J-20... The New Generation Fighter II

lovely shot!
JF-17/FC-1 as far as I know is still has some weapons integration testing.
I wonder if the PAF pilot who is in china to fly FC-1/JF-17 would get a peak at the cockpit.

That would be cruel! Tempting the poor guy with something he will never get to fly.

I am sure he will be trying to soak up as much info as he can on the J20, and may well get a chance for some close up looks if he is very lucky. But I doubt he will get any classified info, which would include the cockpit layout.

Hmm what do they show exactly? From what I can see it's just flying in a straight (but awesome) line?

J-20 was flying at a 45 degree angle for a part of the flight.

Guys, I thought it is taken for granted that, modern jet fighter flying in (damn) slow speed, is a sign of AWESOME AERODYNAMICS, and J-20 even fly it in a 45 degree angle (which is not provideing the best lifting).... Isn't this AWESOME or not?

I am not saying this policitally but put it reasonable-ly: Even if he or she is your best friend, you don't tell him/her your bank account and pin number, AND THAT'S OK!

I mean, did any "worthy ally" get a chance to get invited to take a peek, into american's X-47B - the sensitive command & control stuff and alike?

It is just an EXPORT MERCHANDISE parked besides J-20 (don't even know it's PSed or not), no need to political-lize it. Otherwise people can start wandering, that US did not share the railgun tech with her ally is a sign of distrust, bla bla bal...

fking love the new like function

I think you are dramatizing. If the Americans can let the Pakistanis exercise next to their F-22s during Red Flag I don't see why China couldn't do the same thing once the J-20 enters service.

The US would never let China into Red Flag because that would be seen as an honor which they don't want to give. Same with the ISS.

I think you misunderstood. What I meant was for China to use the J-20 in an exercise with Pakistan.

Oh. I'm sure that will eventually happen.

Have the pakistanis flew against the f-22 before? I thought only the us's closest allies like Britain and the Aussies have?

hehe, that's why I use X-47B as example. Everyone SIMPLY CAN, have a little secret, let's take THAT for granted, please?

Besides, J-20 did not exist, yet. Chinese people "conduct their business", on their own way. esp. unlike uncle sam - not in a country basing way. So, can we forget this "&*%$ having China's favour" a little bit, this time?

Edit: Please don't miss the point. I am empahsising the "IT IS OK TO HAVE A LITTLE SECRET, FOR EVERYONE, FROM TIME TO TIME." thing; not the "International relationship contest" thing.
