Chinese J-20 Mighty Dragon The Chengdu J-20 is a fifth generation stealth, twin-engine fighter aircraft prototype developed by Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group for the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force. In late 2010, the J-20 underwent high speed taxiing tests. The J-20 made its first flight on 11 January 2011. The J-20 has a pair of all-moving tailfins that are swept back in the F-35 style instead of being trapezoid and ventral stabilizing fins. It also has an F-22 style nose section, but with F-35 style dropped nose, forward swept intake cowls with DSI bumps and a one-piece canopy. The prototype is fitted with the improved WS-10G with a new "stealth" nozzle possibly to reduce RCS and IR emission.
