Chengdu J-20 Jet Fighter


     The competition of high technology jet fighter are become more sharp. When the US busy with it's F-35, the china have been developed the new jet fighter, indicate that they will have their own jet fighter. The jet fighter have codename Chengdu J-20. Rumor say that it will adopt the advanced technology wings systems, but no one know exactly.

      It’s difficult to compare the J-20 to the F-35, as the J-20 jet fighter is a highly classified and well-guarded aircraft about which little is known. Its the important point that US has many spy and military satellites. The leaks and surveillance have allowed Americans to infer the potential capabilities of this Chinese fighter. The most striking thing about the J-20 is its size. Its size and shape are intended to help it sustain supersonic cruise speeds. Additionally, its angular dimensions allow for it to maintain a high level of stealth against enemy radar.

        Well, let's take a look at the photos of the jet fighter. The sharp nose make it easy to cut the air flow from the front. The wings have an aerodynamic design. That wings  more likely follow a canard-delta shape, and it bears a twin engine configuration. Its dark color is likely intended to help reduce its visibility. Perhaps the most frustrating thing about the advanced technology of the Chengdu J-20 is that much of it was stolen from American advanced technology. Rumor say that, the Chinese government purchased pieces of the jet from locals who had picked up parts of the crash Nighthawk and then reverse engineered the stealth advanced technology parts.

       American officials expect the Chengdu J-20 to be operational by the end of the decade. Will this Chinese fighter pick up speed and become the king of the skies? Well, we can only wait and see.
