Stealth characteristics of both the United States and Russia?

Christmas period, China’s Internet forums there have been some vague images of fighter aircraft, the outside world there is speculation that this is likely to be the legendary first Chinese stealth fighter – J -20.

In the U.S., "Aviation Week," the fighter expert Bill Sweetman, these pictures did not distinguish between true and false, because the Chinese military site will always be Jingxian such as fly "helicopter carrier" like the creation of images. But he believes that this inverted F -20 pictures may be true. More convincing, this fifth-generation stealth fighter stealth fighter has the right features: a clear profile of the normal section, delta wing, all moving horizontal tail. Can be described as F -20 appears to have the United States F-22 "Raptor" fighter of the first half of the fuselage, and then half a year is just coming out of the Russian T-50 stealth fighter demonstrator.

Sweetman said, "gave me the impression that this is a big guy, very long aircraft, from nose to tail around more than 70 feet (20 meters), there is a reason to do so."

Sweetman speculates J -20 in the supersonic cruise and sensitivity may be weaker than the F-22, but may be equipped with more weapons and tanks, and carry more fuel. He believes that China does not need short-range stealth fighter, because "all those who own goal from a defensive capability (China) are far from home. Moreover, the larger aircraft, the more likely to become a bomber."

U.S. Air Force is still significantly behind the overall

"Connection," the report said, if the rumors are true about -20 F, it would mark the Chinese Air Force on a big stage.

As before, all for the Chinese "new weapons" in the online saliva as -20 F outside world mostly speculation based on hearsay evidence, and the West are often borrowing the speculation, the habit of throwing the corresponding "threat" and repeatedly stressed should not China’s military power lightly. R & D in the stealth fighter, however, admits the West China still a gap.

"Connection," the article said a year ago, Western commentators to claim that air power, taking into account the strength of the Chinese Air Force to enhance, if the United States the number of F-22 will be locked in 187, then the U.S. "safety factor will drop. " However, the Pentagon has so far not photos of the F -20 to comment, but has maintained a "positive." U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates that China is developing a stealth fighter, but insisted that China "can not be equipped by 2020, the fifth generation fighter", but by that time the U.S. has more F-22 and F-35 stealth fighter.

Why China need stealth fighters

Just after Gates concluded under the Zhefan, F-35 project has been delayed, and China, "apparently to speed up the development process of stealth aircraft." Reported that the photos if the network is real, it has been down the blueprint that J -20, but it also "is not worthy of panic," because the development of stealth aircraft has its specific laws. Early 90s of last century, the United States the first stealth fighter demonstrator – YF-22 and YF-23 (U.S. stealth fighter project has two bidding companies, so there are two completely different prototype) to achieve the first flight, The Chinese J -20 has not the sky, and has large-scale production of F-22 compared to 15 years it has lagged behind. In addition, given China’s need to be addressed in the application of high-tech quality control and other issues, in quantity, F -20 need 10 or more years to achieve the balance of military power of the size of the Pacific.

Military observers said the past 10 years, the land-based "Patriot", S-300 series of missiles, sea-based "standard" series of missiles, improving the performance of air defense weapons, and showed tendency to spread in the region. It is in this advanced air defense weapons, under pressure from the military powers of the increasingly urgent demand for stealth fighter. As a rising power, China is facing multiple challenges should not be an exception.

In addition, after decades of technology and experience, China’s aviation industry has made achievements that attracted worldwide attention. F -10, F-11B, "Fierce Dragon" and JH -7 "Flying Leopard" and more and more new aircraft design reflects the unique style and philosophy. So there is reason to believe that the future development of the Chinese Air Force, with the J -20 absolute stealth is not just a legend.
