Chinese SAC - FC-31/J-35 5th Gen Stealth Aircraft

[Deino]

Yes, we have seen the J-16D, J-20, J-20S, and J-35A appear together.

Yes, in the air during the parade coming together from different units, but not together at at one base!

Been following these two for years. Historically, they used to only focus on USA related items only. However, they are trying to branch out to cover more global military aviation news and it will take them some time to get their heads around the Chinese ecosystem. Right now, very early days for them.

You should host this kind of show.

I second that. But so do you as well. You both are excellent contributors in this area.

"German + Chinese"? Viewers watching the show would need to bring multiple translation devices. LOL

I'm just an ordinary military enthusiast. I'm not interested in the media, nor do I have the ability to work in that field.

Me? Surely not ... I'm just an ordinary - ok, not really an ordinary - German and your understanding in all these matters is way above my layman's knowledge!

STOP THIS NONSENSE HERE - there is a dedicated thread on Pakistan and the J-35A - even more so since the The Pentagon’s 2025 China Military Power Report is a piece of crap!

They know NOTHING ... or at least they don't post what they know in the public report!

At the very least the Snowy Owl project developed many computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models and wind tunnel models.

It's possible it also produced concept demonstrators even if scaled down ones. I wouldn't expect them to have produced any full prototypes though since apparently the J-20 won the competition at the concept demonstrator stage. Similar to YF-22 and YF-23 concept demonstrators established F-22 program win and F-22 had prototypes following on from the concept shoot off. The difference is that the initial YF-22 demonstrator was closer to a prototype.

There is a continuum spectrum between concept demonstrator and you have ones like YF-22 with internal weapons bays and you have ones like YF-23 which is less hashed out and you have ones like X-36 scaled down model plane.

Usually demonstrator and all tender design materials is enough to choose winner.

This is why I consider FC-31 to be a concept demonstrator just one that is closer to prototype but Michael has his own personal definition.

I mean lots of Americans think their concept demonstrator 6th generation fighter is a prototype but it's not. It's just demonstrator to select program winner and then they develop a full prototype followed by other prototypes and then LRIP first operational fighters.

Snowy Owl may have been considered less stealthy due to having one more set of control surfaces compared to J-20.

J-20 has canards and wings in the horizontal plane where Snowy Owl had canards, wings and horizontal stabilisers.

Not Just 'One more set of control surface', but also lack of the DSI along with some other factors.

Its surprising how little they know of current news and foreign platforms, given their backgrounds as Navy fighter pilots. Especially Gonky, that fker is clueless, zero preparation before the shows to read up on subject matter to be discussed. Mover atleast puts in more effort.

To be fair, that so far is the same of all fighter pilot youtube channels. Their commentary on american stuff is interesting, esp given their operational angle which is why i watch them.

Are you aware of any good english ones btw ?
