty of flight control design, so that the US always avoided using such a design. It is naïve to think that a country like China under CoCom and Wassenaar Arrangement multilateral export controls could produce a most advanced fighter by just copycat F-35's design documents. The same as it's impossible for United States to build International Space Station without the cooperation of Russia, Europe, Japan and Canada. If it's possible, then forget about those useless design documents.
To be honest the main problem with Chinese engine isn't the performance is the life span,the Chinese ws10 engine is develop from cfm56 the performance is the same as the f110-ge-135 on the early model,the one use on j-20 is while weaker then the pw f119 that the f-22 used,it is was the best in the f-110 family in terms on performance (they all base on the same core engine)btw the new ws-10 have use the technology that use on the cfm leap-x as well so the fuel efficiency isn't bad as well
It's WS-10C instead of baseline WS-10. Baseline WS-10 was used in J-10A, and never put into J-20 at any point. The early prototype J-20s used Russian AL-31 engines, which was underpowered and resulted in those early prototypes being unable to achieve supercruise. WS-10C produces greater thrust than F-22's F119, although less than F-35's F-135 (which unfortunately only use one engine instead of two, resulting in by far the lowest plane performance of the trio, it would've been a monster in a twin engine fighter). WS-10C is only temporary, slated to be replaced by WS-15, the engine originally intended for J-20 but fell behind schedule. As for life span, WS-10 family historically lasted longer flight hours than Russian engines, but shorter than western engines. One of the reasons WS-15 is so far behind schedule is due to the Chinese unwilling to develop along Russian titanium based line, instead opting for more difficult composite route similar to western engines. The added maintenance and replacement isn't worth the quick cheap development in the long run.
@@georgedang449 that's why I said the later version use the technology of the CFM Leap x to improve the fuel efficiency, that's the ws-10C btw 147kn isn't that bad.

Laying something really quick, the photo on 00:46 was made by a Chinese military fan few years before the maiden flight of J20 prototype 2001. Its totally finctional and the creater actully just laying MIG 1.44’s edge on his artwork. I saw his comment on bilibili with this image that he created. With some reliable source, J20’s designed role has many similarity with the previous J9 V and J9 VI project.
The aerodynamic design of J20 was really heavily based on the J9VI-II wind tunnel model back to the 1976 as a part of the J9 project (which was cancelled due to the lack of fund and no access to an equivalent engine), not mig 1.44. Even if the PLA was indeed bankrupt af back in those days, it still had access to one of the most capable wind tunnels in the world. The 611 institution which designed J10 and J20 basically figured out all of the currently-using VLO/LO designs and evaluated the corresponding performance and feasibility in the early 90s. But the PLAAF wasn't really determined to a 5(4)th gen aircarft by then for its lack of fund and motivation. It had more interest to a 4.5(3.5)th gen one based on the Flanker aerodynamic design so the Shenyang Aircarft Industry which produces the license-manufacturing Su27SK would easily produce the 4.5th gen fighter in a large quantity (which later became the J16 project). As for the whole 5th gen plan, it really started in the late 90s, when the 611 institution had already worked out the aerodynamic design but hadn't yet completed the avionics system and stealth technology. Its rivalry, the 601 institution which later designed the J16 also came up with the J14 "Snow Owl" design but failed the bid. As for the canard, I can find a thousand open-source papers about whether it will harm the RCS with different conclusions. If there's one thing I can really conclude with all these above, it's DO NOT CALCULATE THE RCS WITH YOUR NAKED EYES.
Definitely no viable calculation of RCS with naked eyes. Cuz just by looking at F35 one would think that all those goose bumps would make it less stealth than F22, but in fact, due to the development of computer simulations of stealth characteristics of contoured surfaces over the decades more rounded surfaces could be incorporated into a fighter without compromising any stealth as seen on F117 vs B2 or B21. F35 is definitely not less stealthy than F22
@@franksun4017 Indeed, and people tend to ignore the development of composite material for stealth and the avionics system, which also contributes to lower RCS in the real conflict.
Any surface can reflect radio waves. Any extra surface just increases the chances of this happening. A plane with canards will never be as stealthy as the same plane without it. The key is determining if the performance benefit outweighs the increase in RCS. Stealth coatings and CAD can reduce the chances of being detected, but the canards are not helping lower the RCS by any means. Add in modern AESA radar and the J20 will be tracked before it ever knows an F22 is in the air and that isn't even including the advances made in the AIM 260.
@@stephenhood2948 You have to take into consideration that there is nothing important inside the canard wings. The entirety of the canard wings could be made out of composite that’s more transparent to certain radar frequencies, similar how putting a cover on a radar doesn’t make it blind. Canards are not extra surfaces, F22 has stabilizers too, it’s just that if the radar wave is coming from the front, it would be covered by the wings. If waves come from the side or the rear, it would still be present. The main reason why people have the concept of canard being not stealth, is because usually they are placed higher than the main wings creating reflection zones and that they most certainly creates right angles with the fuselages evidently seen on something like a J10 or Saab gripen. Neither of these traits are seen on J20, and canards on J20 are in fact made out of some type of unspecified composite.
@@franksun4017 You cannot escape the fact that it is an extra surface to reflect radio emissions. I'm not saying that a plane with canards cannot have a low radar cross section, I am saying if you have 2 identical planes, one with canards, one without, the one without will have a smaller RCS, even if it is a very small amount of difference. Factoring in new AESA radars and it only compounds this problem.
There was no Mig 1.44 at all. The J-20 used the existing design from their J-9 back in the 60s and 70s, and made it into a stealth aircraft with F-22 as the base configuration with a frontal intake similar to the F-35.
I'm more of an American aircraft enthusiast, however I do believe and agree the J-20 is no what many thought at first. Would be interesting to see your take on the J-31, I personally like that plane's looks :D
@@LordEmperorHyperion Yeah, NGAD and F/Xx are also coming soon. The B21 Raider is already here. All of them will show the world why American was, is and always will be the leader in Stealth.

