J-20 5th Gen Fighter Thread VIII

[by78]

An article briefly mentions that intelligent (presumably AI-driven) adversaries have been introduced in simulator training to up the difficulty for J-20 pilots.

I couldn't seem to find info about this anywhere, so does anyone know if there's available LO EFTs for the J-20, or even projects like so in development?

I know the J-20 can carry drop tanks, but I couldn't find anything about LO EFTs.

And you probably won't find anything, given LO EFTs are rather niche.

I suspect such a pursuit probably exists, but it's up to the whimsical nature of the people with access to these things who will decide whether they decide to leak anything to us that happens to be LO EFT relevant.


Also, just because LO EFTs is something that's being investigated/pursued for F-22 doesn't necessarily mean it is relevant for J-20.

Not saying the J-20 needs it or whatever of course, just a curious little thought that popped in my head. Thanks for answering.

A slightly different one (if I'm not mistaken!?) to the previously known image of 2055

The strongest state of the J-20 is to install a binary vector engine, similar to the engine on the F22. Unfortunately, due to the development of artificial intelligence, it will not develop in this direction. It will still use the ordinary version of the WS-15 engine. If the F22 can achieve and With the size of the J-20, it should be more powerful.

chatgpt???

Not sure if a good idea. According to the article, "the AI has no psychological or physiological limit of human pilot, forcing pilots to give everything they have got..." That don't sound like a good practice. Being more difficult is not better, if it is not realistic. It could even breed bad habits.

The Original Showed Up!

Saw this one followed up with comments from a prominent Weibo poster that this represents less than half a month of production

which if you do math is at least 96 per year.

I think it’s reasonable to assume that they can produce at rate of 100 per year but that they won’t always be at that rate due to going from j20 to j20a.

btw, this puts my estimates from 2 years ago of 70 a year to shame. They can presumably raise this to even higher depending on the plans for j35 and ucavs

Has the newest (3rd) assembly hall at Chengdu started the serial production work on the J-20 as well?

at this point, I don't follow production of military stuff closely. I'm the EV guy.
