The new Chinese stealth fighter will be ready within 10 years
Beijing, China - The words by the vice-commander of the air force
(WAPA) - China may complete the realization and enter its fifth generation fighter stealth into service within the next 8-10 years. The announcement was made by Ho Weirong, the vice-commander of the Chinese air-force, during a tv interview released on national channel “Cctv”.
When we talk about fifth generation fighter, generally we refer to F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II American aircraft, possessing characteristics such as their capacity for stealth, supersonic speed, super-manoeuvrability, and quick take-off. At present, the F-22 is the only operating aircraft with these characteristics, while the F-35 and the Russian T-50 are in a phase of development. The Chinese product would be fourth.
Chinese sources explain that Beijing does not intend to copy the F-22, given the technological gap which separates China from the United States. But this information revolution and the new combat situations could permit the Asian country to contrast its superiority against that of the air forces with stars and stripes. (Avionews)

so hopefully this should cut down the 10 yr gap
M M M M M ......GE,... CHINA...GE/Bill Ayers, zero friend father CEO in the past, GE in the tank and on board with the zero administration. I some how don’t see a connection. That damed transparency is getting in the way again...
The zero La cosanostra rides again!
GE
F**k GE. I was once an employee of theirs. Now I’m a customer. Fact: GE F**ks you when business is good and they F**k you even harder when business is bad.
I use every opportunity to f**k them back. Unfortunately, that means buying Chinese crap.
Guess what? I guess it doesnt matter anymore.
F**k the Clintons and the current idiot as well.
Immelt and GE are traitors. There is no doubt about it. Of course our central communist government will jump right in and stop this treachery.
Klintoon, LORAL, Bernie Schwarz ALREADY provided guidance for the missiles over a decade ago !!!
Let them use GE engine technology - then they’ll get compressor stalls during combat maneuvers.
GE - we bring almost not quite so good things to death
For automation products use Allen Bradley instead of GE. Good conservative company. Also a much better support network.
BTW, I do not work for Allen Bradley, Rockwell Automation, or any of their distributors. I am an independent systems integrator.
All cleared by the anti-American B. Hussein Obama government (who LOVES the COMMUNIST Chinese) as part of the continued payback to Immelt for getting the Scumbag-In-Chief elected.
Nothing like helping the CHI-COMS continue building and modernizing their military so that they can attack and dominate us in the future.
Hussein, and all like him, should be tried for treason and hung in the public square.
Pays to be a fascist collaborator.
I laughed at the part where their not going to copy the F22.
Sounds like GE is more financially desperate than patriotic these days. Everyone has their price, it seems.
Keep utilizing that slave labor, GE.
