    Stealth technology?:)

    Not hardly stealth technology, just that I am not aware of how to post the images here after keypublishing changed or rearranged how one goes about uploading and posting images here – so, definitely no stealth technology involved here – sorry for the delay – as soon as I know how to post images here in the somehow-changed settings, I will gladly post the images here

    I have tried several times to upload the images but due to an apparent change – since this forum closed for maintenance – my images do not appear here –
    Would the mods please inform me as to how I can upload and post images now, please?

    Thanks for the clarification

    Then this is the target drone as once speculated. Thanks 😎

    I think these two beauties had a much better fate than the other posted here, since they have led to the Hunter, the best selling British jet fighter ever, and the most beautiful.

    😎
    The last photo is the French Nord 1601 of 1950. Though it was not intended to be a fighter per se., it was a test aircraft built to test swept wing technology.

    Lol that’s the most analysis work you ever done yet at Keypublishing.. too bad you can’t use that brain power on ps and cg pics.

    that’s not what you said..

    where? go find me it 🙂
    only thing I posted are real aircraft models and images from Huitong.. which if you were unfamiliar with, generally is more reputable than fanboys on the internet posting random cgs and altered images. anyways enough with this, go find me the latest picture you think is real! chop chop lad.

    I clearly remember you posting these two images. And just when did Huitong ever list or put them on his site? My dear J-20 Hotdog my lad?! One image was a clear CG by a so-called “fanboy” and the other was a Shenyang SAC 601 model with swept-forward wings – but single engine(!) – which IIRC was your choice for the new next generation (then) J-XX. Although I do admit the CG was very close to what the J-20 / J-XX from Chengdu CAC 611 actually looked like. So you see J-20 Hotdog my lad, we all had our speculations about the J-XX – including you. Nothing wrong with it until you let your ego take over your behavior and that spoils everything.
    🙂
    Cheers
    But I am digressing here – since the J-20 / J-XX is off-topic here – it does have its own thread – so I will stop here with any off topics – ok

    True analysis: When in doubt just Google it!

    No PSed or CG images -to satisfy J-20 Hotdog
    The apparent “Tu-204C” testbed at CFTE Yanliang was delivered there in May 2011. It had been in storage at Tianjin and was used by Air China Cargo and has the Chinese registration B-2871. Now that is real J-20 Hotdog – no BS
    It is at CFTE Yanliang.
    Now as to what they are using it as a testbed for is not clear yet but with time it will become all too clear.
    Thanks go to Dieno; Blitzo; and a person that goes by “49er” over at CDF – thanks guys for the information. Let the speculation begin :rolleyes:

    Relax J-20 Hotdog……

    Your place here at KeyPublishing Forum is safe. And FYI, I am not claiming anything here, just posting news – leave your enormous ego out of this ok please. And just so you know I am fully aware of and know that is a Tu-204 – and yes that is it’s winglets – who said that it was a boom? Not me – I asked questions not making claims! No Blitzo, I never claimed that those CGs of what the J-20 could be were real – if J-20 Hotdog got the impression that I meant they were real then he is mistaken. I also remember Hotdog posting his own share of CGs as to what the J-20 would look like as well. But the topic here is a possible Chinese tanker testbed – not a new aircraft – and it is not a CG by any means. I see that J-20 Hotdog wants to discredit anyone that posts anything that he did not post – too ego-based persona in my opinion – Is J-20 Hotdog that in-secure? Really?!! Or is he under the impression that he knows more than anyone else on this forum? Questions, questions. Hmmm!!!

    Cheers;)

    Well huitong did mention J-20 could be getting a boom style receptacle… I’m more interested in what kind of tanker will replace or supplement the wearied H-6Us. Personally I’m hoping PLAAF took the extra step to consider giving all their Y-20s the capability to act as a tanker/transport like the A400M and KC-390, while having dedicated Y-20 tankers as the mainstay.

    As Deino stated – “Interesting and mysterious” indeed
    The Y-20 as a new tanker does make sense – even one with a “flying boom” or the normal PLAAF/PLANAF hose&drouge style

    Actually I think both photos (his and mine too) show the same aircraft ! As such I thik it is retired frigther with the Air China livery removed … but the question remains: what does the text on his photo says … is this text real (or psed) and where was the photo taken ??

    Deino

    IMO the photo is so censored as it precludes any further identification – as there are no number or anything else – other than the Chinese characters to go by. For the moment it is anybody’s guess. As to how reliable is Xilu Wang, well that is a matter of different opinions – it varies. Maybe just another false alarm from Xilu – In Xilu “news” of this aircraft it is said to be at Yanliang.
    🙁
    Also it is IMO real text on the fuselage side and not psed – but that is my opinion
    Testbed for a larger tanker does sound plausible – in view that the IL-78 tankers it ordered from Russia have been delayed or cancelled altogether. Whereas Pakistan got its IL-78 tankers but not China – hmmm????

    I think – to admit not knowing the corrct designation – that it is this aircraft. I found this photo some time ago and it seems to be a frighter version formerly operated by Air China Cargo (like this one: http://www.flightglobal.com/assets/getAsset.aspx?ItemID=17249)

    Besides that is it confirmed at Yanglian and the text also ???

    Deino

    Thanks Dieno 🙂
    I was just going on the news from Xilu Wang about the Chinese needs and requirements for an apparent replacement for the obsolete H-6 tankers – which number around 10 units total. Do you perhaps think that China will just convert transport aircraft – like the Tu-204 into tankers? I still do not fully understand the term “hard-tube” and fuel dispencer. Do you know if the Chinese have modified that freighter Tu-204 to test new systems for a “new” kind of tanker for the PLAAF and PLANAF??
    And yes it is listed in the text – by Xilu Wang – that the aircraft is or was being tested at Yanliang airfield.

    No, surely not … that’s simply a Tu-204 with its tail “standing” just behind the wing’s winglets !

    If that is a Tu-204 – which sub-type is it – did you note that there are no windows for passengers? And that it also has Chinese characters?! I was not aware that CFTE at Yanliang operated Tu-204 type aircraft – plus what is your guess as to what and why was the image so heavily censored? And what is your take on the phrase “hard-tube?”
    :confused:

    “New” aierial tanker tested at Yanliang Airfield

    Apparently a new type of Chinese air to air refueling tanker has been tested at Yanliang north of Xian. It is assumed that it is like the USAF’s KC-135 Stratotanker using the flying-boom type of transferring fuel. There is no information on the reciever aircraft type however – and also no date given on when the apparent tests occurred. “They” refer to it thus “Chinese hard-tube (meaning flying-boom?) fuel tester brazenly exposed.”
    It is – the image – highly censored so not much detail can be made out about aircraft type except that it is thought to be twin-engined.
