What happened to T-50 not long ago was it smoothly aborted a take off after an engine surge.
My suspicion is the drogue chute cylinder is coupled with the landing gears on the J-20 and only retracts when the landing gears are retracted.
Exactly, that proved the usefulness of chute during take off.
Have a chute means you can have a much larger V1 on the same runway.
In situations like aborted take off you can have much larger safety margin.
Don’t see why shouldn’t they open that during take off.
As in this stage, I don’t see what is wrong on coupling chute cylinder with gears.