The sword is always going to outpace the shield. With dozens of nations using 35s and all modern nations pursuing stealth capabilities, radars are going to start putting out more and more energy until a .01m cross section looks like a Christmas tree. Nevermind IR and optical systems, tomcat optical cameras could apparently see fighters 50 miles away and that was in the 80s god knows what they can do now.
Honestly I think the aerodynamic design is pretty original, it doesn’t looks like any 5th gen fighter, or any fighter actually. The delta wing design is probably borrowing experience from J-10, rather than the Mig.
i mean, we have some pretty strong proof that it is in fact copied from US fighters. if you look at it from the direct front, then its almost identical looking to the F35, minus the canards of course. this isnt exactly coincidence, because a while back, a chinese hacker/spy living in iirc canada managed to steal copies of i believe 600,000 documents including, wait for it, du dududuuuuuuuuu, THE BLUEPRINTS FOR F35. those are just a couple of things, theres a few more i believe
They are certainly a lot of ... 'inspirations' (it just a fact for China in general, even they didn't shy away from it) but we can't denial Chinese advancement in aerospace either. Sure they didn't at the level of US yet but they are closing the gap. Better future than Russian one anyway.
Actually the most critical views of J-20 are of Chinese ex-pats..They actually raise more interesting concrete counter points that aren't in western media reportings,like info coming from inside of China itself .
Something that isn't often featured: their naval attack aspect. These aircraft are to challenge american carrier groups and would probably mostly carry anti ship missiles in their role. They are not purebred air superiority fighters like the F-22
Yeah but they been flying these in four ship formations at air shows and pulling sick maneuvers. It’s air superiority aspect can only grow as better avionics are developed
@dukeofwar1003 Precisely. China knows any war with the United States would primarily be one taking place in the Pacific ocean around their home turf, and the exceptionally long range of the J-20 makes it very well suited for those operations.
That and interception of high value air targets (in-air refueling and AWACS). The doctrine they seem designed for isn't to get into fights with F-22s and F-35s (whether dogfights or BVR), it's to deny the US the ability to operate them near China in the first place.
The PL-15, which adopts radar active detection, has a large detection distance and has an anti-jamming data link. At the same time, it is equipped with a dual-pulse solid rocket motor to effectively expand its range. In view of the fact that the PL-15 bomb is 6 meters long, there are two versions of its range. One says that its range is 200 kilometers, and the other says that its range exceeds 300 kilometers, and it can even reach 400 kilometers. Regarding the range of PL-15, the two opinions are too different. Therefore, the range of the real PL-15 air-to-air missile is of course only known by our Air Force. The outside world’s statement can only be guesswork, and it is only for interested readers. For reference only. Even if the PL-15 has a range of 300-400 kilometers, even if it has a range of 200 kilometers, it should be the air-to-air missile with the largest range in the world. The U.S. Air Force believes that the PL-15 can have a range of up to 200 kilometers by adding a ramjet engine. It is already an AIM-120D medium and long-range air-to-air missile with a range of 150 kilometers far exceeding that of the US Air Force.
According to Taiwan and some military analysts, PL15 & 20 have range well exceeding 200km, likely 300km or more which forces US rush to develop new long range AAM. They claimed Chinese limitation is their fighter radar range at some 200km, although already one of furthest. But recently China might has developed new AESA radar with longer range multi frequency phase array radar, supported by AWACS powerful range able to better utilize its PL15 BVR 300~400km range.
According to who? The chinese military? As if they would tell us the true specs. No military in the world would do that. They make you think that they have that performance, but the actual one is a secret.
If others did the same, you'd call it "copy" or "steal". But, if you did the same, you'd call it "borrow" or "see eye to eye". Such as B-2, is it a "copy" or a "borrow" of Horton 229 in your eyes.
@Frank Sun When China finalizes the design there will be hundreds of them in less than five years time like the J-20 but they won't have to wait for domestic engines
2 engines will not facilitate mass production though. Look at what happened with the MiG-29 vs F-16. When you add stealth, AESA, and 2 engines, it requires substantial amounts of resource allocation that can't just be wished into existence. With China being cut-off from even the lower mid-grade Semiconductor technology, they're going to struggle with installing any kind of relevant sensor suite in the FC-31/J-35.
@LRRPFco52 Your argument would only be an issue if we were discussing the American aircraft industry in reality the PLAA has proven themselves to be especially resourceful in the development of the J-20. This precedence means the FC-31 will probably be put into serial production with little issues. The current firepower of the PLA makes a prospective invasion of Taiwan likely; couple this with Americans' inability to act during the invasion of Ukraine, there's nothing stopping China from annexing Taiwan. If they pull that off, they'll have access to enough semi conductors to make as many avionics suites as they'd like. Taiwan has a pretty bare bones airforce anyway
Since 6th gen fighters are likely shifting away from maneuverability, I suppose J20 has the most extensive aerodynamic surfaces. 0:20 very futuristic looking
@bixudiwon6363 they don't build anywhere near 50 per year. It's more likely to be closer to 15 or 20 . So they may be pushing 300, which is quite the fleet compared to the rest of the world.
Many commentators originally stated that the J20 was a 'vast' aircraft and 'way too big to handle well in a dogfight!', ignoring the fact that it's smaller than an SU 35S.....which can hang with pretty much any fighter in a close in dogfight.....lol Newer versions have been hinted at with the appearance of prototypes with thrust vectoring engine nozzles....which may or may not be adopted for serial production. The WS10 engine is replacing Russian engines while the WS15 (a more advanced engine with greater thrust) is nearing completion development-wise. That is supposed to be the definitive engine for the plane and will allow supercruising ability..... It has the range to be a viable interceptor (given China's huge land mass) and could work in the maritime strike role too.....with long range anti ship missiles
@@Finkaisar not really, there have been studies that show that whenever 2 stealth aircraft engage it almost always ends up in WVR combat or as it's better known, a dogfight, there's a reason the US gave both of it's 5th gens rather excellent dogfighting ability.

