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.
