J-20... The New Generation Fighter II

New pictures of the J-20 from CJDBY:

Latest flight pic

This one is really interesting, an award plaque given to a supplier, special power unit.
柏克EPS电源YJS系列产品助力成都歼—20的试飞，为中国军用航空事业提供高可靠电力解决 方案。

This was given by the turbine research academy. So I guess this electric power unit has something to do with the engine.

And get busted and spent a big vication in jail? ...... Ney!

Hehe, just kidding. Just keep in mind, any common folks saw ANYTHING, that's ONLY because the authorities WANTS you to see.

So if anyone plans to Chengdu and "have a look" of anything, yet the authorities plans otherwise - you don't see anything!

I popped in here for a quick look-see and decided to "clean up" some pictures.

Those are probably just 2 badly parked j-10's

Notice the different coloration of the grass. That is usually a sign they were taken at different times. Although it would be quite a revelation if it could be shown that all those pictures were taken at the same time, since the far away picture with hangers in the background clearly shows yellow patches that are not present on the other pictures. If they were taken at the same time, then that 'proves' there are at least two flying prototypes (and a third ground test airframe, as is standard with Chinese fighter development).

No, I think the J-20 is located on the left side of the photo with only the front half seen...

He's referring to the dark shade in the aircraft hangar, the third one from the left.

Not waterproof? What do you mean? Like when it rain it will wash off?!!

Maybe less susceptible to water damage or something?

Yeah, it's a little ridiculous to think the USAF would settle for a front line fighter at that expense, that needed to stay indoors on a rainy day... XD .

I have heard that because the ram is iron-based it rusts in the rain. The F-35 uses a simpler and more modern ram.

Maybe someone can bust this myth, or confirm it.