The j20 and f22 look alike because they face the same aerodynamic constraints and stealth requirements, just as dolphins and fish have evolved to adapt to the same ocean environment. Moreover, each type of fighter jet is different because of its use requirements, mission mission, and design, so that what looks very similar is actually completely different. You can't go around copying parts of other aircraft and putting them together to make a working aircraft. It's systems engineering. It's not as simple as you think. I guess the youtubers are experts in aerodynamics and after careful study they will say that Chinese planes are stolen and copied junk.
A modern army that guards peace as strong as any, even the enemy will respect them! Chinese people are not as aggressive as Japanese people. In history, whenever Japan became independent and powerful internally, it would start to invade and expand, occupying neighboring countries. This was proven several times in history. Since the Tang Dynasty, Japan began to invade Korea after completing its internal unification, but was defeated by the allied forces of Korea and Tang. Since the Ming Dynasty, it began to invade Korea, mainland China, and Ryukyu again. Later, it started to expand crazily until World War II, successively occupying Korea, Taiwan, most of mainland China, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, and even the northern part of Australia, killing tens of millions of people.
@mydogluka7164 100%, but the US would not and will not tolerate modern Japan invading its nieghbors today .

Never doubt Chinese Engineering. They normally surprise you with their capabilities. And copied or not copied. They made it and it delivers. That's all that matters.
The J-20 is designed to conform to Chinese military aviation doctrine, not western doctrine. The best way to evaluate the J-20 is for its intended role within Chinese doctrine, as any other evaluation would be less relevant.
The F-22's engines aren't proven to work with DSI airflow (yeah great stealth with those splitter plates instead) or powering as much avionics around its body.

