Jane’s reported today in the article: Russia, China push fifth-generation fighter programmes to meet year-end milestones that the prototype of Chinese developed 5th Generation fighter, used to be called J-xx, is ready. 2 airframes have been constructed. my pick is the J-20 prototype will make maiden flight anytime from now onwards. 😎

From Janes:

…Meanwhile, rumours have emerged from China’s Chengdu Aerospace Corporation (CAC) and the adjoining Aircraft Plant 132 that a Chinese-developed fifth-generation fighter prototype may also fly by the end of the year. Reportedly, two airframes – numbered 2001 and 2002 – have been assembled at the plant.

According to Russian industry sources, the programme – sometimes referred to as ‘J-20’ – is a joint design effort between CAC and the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, with Chengdu taking the lead on the development.
