Since we're discussing artistic renderings without any real technical merit, this is an image of a hypothetical two seater i find more plausible.View attachment 67327

I don't see anything particularly unrealistic or technically non feasible in those renderings.

At most one could argue perhaps an alternative canopy brace configuration may work, but I also don't see how the one depicted was illogical either.


In any case the rendering itself is overall quite reasonable but it isn't the details of the image itself which is of consequence but rather that this image was shown in a video made by CAC posted on the official AVIC WeChat, after a year or more of rumours suggesting a twin seat J-20 was in advanced development.


I would go so far as to say that with that image, this twin seater J-20S or J-20B or whatever it ends up being called, is near or even at the same level of "basically confirmed" that the naval 5th gen (J-XY/35) or H-20 is.

I agree that inclusion of twin seater in the video adds to credibility of the idea there is a twin seater variant coming. I do think the actual image though is just an artist's own rendering, without insight into the real deal other than "make an image of twin seater j10"

Happy ten year anniversary since first flight!


Video included some new footages and mostly rehashed old info with the exception of one reveal: J-20 has reduced its weight by 200KG during the developmental process.

The unsung heroes behind the development and construction of J-20. One interesting tidbit is that 3D printed parts are used on the J-20.

At 3:12, it was mentioned that the J-20 is capable of "supercruise."