No padezco la ignorancia de creer que China está atrasada, he conocido sus automóviles eléctricos, los autobuses que usamos son de BYD, mi teléfono, mis gadgets, mi automóvil de uso diario son todos fabricados en China y de compañías Chinas. También he conocido mucha gente China sofisticada, académica, que habla varios idiomas, a mi no me cabe ninguna de que la tecnología militar china es impresionante. Pero creo que las animaciones son el estilo del vlogger y es una forma de homenaje.
The fact is that countries have been stealing military tech from one another for centuries. It's just what countries do. So China is doing what is expected. But people talk about it as if it's rare or unusual. China takes engineering cues from other countries and improves on the final product. The J-20 is remarkable today, and it will be world-leading in the future.
It is ridiculous when people keep saying that china copy US’s technology. If you have done an engineering project before, you know how hard it is to create a product just by copying. Even though you claim china stole the technology, but without the proper help from the creator, it is even harder than just start your own one from scratch. And I’m pretty sure US is not that type of kind dude. One tiny wrong number will cause days to figure out and fix. You can only develop a beautiful jet through countless experiments and hard work. Regarding the shape, yes, you can find similarities among many planes. But I mean, what else can you do as late joiner. It is like given all that many car models out there, whatever you make you will definitely find some patterns that match the existing models. However, to really make a good jet, it can only be done through countless wind tunnel test. If you read the news that how heavily china invest in infrastructure, you should have some idea why they can catch up in such a short time.
@@Cerberus-vp5ld you clearly don’t have the concept of trade, do you? You sold your technology to me, do you call that steal? Let alone US has the biggest and most advance hacker army in the world. Guess who hacked Merkel’s phone?
The J-20 boasts a maximum altitude of 66,000 feet, outperforming the F-35's ceiling of 50,000 feet. It's worth noting that the F-35 lacks certain inherent capabilities, as it was designed primarily to counter rogue nations and insurgent groups rather than engage in decisive conflicts between superpowers. In contrast, the J-20 has the capacity to detect stealth fighters like the F-35, capitalizing on their vulnerability when situated below the observer's line of sight. Armed with 8 long-range PL-15 missiles, each capable of engaging targets up to 400 kilometers away, the J-20 possesses a strategic advantage not currently present in the F-35's weaponry. In essence, the J-20 was conceived to disrupt the operational chain of the US military. Its intended targets encompass Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW) assets, refueling tankers, and large transport planes. Contrary to engaging in extended-range aerial combat or dogfights against the F-35, the J-20's purpose is oriented towards dismantling these crucial components of the US military kill chains. China's air defense strategy incorporates a fusion of AEW assets and aircraft such as the J-16D, J-11, and J-15 to establish air superiority. Given the US's heavy reliance on AEW, tanker, and transport capabilities, their absence diminish the significance of the sheer quantity of F-35s in a conflict scenario. US could prevail by striking China in first round using an awful load of Nukes and It is beyond my power to predict what US will receive as feedback as result of doing this.
You do realize that none of the F-35s real capabilities are public knowledge? Arguing maximum ceiling of an F-35 is like arguing maximum speed of a Nimitz Carrier or maximum depth of a Virginia class submarine. It's 100% top secret and we honestly don't know.

In my mind no self-defense jet needs to be stealthy, it’s only needed for invading countries. But at the same time, stealth is needed at BVR, so maybe it’s still needed in assuming the bombers have escorts…
Self-Defense Jets have to be stealthy, for the fact that self-defense jet fighters would be constantly downed by stealth fighters. It's quite silly to think that you shouldn't have stealth aircrafts because they are for invaders, while those aircrafts can be used for self defense and can save more lives than using non-stealth fighters. Only fools think that stealth fighters can only be invading aircrafts and nothing else.
With today's technology a self defence aircraft is worthless without stealth. Invading force will see them scramble and by the time they are on an intercept heading missiles are locked and you have smoke in the air. The defenders are scattered at a disadvantage, enemy is still BVR and can't be locked. Now if the defenders are stealthy as well, the playing field is level again. Also designing a "self defence" fighter is as much as a fallacy than giving a soldier a "self defence rifle". A fighter is a fighter, an interceptor an interceptor, and striker a striker, regardless of the "role" it is meant to be filled.
5:00, the F-35 can carry up to 6 AIM-120s internaly as well as 2000lb bombs (as shown in the image you displayed) Thus F-35 can carry more Fox 3s than the J-20 Internally.

I can tell you for definite that the overall airframe itself is not a copy of neither the F-22, nor the F-35. Even GA pilots with the slightest knowledge on FAA subjects such as aerodynamic and Weight and Balance can tell you an aircraft with a canard wing design does not behave anyway the same as a conventional one. Meaning the reinforcement structure will have to be place differently, your fly by wire has to be programmed in a way suitable for canard and that couldn’t have been done without extensive testing and research. I do believe however the sensor suite and other weapon control system could have been stolen since the Chinese are much less experienced in the electronic warfare sphere and that was the only way to get ahead.
Can't understand why people think this is a copy of F22. Aerodynamics and control are FUNDAMENTALLY different for this canard and delta wing design. Only similarity is the straight edges due to stealth needs.

The J-20s role was never to intercept F-22s and F-35s, they were designed to take-down AWACS and Oil Tankers/Refuelers hence, the long fuselage since it stores more missiles and fuel. Moreover, they were designed to fly longer since it's dedicated to fight in the Pacific Ocean where nearby landmasses are far away.
Furthermore, a key design in the J-20 are its canards. The canards are for short take-off and landing since the Chinese government is expecting that at the early stages of a war in the Pacific, the US can send in hundreds of cruise missiles from nearby warships, bombers, and cargo aircrafts effectively saturating military targets and runways. Because of this, they designed the J-20 with canards to take-off and land with limited runway.
So what does China have against stealth jets?
Canards will not help you take off small runways.
The J20 is long and small cowards will not produce enough lift to make a short take off.
@@polls. taking down AWACS and aerial refuelers would cripple any fleet in the vastness of the Pacific ocean, the Chinese had solid plans for this thing but it didn’t seems like they had a technological edge over the American since the F-35 and a few other fighters can act as an AWACS too. But still, crippling the aerial refueling fleet and AWACS would put a lot of the technological edge of the West into the dumpster but the West are too aware of this and hence why we are stuck in a new arms race.
Canards don’t help with take-off but they can help with landing. For taking off you need thrust and wing loading. The main use of canards is to create stability in high speed, high AOA situations. It’s a band aid that address poor lifting body airflow and poor wing design.
Canards does not guarantee that a fighter has short take off distance.
Depends on what the canards are designed to do. Depends on the placement and the loading of the canards.
In the saab gripen, canards help with short take off and landing distance.
In the eurofighter canards are specifically designed for manoeuvrability and does not help in take off at all.
All of a sudden, every UA-camr has become an aircraft expert with a doctor's degree in aviation, and can also calculate RCS with the naked eye. Perhaps this is the success of American public education.

