Orca expresses hope that we’ll see something this year.

Seems like both Cute Orca and Ayi have made broadly similar points just two months ago:

Any clue about this?


Translation :
2011: When will we see the sixth gen fighter?
萌虎鲸: Month is the unit.
Besides Cute Orca Ayi was also implying something:

He seems to be implying there was 13 years between first flight of J-10 and J-20, and this year has been 13 years since first flight of J-20 so maybe we should expect something, some people in the thread are guessing 6th gen:

It seems a bit suspicious that the two of them are implying this at the same time, but then again those two are close friends so who knows.

If those hints and claims by the Co. are accurate - Do you think we would be seeing technology/concept demonstrators, or actual fighter/combat system prototypes?

IMO - but this is pure gut-feeling - more likely a demonstrator only! Maybe we'll get a glimpse of it at Zhuhai in November?

More like this but on repeat, lol.

I think we would be extremely lucky if they would even have one or few components and/or technological demos related to next-gen air combat systems displayed in this year's Expo.
