J-20... The New Generation Fighter II

Centrist · May 12, 2011

Wait, wait wait, which prototype flew today? This one looks like the AL-31F-engines one. It has some yellow spots, including one on the tip of the radome. But the other photos don't have that. Did they both fly?!

You guys are still talking about the colour of the afterburner flame?

Here is a vid posted in the flanker thread, and near the end you can clearly see that the AL31s on the J11s have blue flames.

I'm wondering the same question! Did it really fly or maybe is it an older pic from taxiing ? You can clearly see the smoke from the tyres like they just touched down ...or is it just the smoke from the front wheel ?! Lots of questions, few answers...

Interesting times though.

It really flew today. The news is all over Chinese forums. I suspect that they are getting a bit tired since the J-20 flew a lot since the second flight.

As far as I know

1. 11. January - ?? h ? min

WOAH!
We finally have the definite picture of the existence of weapon bay!!
I am very curious now, of all the pictures we had before, the weapon bay is impossible to spot, even with very high res pictures, not even a seam. Maybe we are looking at "0002" (another plane) than "0001" ??

We had definitive proof of side weapon bay days ago...

Hoping for some in flight pics of the AL-31F yellow dotted bird then ... that will prove once and for all TWO flying prototypes

PS: don't think this pic has been posted yet .

LAST OFF-TOPIC post regarding to uploading from imageshack

Red___Sword said:
I thank your help, but you didn't noticed, like I said, there is no such thing happens.

"htt p://ima geshack.us/photo/my-images/534/12964382.jpg/" (I intentionally break it, to let you see)

see any problem of the URL? the URL have this stupid thing that is "/my-images/", that's the code where makes everything wrong.

Like this,
ht tp://img534.ima geshack.us/i/12964382.jpg

when add [IM G] [/ IMG] tag, it also fails.

BUT YOURS, WORKS!!!

I'm actually uploading one of your image in that example.
You don't upload the address with my-image tag, you need to right click on the image and select view image, then upload the new one, like below:

ie, this is the image you are trying to load, it won't work

So right click and select view image like this:

and then upload the address of this new page with the image and nothing else:

regards,