The J20 looks like it was built by model kit bashing and a hot glue gun. But without the powerpland AND the avionics the j20 is just for parades. Oh and sure you could overwhelm a battle group by throwing 1000 of them at it but they won't be coming home.
The leak of F35 data happened in 2009, and then J-20 first flight was on January 11, 2011. So what aspects of the design can be modified in such a short time?
The plane doesn't look anything like F35. Only someone blind and with IQ 20 can say that their airframes look the same. And those pictures from the front are so misleading.

It's possible it was in regards to stealth-specific features, such as RAM (Radar Absorbent Materials) to further reduce RCS. And it's also possible that it served as inspiration in suggesting how to redesign certain features, what failed on the F-22 and F-35 designs, etc. Why make the same mistakes someone already made for you?
Stealth capabilities don't particularly matter when testing the aerodynamic abilities of an air frame
You forgot about one of the most decisive feature about the J-20:
Its range. It easely outranges any other 5th gen fighter wich makes it perfect for long range intercepts and of shore sea strike missions

The relatively slender fuselage ratio of the J-20 shows its emphasis on high speed performance, but how to ensure maneuverability under high speed performance characteristics? It is necessary to carefully look at its aerodynamic design, it has 8-10 movable wings, flight control technology is extremely complex; And from nose to tail, it has a lot of lift structure. With a lift factor of >2, J-20 can guarantee a good supersonic cruise capability even without an engine like F119. It can achieve tactical maneuvers within transonic speeds that other existing fighter jets cannot achieve. The shape of F-22 aerodynamic design features, doomed to its supersonic mode, do not do fuel economy, although it has a top engine, but the endurance time, range will be greatly affected. In addition, the J-20 has a new age similar to the F35, full airframe distributed electro-optical detection system, information, larger and more advanced active phased array radar.
The aerodynamic design of fighter jets is mainly not about the appearance of certain places, but the design of all elements, using coupled canards, abandoning the horizontal tail, and meanwhile adopting a full-motion vertical tail. This is no longer feasible just by simple copycats. It greatly increased the difficulty of flight control design, so that the US always avoided using such a design. It is naïve to think that a country like China under CoCom and Wassenaar Arrangement multilateral export controls could produce a most advanced fighter by just copycat F-35's design documents. The same as it's impossible for United States to build International Space Station without the cooperation of Russia, Europe, Japan and Canada. If it's possible, then forget about those useless design documents.

To be honest the main problem with Chinese engine isn't the performance is the life span,the Chinese ws10 engine is develop from cfm56 the performance is the same as the f110-ge-135 on the early model,the one use on j-20 is while weaker then the pw f119 that the f-22 used,it is was the best in the f-110 family in terms on performance (they all base on the same core engine)btw the new ws-10 have use the technology that use on the cfm leap-x as well so the fuel efficiency isn't bad as well
It's WS-10C instead of baseline WS-10. Baseline WS-10 was used in J-10A, and never put into J-20 at any point. The early prototype J-20s used Russian AL-31 engines, which was underpowered and resulted in those early prototypes being unable to achieve supercruise. WS-10C produces greater thrust than F-22's F119, although less than F-35's F-135 (which unfortunately only use one engine instead of two, resulting in by far the lowest plane performance of the trio, it would've been a monster in a twin engine fighter). WS-10C is only temporary, slated to be replaced by WS-15, the engine originally intended for J-20 but fell behind schedule. As for life span, WS-10 family historically lasted longer flight hours than Russian engines, but shorter than western engines. One of the reasons WS-15 is so far behind schedule is due to the Chinese unwilling to develop along Russian titanium based line, instead opting for more difficult composite route similar to western engines. The added maintenance and replacement isn't worth the quick cheap development in the long run.

