Thanks for the advice

🙂
There have been reports of a variant of the older J-9 having a chin air intake.
And since the J-10 project was concieved in 1984, it therefore seems plausible for it to gleened some of that technology from the J-9 (as well as from the Israeli Lavi). Here is another angle of that wind tunnel model.;)

The Chinese cancelled DF-113 Mach 2.5 jet fighter

Not much is left in the history of the Chinese DF-113 jet fighter of 1958 – 1960, except some photos of the wind tunnel model and some very nice CGI images and one 3-view line drawing. 😉

A more developed version of the WS-14 is…….

Listed here only as WS-X. It is a medium thrust class of engine – but more advanced and more fuel efficient than the old WP-7, WP-13 and WP-14 engines – that were based on Russian R-11 and R-13 types

Best translation

The WS-14; WS-10; WS-15 (core); WS-9; WS-500; and WS-13.

Understanding comparisons

You do understand that the J-20 and the T-50 PAK FA are only prototypes at this stage – right? While the American F-22 is in full service with the F-35 due sooner than either PAK FA or the J-20.

J-X – XXJ – JXX – or J-20 wind tunnel and engine models

Not from CCTV nor fan artwork :rolleyes:

Cockpit of J-20 – (J-X as they refer to it) ????

I’m not making any claims about the image that I am posting – just posting it as I find that it does not match any J-10 or J-11 variant that I am aware of. The caption only stated that it was “an insider’s first look at the J-X cockpit.” If it is the cockpit of the J-20 test prototype, then it is indeed unusual.:confused:
It also means that the aircraft does indeed exist and probably has conducted taxi tests in preparation for its first flight.
It is also not fanboy artwork nor a showroom mockup – it is a real photograph.

China has revealed the cockpit as “the 4th generation fighter”

Here are some images from Zhuhai of the “J-20” cockpit. Plus, a very nicely done artwork of the J-20 confronting the T-50 in the air in the year 2025. Excellent artwork though:) On the cockpit screen it appears that the wing planform of the actual aircraft has more of a diamond planform like the Northrop YF-23 prototype. It’s wing planform should therefore be listed as a modifed delta shape rather than a pure delta.
