J-XX Fighter Aircraft

The J-XX is China's fighter of the future. Designed to counter the F-22 and JSF, the J-XX will be China's first generation fighter. What are you views on the J-XX? When do you think it will fly, how will it stack up to figthers like the F-22, JSF, MCA, and PAK FA?

Re: J-xx

In my opinion, the first J-XX prototype will fly by 2008, and it might be operational by 2012, if the PRC can supply it with adequate funding. I think it will be roughly the same in performance as the F-22, although with worse avionics.

Re: J-xx

2012 is early may be 3 years later in 2015. I believe J-XX may come into JSF-35's league but will lack in capability compared to F-22. Not much info on it so cant say much.

Re: J-xx

Most sources I have come across give the year 2015 as a possible date for the J-XX to be operational. I think that with increased funding, they may be able to speed up the process. But then again, 9 mothers cannot have a baby in 1 month.

Re: J-xx

in 2015 there will be different unmanned combat planes and bombers in europe/usa
just take a look on eads site

Re: J-xx

it took ten years to make j-10 fly, and another 5 to make it operational.
i think j-xx will be operational around 2020

Re: J-xx

I think it will come out some time between 2012-2016. But here's a pic to amuse you guys.
It's just a F-22 + some chinese buildings....But some poeple do belive it's the JXX because of it exsost.

Re: J-xx

Those pictures resemble the YF-23 Black Widow. They share the same general wing shape.

Re: J-xx

hehehe...
if an f-22 was flying over china, there should be flankers and missles on it's tail...

YF-23 has hybrid vertical/horizontal stabilisers, dunno what the proper name is called but it looks like a V-shape. The one in the pic has separate V/H stabilisers, more likely to be F-22
