5th Gen. Stealth Fighters of the World

5th gen. stealth planes atm that have been produced or greenlit for eventual production:



(Note: The J-31 is now called the FC-31)

 

Key differences between F-22 and F-35:

F-22: Twin engine, airfield takeoff, not exportable

F-35: Single engine with 3D vectoring nozzle for VTOL, naval fighter, exportable to countries like Japan

(P.S: Not much pics of the F-22/35 will be posted here b/c everybody who lives in the West already knows what they are or look like... But all are welcome to post them.)

 

J-20 is the land-based stealth fighter, like the F-22:

 

These yellow birds that you might come across are the unpainted primer with RAM (radar absorbing material) coating beneath them:

Key differences/similarities between J-20 and F-22:

1. Longer fuselage = carry more fuel (F-22 estimated to require multiple mid-air refueling from Australia to East coast of China):




2. Both J-20 and F-22 are really huge birds (J-20 is ginormous compared to J-10 multirole fighter aircraft):
