China's New "Secret" J-20 Steathly Jet Fighter

[Kyler]

Well the aviation world has been a buzz recently with more and more photographs of PLAAF's "secret" J-XX stealth fighter.
Dubbed the J-20 the aircraft is quite large possibly being more akin to a fighter/bomber then a stand alone fighter.
It's large size allows undoubtedly for probably a very large internal payload of either weapons or fuel.
The J-20 bears resemblance to the MiG 1.44 and some aspects of the USAF F-22 & Russian PAK-FA.
It is likely the aircraft is being powered by the same engines used in the the Su-35, since China is still having
problems developing a indigenous reliable engine for its J-11(Su-27 Flanker) fleet. As more pictures come forward
and eventual footage of its first flight better ideas of the aircraft possible capabilities will be formulated.

Didn't Shep just post a bunch of pictures about this in the WaPo China thread?

Yup

Shouldn't the Chinese Stealth fighter resemble the F-22 and be made out of brittle brightly colored plastic with "UASF" painted on the side?
