a fifth generation j20 fighter
0:04
accompanied a new Chinese aircraft on a
0:06
flight about which essentially nothing
0:08
is known thus far the new aircraft's
0:11
impressive scale is evident in the
0:13
footage of their joint flight as the j20
0:17
substantial the changdu j20 also
0:20
referred to as the mighty dragon is a
0:22
twin engine stealth fighter that was
0:24
created for the people's Liberation Army
0:26
Air Force it is primarily intended for
0:29
air superiority and precision assaults
0:32
and it is equipped with Advanced stealth
0:34
technology and multiple operational
0:36
variants including a new twin seat
0:39
variant called the j20 S the j20 has
0:42
been subjected to continuous
0:43
modifications since its inaugural flight
0:46
in 2011 with the objective of enhancing
0:49
its operational versatility and combat
0:51
Effectiveness according to reports the
0:54
footage was captured in close vicinity
0:56
to the changdu aircraft plant at present
0:59
there have been no statements from
1:01
Chinese officials it is possible that
1:03
the aircraft is propelled by two or
1:05
three engines and has a single weapons
1:07
Bay as indicated by the footage the
1:10
aircraft's design and configuration are
1:12
a substantial departure from
1:14
conventional fighter aircraft it is
1:16
equipped with a tailless design that is
1:18
intended to improve aerodynamic
1:20
efficiency and stealth as well as a
1:23
modified deltawing shape with Chine
1:25
lines that extend to the snout the
1:28
aircraft is equipped with five trailing
1:30
edge control surfaces per Wing which
1:32
include split flaps located near the
1:34
wing tips this configuration enables the
1:37
aircraft to effectively regulate yaw
1:40
without the use of tail surfaces the new
1:42
aircraft appears to be comparable in
1:44
length to the j20 in terms of size and
1:48
dimensions indicating that it is of a
1:50
substantial size that is capable of
1:52
supporting long duration missions these
1:55
Dimensions suggest a substantial
1:56
capacity for fuel armaments and sensor
2:00
the engine configuration suggests a
2:02
three engine configuration which might
2:04
use domestically produced ws10 C
2:06
turbofan engines similar to those found
2:09
on the j20 it is hypothesized that this
2:12
Arrangement will improve the efficacy of
2:14
high-speed operations at elevated
2:17
altitudes a unique feature of this
2:19
aircraft is its air intake Arrangement
2:21
which includes an intake located at the
2:23
top of the fuselage and two additional
2:26
intakes on either side of the lower
2:28
fuselage the efficiency of ventilation
2:31
and the stealth capabilities of this
2:33
design may be enhanced the aircraft has
2:36
the potential to serve a variety of
2:38
functions including air superiority and
2:41
precision strikes and could also
2:43
function as a command and control
2:45
platform in manned unmanned teaming
2:47
scenarios although specific operational
2:50
duties have yet to be confirmed the
2:52
integration of Cutting Edge low
2:54
observable Technologies indicates that
2:56
this aircraft is a significant
2:58
improvement over current platforms such
3:01
as the j20 with an emphasis on
3:03
operational efficacy in contested
3:05
environments and improved stealth
3:08
capabilities these characteristics
3:10
collectively suggest that this new
3:12
aircraft is a component of China's
3:14
ongoing Endeavors to enhance its
3:17
military Aviation capabilities
3:19
potentially positioning it as a
3:20
formidable asset in future aerial combat
3:23
scenarios some individuals are already
3:26
categorizing it as a sixth generation
3:28
fighter on social media
3:30
although it is premature to make such
3:32
assertions it is possible that it is a
3:35
fifth generation aircraft with a
3:37
significantly altered aerodynamic
3:39
configuration China is actively testing
3:41
and potentially incorporating new
3:43
platforms into its aerial capabilities
3:46
as evidenced by The Joint flight
3:48
although specific information regarding
3:50
the new aircraft is not publicly
3:52
accessible its flight in conjunction
3:55
with the j20 implies that it may be a
3:57
component of China's strategy to improve
4:00
its air combat capabilities by utilizing
4:02
advanced technology and coordinating
4:05
joint operations between crude and
4:07
uncrewed systems the potential for
4:10
unmanned systems to assist Mann fighters
4:12
in a variety of Duties such as
4:14
surveillance and electronic warfare is a
4:17
significant benefit of the collaboration
4:19
between this new aircraft and the
4:22
j20 this could indicate a transition to
4:25
more integrated combat strategies in
4:27
aerial Warfare another news is that
4:29
Chinese sources say that Shenyang
4:31
aircraft Corporation has rolled out its
4:33
new prototype fighter jet with a swept
4:36
Wing they write that the first flight
4:38
took place on December 20th these
4:41
developments have the potential to
4:43
significantly alter the Dynamics of
4:45
regional security particularly in
4:47
relation to China's military posture in
4:50
regions such as Taiwan and India this
4:52
Voyage represents an additional
4:54
advancement in China's ongoing Endeavors
4:57
to modernize its Air Force and establish
4:59
its presence in global Military Aviation

now do you think these are manned or
5:04
unmanned and our fifth generation or

sixth generation planes let us know in
