At 70 feet long, it’s a wonder it got off the ground.................

The F-22 gets off the ground easily with a length of over 60 feet, so it shouldn’t be impossible for the J-20.

The B-17G that hammered Europe during WWII was only about 74’ in length.

Yeah, it’s eight feet longer than a F-14, which was sixty-two feet in length, but three feet shorter than a F-111 (which comes in at 73 feet).

I like the canards and stabilization fins.

Usually they add that crap to cover up flaws.

It won’t be very stealth with that junk.

Where are the curb feelers and static straps.
