Which location / facility are the birds in ?
On those 2 pictures posted by YXC, those factory walls seemed to be quite new and built recently.
or am I just wrong ? ... ...
So you've been lost since Dec 9, 2011, and just popped up yesterday, did you get abducted by aliens??? or just break out of a secret Soviet Gulag????, no profile information???? so welcome back to the real world. Chengdu factory airfield, 2013 and 2015,,, so gang 2011 and 2012 been taken to the "super secret" flight test facility???
and yes it is Flankeresque in size, she will haul a load, and she does need those WS-15 to maximize her performance and speed,,,, Daddy always said you can make anything fly with enough horsepower, course he was quite well versed in aerodynamics, he really wanted to be an engineer. Very smart guy, and he always got the job done, loved life on the farm too???

I would c
I would concur with the factory being newer, expanded no doubt for the J-20 LRIP, I have no idea when we might see regular production "batches" as they are not built on a line.

Thinks J-31 fighter are better stealth J-20. More chinese with J-31 jets.

Colonel
Why do you think that? Any data to back up your claim?
Both J-20 and J-31 are designed and manufactured by the Chinese. As such, both are purely Chinese and one cannot be more Chinese than the other.
Don't understand. Do you have official statement of the RCS of both the J-20 and J-31? Or are your claim just base on your own opinion and speculation and have nothing really concrete to back it up?
Secondly, what do you mean by more Chinese with J-31 jets. Are you saying more Chinese liked J-31 or there are more Chinese content in the J-31... which is again... not true... and basically other than the current engines, both aircraft are basically Chinese made (and I believe engines will come later... they will change to domestic engines soon - I think).
People (including a PLAAF expert called Qianshao Fu) are speculating that WS15 will be available sometime btw 2019 and 2022. Looks like the uncertainty is huge
I think the PLAAF's strategy of "spiral improvement" is something worth our attention. 根据歼-20战斗机“螺旋提升”发展计划，首批歼-20量产型战斗机将在2015年左右交付解放军空军沧州试训中心，2017年左右交付解放军空军一线部队，2019年左右实现IOC能力。这个批次的歼20战机将准备俄制99M2发动机或117S发动机，到2020年左右，随着涡扇15发动机的成熟，歼-20战斗机将发展出第二个批产型号——装备国产发动机的歼-20 so basically J-20A IOC before 2019, J-20B around 2020
