With the J-20 stealth fighter performing a wonderful aerial flight performance at the Zhuhai Air Show, Academician Yang Wei, chief J-20, also publicly disclosed some information about the J-20 stealth fighter. Among them, "China has our J-20 in the southeast, west, north, and center" corresponds to the PLA's public statement that China's five major war zones have been equipped with J-20 stealth fighter jets. It can be seen that Academician Yang Wei’s public statement this time is still very credible.
When talking about the development of the J-20 stealth fighter, Academician Yang Wei gave more information. First of all, Academician Yang Wei affirmed that with the development of equipment, the J-20 stealth fighter will not stay at the current level. We will continue to iterate the J-20 stealth fighter jets in and launch the 1.0 version of the J-20, 2.0 version of the J-20 and 3.0 version of the J-20 . In fact, this is also very obvious in the existing J-20 stealth fighter.
From the production number at the edge of the canopy, the 03rd batch that was unveiled at the Zhuhai Air Show this time was the fourth production batch of J-20 stealth fighter after the 00th batch, 01th batch and 02th batch. The J-20s in batches 00 and 01 are equipped and used Russian engines, while the J-20 stealth fighters in batches 02 and 03 use domestic engines.
, and the fuselage process of the J-20 stealth fighter in batch 03 is obviously better than that in batch 02. This also shows that the J-20 stealth fighter is not only "small steps to run", but also the pace of the entire "small steps to run" is relatively fast. From changing the hair to improving the production process, the overall iteration speed is obviously getting faster and faster. Therefore, the 1.0 version of J-20, 2.0 version of J-20 and 3.0 version of J-20 are expected to be launched one after another soon. Although it is not clear what the differences between different versions of the J-20 are, we can guess what some of the functions and modules that need to be iterated next.
First of all, it is to change the vector thrust engine. The US "Military Observation" and other media have repeatedly stated that the J-20 stealth fighter, which has replaced the WS-10C engine, has achieved supersonic cruise. But in fact, regardless of whether the WS-10C really has the ability to allow the J-20 stealth fighter to conduct supersonic cruise, the next WS-15 engine will inevitably allow the J-20 stealth fighter to fully realize supersonic cruise and vector maneuverability. There is no exaggeration to the statement that
. At this Zhuhai Air Show, China has exhibited a number of vector thrust engines. And there are many target models, and it is obvious that relevant companies have solved technical problems and have come up with so many products. For China at present, the performance of vector thrust engines is actually not the most difficult. The most difficult thing is to have the PLA's requirements for performance indicators such as overhaul time when implementing vector thrust function.
And for the People's Liberation Army, vector thrust engines can also be said to be a "necessary need". In terms of the fifth-generation stealth fighter, both the J-20 stealth fighter and the J-35 stealth fighter must be equipped with vector thrust engines. In terms of fourth-generation fighter jets, the production time of a large number of J-16 fighter , J-10C fighter and J-15 carrier-based is similar to that of J-20 stealth fighter and J-35 stealth fighter. In order to still have relatively strong combat capabilities in the future combat environment, replacing a vector thrust engine for it has become an inevitable choice.
In addition to manned fighter , with the rapid development of drone technology in my country, various high-speed drones, especially high-speed drones that can cooperate with manned fighters, will continue to increase their maneuverability requirements for high-speed drones participating in air combat, and there is also the need to replace vector thrust engines.
Secondly, the subsequent iteration of the J-20 stealth fighter needs to begin to consider deepening the level of collaboration with other combat platforms. Academician Yang Wei himself mentioned this point, and his original words were "The J-20 will be better integrated into the land, sea, air and space combat systems."This means that the J-20 stealth fighter is actually able to cooperate with the combat systems of the land, sea, air and space platforms, and will continue to deepen the degree of this cooperation in the future.
"Loyal Wingman" is the first collaboration project that many people think of. In fact, many people still have conservative ideas about "loyal Wingman", believing that the "loyal Wingman" of the J-20 stealth fighter has only a few drones with stealth capabilities. In fact, we can be completely unconsistent with the form. Any drone that operates in a war zone or nearby airspace, or even a drone with slow flight speed and no stealth ability, can accept the command of the J-20 stealth fighter at any time when necessary, and become the "loyal wingman" of the J-20.
Finally, it is the mining of the performance of the two-seater version of the J-20 stealth fighter. The command of the "loyal wingman" can actually be gradually handed over to airborne computers to solve it. If the two-seater version of the J-20S stealth fighter is only used to command the drone swarm, then it would be a bit of a waste. At least, based on the J-20S fighter jet, we must derivate the J-20 fighter bomber that can perform stealth tactical bombing missions.
Of course, when the avionics level is comparable, the information and data processing capabilities of the two-seater version of the J-20S stealth fighter are obviously higher than that of the single-seater version of the J-20 stealth fighter. In this way, the two-seater J-20S stealth fighter can also produce professional air early warning and battlefield joint command models, as well as electronic warfare models responsible for complex electromagnetic situations.
In addition, Academician Yang Wei also publicly stated that as our strength increases, in addition to the J-20 stealth fighter, China will also be equipped with J-30, J-40 and J-50 fighter jets in the future. The so-called J-30, J-40 and J-50 fighters actually refer to fighters that can replace the J-20 stealth fighter in the future and have stronger overall combat performance. According to the habit and tradition of "equipment generation, development generation, and pre-research generation" of my country's military equipment, it can not only be confirmed that my country is already developing the sixth-generation stealth fighter, but also that my country has also begun related explorations and ideas for new fighters after the sixth-generation stealth fighter.

From the order of expression, Academician Yang Wei ranked the J-30, J-40, and J-50 fighters behind the 1.0 version of the J-20, 2.0 version of the J-20 and 3.0 version of the J-20. It can be seen from this that my country's sixth-generation stealth fighter and the fighter after the sixth-generation stealth fighter are technically related to the current J-20 stealth fighter.

So, this is indeed good news for China, which means that even if the United States is developing the sixth-generation stealth fighter, we will not be widened by the United States in the field of advanced aviation equipment, and there is even a possibility of surpassing the United States.
