Is the F-22 better than the J-20?

Also, a slightly shorter, sleeker, and more streamlined fuselage when compared with the J-20 jet, coupled with potentially unmatched levels of propulsion, thrust, and high-speed maneuverability, could very well give the F-22 jet an advantage.

Is J-20 copy F-35?

“The design incorporates many features which have been copied from the F-22 and F-35, including nose cone shaping, the electro-optical targeting system (EOTS) under the nose, and the side-mounted (diverterless supersonic inlet) intakes,” the RUSI report stated.

What is the difference between the F-22 Raptor and the J-20?

The F-22 Raptor has a forty-four-foot wingspan and is, at certain high altitudes, able to hit speeds as fast as Mach 2.25. The J-20 jet is several meters longer than the F-22 jet but built with a similar forty-four-foot wingspan. A key advantage of the F-22 jet is that not only can it hit extremely high speeds, but it can also sustain them as well.

Is the J-20 China’s answer to the F-22?

That means going after U.S. bases, tankers and communications nodes. Thus in that sense, the J-20 could be China’s means to establish air superiority if viewed through that lens. In that sense it might have the upper hand against the F-22.

How does China’s F-22 Raptor compare to the United States’ Raptor?

For the United States, the stealthy Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor will be America’s premier weapon to ensure dominance over the skies until it is eventually replaced by whatever comes out of the U.S. Air Force’s F-X program. The most direct Chinese analogue to the Raptor is the Chengdu J-20. How would such a jet fair against America’s best?

Is China’s Chengdu J-20 the Raptor of China?