Laying something really quick, the photo on 00:46 was made by a Chinese military fan few years before the maiden flight of J20 prototype 2001. Its totally finctional and the creater actully just laying MIG 1.44’s edge on his artwork. I saw his comment on bilibili with this image that he created. With some reliable source, J20’s designed role has many similarity with the previous J9 V and J9 VI project.
The aerodynamic design of J20 was really heavily based on the J9VI-II wind tunnel model back to the 1976 as a part of the J9 project (which was cancelled due to the lack of fund and no access to an equivalent engine), not mig 1.44.
Even if the PLA was indeed bankrupt af back in those days, it still had access to one of the most capable wind tunnels in the world. The 611 institution which designed J10 and J20 basically figured out all of the currently-using VLO/LO designs and evaluated the corresponding performance and feasibility in the early 90s. But the PLAAF wasn't really determined to a 5(4)th gen aircarft by then for its lack of fund and motivation. It had more interest to a 4.5(3.5)th gen one based on the Flanker aerodynamic design so the Shenyang Aircarft Industry which produces the license-manufacturing Su27SK would easily produce the 4.5th gen fighter in a large quantity (which later became the J16 project).
As for the whole 5th gen plan, it really started in the late 90s, when the 611 institution had already worked out the aerodynamic design but hadn't yet completed the avionics system and stealth technology. Its rivalry, the 601 institution which later designed the J16 also came up with the J14 "Snow Owl" design but failed the bid.
As for the canard, I can find a thousand open-source papers about whether it will harm the RCS with different conclusions. If there's one thing I can really conclude with all these above, it's DO NOT CALCULATE THE RCS WITH YOUR NAKED EYES.
Definitely no viable calculation of RCS with naked eyes. Cuz just by looking at F35 one would think that all those goose bumps would make it less stealth than F22, but in fact, due to the development of computer simulations of stealth characteristics of contoured surfaces over the decades more rounded surfaces could be incorporated into a fighter without compromising any stealth as seen on F117 vs B2 or B21. F35 is definitely not less stealthy than F22
@@franksun4017 Indeed, and people tend to ignore the development of composite material for stealth and the avionics system, which also contributes to lower RCS in the real conflict.
Any surface can reflect radio waves. Any extra surface just increases the chances of this happening. A plane with canards will never be as stealthy as the same plane without it. The key is determining if the performance benefit outweighs the increase in RCS. Stealth coatings and CAD can reduce the chances of being detected, but the canards are not helping lower the RCS by any means. Add in modern AESA radar and the J20 will be tracked before it ever knows an F22 is in the air and that isn't even including the advances made in the AIM 260.
@@stephenhood2948 You have to take into consideration that there is nothing important inside the canard wings. The entirety of the canard wings could be made out of composite that’s more transparent to certain radar frequencies, similar how putting a cover on a radar doesn’t make it blind. Canards are not extra surfaces, F22 has stabilizers too, it’s just that if the radar wave is coming from the front, it would be covered by the wings. If waves come from the side or the rear, it would still be present. The main reason why people have the concept of canard being not stealth, is because usually they are placed higher than the main wings creating reflection zones and that they most certainly creates right angles with the fuselages evidently seen on something like a J10 or Saab gripen. Neither of these traits are seen on J20, and canards on J20 are in fact made out of some type of unspecified composite.
@@franksun4017 You cannot escape the fact that it is an extra surface to reflect radio emissions. I'm not saying that a plane with canards cannot have a low radar cross section, I am saying if you have 2 identical planes, one with canards, one without, the one without will have a smaller RCS, even if it is a very small amount of difference. Factoring in new AESA radars and it only compounds this problem.
There was no Mig 1.44 at all. The J-20 used the existing design from their J-9 back in the 60s and 70s, and made it into a stealth aircraft with F-22 as the base configuration with a frontal intake similar to the F-35.

The sword is always going to outpace the shield. With dozens of nations using 35s and all modern nations pursuing stealth capabilities, radars are going to start putting out more and more energy until a .01m cross section looks like a Christmas tree. Nevermind IR and optical systems, tomcat optical cameras could apparently see fighters 50 miles away and that was in the 80s god knows what they can do now.
Honestly I think the aerodynamic design is pretty original, it doesn’t looks like any 5th gen fighter, or any fighter actually. The delta wing design is probably borrowing experience from J-10, rather than the Mig.
i mean, we have some pretty strong proof that it is in fact copied from US fighters. if you look at it from the direct front, then its almost identical looking to the F35, minus the canards of course. this isnt exactly coincidence, because a while back, a chinese hacker/spy living in iirc canada managed to steal copies of i believe 600,000 documents including, wait for it, du dududuuuuuuuuu, THE BLUEPRINTS FOR F35. those are just a couple of things, theres a few more i believe

@dukeofwar1003
Precisely.
China knows any war with the United States would primarily be one taking place in the Pacific ocean around their home turf, and the exceptionally long range of the J-20 makes it very well suited for those operations.
That and interception of high value air targets (in-air refueling and AWACS). The doctrine they seem designed for isn't to get into fights with F-22s and F-35s (whether dogfights or BVR), it's to deny the US the ability to operate them near China in the first place.

