An unusual monument has appeared on the territory of the Chengdu Aerospace Corporation flight training Center - one of the prototypes of the fifth-generation J-20 fighter was placed on a pedestal.

It is reported that the winged car participated in resource tests, and when they were completed, it was decided not to be scrapped, but installed in an honorable eternal parking lot.

Of course, this sample is significantly different from the real mass-produced aircraft, and it completely lacks any internal equipment. The published photos do not show the rear part, so it is unclear what the layouts of the engine elements look like.

Nearby, on another pedestal is a multi-purpose fighter - J-10, belonging to the previous generation. These aircraft are a kind of symbols of the aviation power of the People's Republic of China, which has achieved significant success in creating advanced equipment for its air force.

It took the designers from China less than ten years to bring to mind their development, which was originally known as the J-XX. When the first sample got into the camera lenses, many of the experts found some similarities with the Russian experimental MiG 1.44 aircraft.

According to some estimates, the "Twentieth" with a maximum take-off weight of 35,000 kg can carry a combat load of 7800 kg. Some sources reported that the aircraft is able to accelerate almost to 2900 km / h, which is unlikely to be true. The combat range reaches up to 2000 km.

The aircraft has a radar station with an active phased array and sensors that monitor the air situation. Various air-to-air weapons have been developed for it, including long-range weapons. There are high-precision ammunition for hitting ground targets.

At the end of last month, a two-seat version of this fighter was lit up for the first time. It was also reported about the beginning of tests of the fifth-generation carrier-based aircraft J-35.
