China's controversial stealth jet has made its first public flyby, giving the public and media a glimpse of the controversial aircraft.

Taking to the skies at the airshow in the southern city of Zhuhai, in Guangdong province, the J-20 stealth fighter passed by onlookers in a demonstration.

The controversial aircraft is believed to have been built in part from plans of US war planes, obtained by Chinese hackers – which Beijing has firmly denied.

But military analysts have said it is still too early to tell if the jet matches the US F-22 Raptor.

Maybe if China steals and perfects the F-35 design, the US can buy Chinese-made F-35’s. After all, everything else is made in China these days. /sarc

Intellectual chaos!

High tech information and information systems in the hands of irresponsible and unscrupulous people=CHAOS!

It’s like teenagers with their FB accounts and I phones... the can’t see past their nose and have NO interest in or clue how to protect their OWN interests.

I wonder how much trouble the Chinese hackers had getting the data off the CD that The Bent One handed to them?

It would be in the national interest to GIVE them all the plans for the F-35 then they could be as backward and behind the curve as we are with it.

Similar maybe, but several big differences. The Chingchang model has a set of canard winglets forward of the main wings. To my mind, anything such as that is a potential radar-return source, which spoils the craft’s stealth profile. Easy for us to test.

Too early to tell if it matches the F-22 Raptor? For openers, look at the photos! No, it doesn’t match. And as per performance; probably not. Engines? Pilot training and skills? Pfshaaaw!