This channel is on productivity steroids ,well done 👍
The PL-15, which adopts radar active detection, has a large detection distance and has an anti-jamming data link. At the same time, it is equipped with a dual-pulse solid rocket motor to effectively expand its range.
In view of the fact that the PL-15 bomb is 6 meters long, there are two versions of its range. One says that its range is 200 kilometers, and the other says that its range exceeds 300 kilometers, and it can even reach 400 kilometers.
Regarding the range of PL-15, the two opinions are too different. Therefore, the range of the real PL-15 air-to-air missile is of course only known by our Air Force. The outside world’s statement can only be guesswork, and it is only for interested readers. For reference only.
Even if the PL-15 has a range of 300-400 kilometers, even if it has a range of 200 kilometers, it should be the air-to-air missile with the largest range in the world. The U.S. Air Force believes that the PL-15 can have a range of up to 200 kilometers by adding a ramjet engine. It is already an AIM-120D medium and long-range air-to-air missile with a range of 150 kilometers far exceeding that of the US Air Force.
Do you know why you have three different ranges? Because the tests were done incorrectly.
According to Taiwan and some military analysts, PL15 & 20 have range well exceeding 200km, likely 300km or more which forces US rush to develop new long range AAM.
They claimed Chinese limitation is their fighter radar range at some 200km, although already one of furthest. But recently China might has developed new AESA radar with longer range multi frequency phase array radar, supported by AWACS powerful range able to better utilize its PL15 BVR 300~400km range.
Saying in a easier way, about 20% to 30% more than AIM 120D
According to who?
The chinese military?
As if they would tell us the true specs. No military in the world would do that.
They make you think that they have that performance, but the actual one is a secret.
@@edenjung9816 the usaf itself stated so, so is that enough for you doubters?
If others did the same, you'd call it "copy" or "steal". But, if you did the same, you'd call it "borrow" or "see eye to eye". Such as B-2, is it a "copy" or a "borrow" of Horton 229 in your eyes.
The FC-31 which is usually ignored has undergone a substantial amount of design changes in the last half decade
3 iterations so far I believe, and it’s not even deployed yet
@Frank Sun When China finalizes the design there will be hundreds of them in less than five years time like the J-20 but they won't have to wait for domestic engines
2 engines will not facilitate mass production though. Look at what happened with the MiG-29 vs F-16.
When you add stealth, AESA, and 2 engines, it requires substantial amounts of resource allocation that can't just be wished into existence.
With China being cut-off from even the lower mid-grade Semiconductor technology, they're going to struggle with installing any kind of relevant sensor suite in the FC-31/J-35.
@LRRPFco52 Your argument would only be an issue if we were discussing the American aircraft industry in reality the PLAA has proven themselves to be especially resourceful in the development of the J-20. This precedence means the FC-31 will probably be put into serial production with little issues. The current firepower of the PLA makes a prospective invasion of Taiwan likely; couple this with Americans' inability to act during the invasion of Ukraine, there's nothing stopping China from annexing Taiwan. If they pull that off, they'll have access to enough semi conductors to make as many avionics suites as they'd like. Taiwan has a pretty bare bones airforce anyway

China hasn't been in war for over 50 years
Too bad that China had never fought in actual conflict over 60 years...
China is the only other country to actually field a fifth gen fighter in any numbers it's said to have around 200
200 is what already built (50/year). 450-500 is the target.
@bixudiwon6363 they don't build anywhere near 50 per year. It's more likely to be closer to 15 or 20 .
So they may be pushing 300, which is quite the fleet compared to the rest of the world.
@@josephsmith6777 based on flight serial number , it should have about 200 in service.
Many commentators originally stated that the J20 was a 'vast' aircraft and 'way too big to handle well in a dogfight!', ignoring the fact that it's smaller than an SU 35S.....which can hang with pretty much any fighter in a close in dogfight.....lol
Newer versions have been hinted at with the appearance of prototypes with thrust vectoring engine nozzles....which may or may not be adopted for serial production.
The WS10 engine is replacing Russian engines while the WS15 (a more advanced engine with greater thrust) is nearing completion development-wise. That is supposed to be the definitive engine for the plane and will allow supercruising ability.....
It has the range to be a viable interceptor (given China's huge land mass) and could work in the maritime strike role too.....with long range anti ship missiles
Doesn't the WS10 have a bad habit of flameout and also a high maintenance cost per flight hour.
Since you talk about dogfighting with 5th fighters, its obvious you know nothing
@chuggs Right? In order for it to do well in dog fights it must also have a time machine built in where that type of combat is still relevant.
@@Finkaisar not really, there have been studies that show that whenever 2 stealth aircraft engage it almost always ends up in WVR combat or as it's better known, a dogfight, there's a reason the US gave both of it's 5th gens rather excellent dogfighting ability.

The j20 and f22 look alike because they face the same aerodynamic constraints and stealth requirements, just as dolphins and fish have evolved to adapt to the same ocean environment. Moreover, each type of fighter jet is different because of its use requirements, mission mission, and design, so that what looks very similar is actually completely different. You can't go around copying parts of other aircraft and putting them together to make a working aircraft. It's systems engineering. It's not as simple as you think. I guess the youtubers are experts in aerodynamics and after careful study they will say that Chinese planes are stolen and copied junk.

