J-20 5th Gen Fighter Thread V

The shifting of the center of lift with respect to the CG would change the effort needed for pitch control but it does not change the fact that longer moment arm would require less effort than the shorter moment arm during pitch control.

Sorry I misunderstood your original post thinking that you meant the opposite.

Prolly so, and such a shame as this is a very interesting and "photo genic" airplane. Well Eng, where is 2102?? should we start looking for a new batch of LRIP aircraft??

To admit, not only that it is boooooring, so much booooooring ... but also interesting.
The question spinning my head since some tome is WHY this hiatus in any news ??

- Is there a new political order given to keep these top projects under a stricter veil of secrecy and these wall climbers obey after some internal warnings?
- Is there simply nothing to report? No new J-10B/Cs or any new LRIP J-20, nothing on the J-16, J-15 batch 02 .... and if yes, why ?
- has something happened? An accident, mishap, maybe even a crash? ... but that would not explain the "nothing" on all projects.
- are they waiting for a certain date? ... maybe the service introduction and roll out of about 4-8 J-20s fully marked in PLAAF-colours ready for delivery .... I don't know.

Any other ideas ?

Well, no doubt Emperor XI has put the clamps on the whole of China, No wall climbers, no talking out of school, and a fairly massive persecution of the church, its a whole different China than we knew under President Peng. Very frightening and very sad, for those of us who continue to hope for "warmer" relationships with China

Not helped by the "Obama Administrations" very public "Pacific Pivot", which is embarrassing to the Chinese, and undermines the "friendship that previous administrations have been building. I'm not totally against the idea, but handled very poorly, and created a diplomatic "nightmare?".

They said they were going to clamp down. That is what has happened. It's probably in part because they want to hide the new projects coming up. Everyone's attention is on the J-20. It's in LRIP. Things are shifting now. We haven't seen this navalized J-20 yet.

Probably political/opsec related.

I am not sure where there is a demand for a navalized J-20 any time soon.

This may sound illogical however as crazy as it sounds I think trump will have better relations with China than Hillary.
