Eatup's Guide to China & The Far East - Part III

Three main points of China's modus operandi:

1. Faster
2. Smarter
3. More stealthy

Apparently, China has more gender equality than a sexist, male-dominated society such as Japan. Chinese female pilot performing combat drill:

RECAP: Reasons Why the American F-22 Sucks Compared to the Chengdu J-20




RECAP: Reasons Why the American F-22 Sucks Compared to the Chengdu J-20

1. Image below = sarcasm. RCS = Radar Cross-Section

 

2A. Main take home is DSI intake. You can't just plug it into any airframe. Once a jet fighter
decides to incorporate DSI intake, the entire stealth characteristics must be recalculated with a
supercomputer, which means a different resulting airframe design altogether.

Image below F-22 without DSI intake:




2B. Simply check out the slick beautiful non-gapped DSI intake of the J-20 (below):

 

3. Summary:





I'm going to add one more to the list.

Plasma stealth (using ionized gas to reduce RCS=Radar Cross-Section):

[√] J-20 (rumored)
[X] F-22

 

4. Radar range (microwave emissions) of the J-20 (4th from top) vs F-22 (second bottom):




Anyways, none of it really matters. Since J-20 just passed design and prototype phases into early production model, the Chinese already started working on a 6th gen stealth fighter that will be much better than their own 5th gen J-20!

P.S: The American F-35 is a flying pig as shown above!

 

J-20 in all its glory:

 

J-20 cockpit (yellow color of these birds is the primer that helps the paint [applied later] to stick. The radar absorbing layer already "pre-baked" in beneath the primer):

 

Little oval capsule beneath J-20's belly is an emitter to help keep track of the planes during flight testing (otherwise these stealthy planes would be invisible to radar).
