The J-20 is a fifth-generation heavy twinjet stealth fighter aircraft developed by China and it has entered service with Chinese air force in 2017. The J-20 features all-moving canards, all-moving vertical fins and DSI intakes. The use of low-observable designs like coated integrated cockpit canopy, twin outward-canted fins and hatches with serrated sawtooth edges have elevated its stealth capabilities to a world-class level. The WS-15 engine used by the J-20 is a low-bypass thrust-vectoring turbofan engine developed by China specifically for fifth-generation aircraft. It can generate a maximum thrust of around 18 tons, enabling supersonic cruising while significantly increasing range and payload capacity. Thanks to the advanced technologies it uses, the J-20 which has high stealth performance, high situational awareness and high maneuverability is now undoubtedly one of the world’s top fighter aircraft.