A modern army that guards peace as strong as any, even the enemy will respect them! Chinese people are not as aggressive as Japanese people. In history, whenever Japan became independent and powerful internally, it would start to invade and expand, occupying neighboring countries. This was proven several times in history. Since the Tang Dynasty, Japan began to invade Korea after completing its internal unification, but was defeated by the allied forces of Korea and Tang. Since the Ming Dynasty, it began to invade Korea, mainland China, and Ryukyu again. Later, it started to expand crazily until World War II, successively occupying Korea, Taiwan, most of mainland China, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, and even the northern part of Australia, killing tens of millions of people.

It is ridiculous when people keep saying that china copy US’s technology. If you have done an engineering project before, you know how hard it is to create a product just by copying.

Love how arrogant we Americans are about china saying we're the best. We're not even close to the best.
China's good at one thing: Propaganda
The J-20 boasts a maximum altitude of 66,000 feet, outperforming the F-35's ceiling of 50,000 feet. It's worth noting that the F-35 lacks certain inherent capabilities, as it was designed primarily to counter rogue nations and insurgent groups rather than engage in decisive conflicts between superpowers. In contrast, the J-20 has the capacity to detect stealth fighters like the F-35, capitalizing on their vulnerability when situated below the observer's line of sight. Armed with 8 long-range PL-15 missiles, each capable of engaging targets up to 400 kilometers away, the J-20 possesses a strategic advantage not currently present in the F-35's weaponry.
In essence, the J-20 was conceived to disrupt the operational chain of the US military. Its intended targets encompass Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW) assets, refueling tankers, and large transport planes. Contrary to engaging in extended-range aerial combat or dogfights against the F-35, the J-20's purpose is oriented towards dismantling these crucial components of the US military kill chains. China's air defense strategy incorporates a fusion of AEW assets and aircraft such as the J-16D, J-11, and J-15 to establish air superiority. Given the US's heavy reliance on AEW, tanker, and transport capabilities, their absence diminish the significance of the sheer quantity of F-35s in a conflict scenario.
US could prevail by striking China in first round using an awful load of Nukes and It is beyond my power to predict what US will receive as feedback as result of doing this.
You do realize that none of the F-35s real capabilities are public knowledge? Arguing maximum ceiling of an F-35 is like arguing maximum speed of a Nimitz Carrier or maximum depth of a Virginia class submarine.
It's 100% top secret and we honestly don't know.

In my mind no self-defense jet needs to be stealthy, it’s only needed for invading countries. But at the same time, stealth is needed at BVR, so maybe it’s still needed in assuming the bombers have escorts…
Self-Defense Jets have to be stealthy, for the fact that self-defense jet fighters would be constantly downed by stealth fighters. It's quite silly to think that you shouldn't have stealth aircrafts because they are for invaders, while those aircrafts can be used for self defense and can save more lives than using non-stealth fighters.
Only fools think that stealth fighters can only be invading aircrafts and nothing else.
With today's technology a self defence aircraft is worthless without stealth.
Invading force will see them scramble and by the time they are on an intercept heading missiles are locked and you have smoke in the air.
The defenders are scattered at a disadvantage, enemy is still BVR and can't be locked.
Now if the defenders are stealthy as well, the playing field is level again.
Also designing a "self defence" fighter is as much as a fallacy than giving a soldier a "self defence rifle". A fighter is a fighter, an interceptor an interceptor, and striker a striker, regardless of the "role" it is meant to be filled.

mostly because the PL-15 is oversized compared to the AMRAAM. US missile energetics are still far ahead of Chinese missiles. Meaning US missiles get more range out of less fuel.
@@sevrent2811 100% agree, however that doesnt chance the fact he was technecally* wrong at the time stamp. However still a good overall video I think we can all agree
@@mallamar6862 it has ~ 2x range of AMRAAM saw it on wikipedia
I can tell you for definite that the overall airframe itself is not a copy of neither the F-22, nor the F-35. Even GA pilots with the slightest knowledge on FAA subjects such as aerodynamic and Weight and Balance can tell you an aircraft with a canard wing design does not behave anyway the same as a conventional one. Meaning the reinforcement structure will have to be place differently, your fly by wire has to be programmed in a way suitable for canard and that couldn’t have been done without extensive testing and research. I do believe however the sensor suite and other weapon control system could have been stolen since the Chinese are much less experienced in the electronic warfare sphere and that was the only way to get ahead.
J-20 isn’t cheap. It’s actually really expensive… It’s $100-120 million expensive.
CHINA NUMBER 1
USA LAST
Being expensive isn't good.
At least cheaper than F-35
Because even Thailand rethink plan to buy J-20 sqaud (IDK how) rather than single USA thing
@@fuhwa7515 and YOU!

@@SRDPS2 I'm not sure how correct this is.

It's impressice how well the chinese learned from western jets plus I just have to say that the J-20 is the best looking 5th gen fighter in my opinion
