I'd say it was only a matter of time before the Chinese and Soviets developed their own stealth aircraft. One would like to think that, as the original developers, we also have a leg up on detection of airborne stealth aircraft.

Hang him.
Plus Finn that's old technology. The new planes are probably so stealthy the pilots have a hard time finding them :) Pete |

I don't know whether the surface material somehow absorbed it, or reflected it at such a wild angle that the bounced signal wasn't detected. If the Germans had not been hamstrung by political infighting and fear of Hitler, what are the chances they might have won WW2? |

The thing we need to worry about is GE Aviation selling to China because from all reports the Chinese can't build reliable jet engines.

If this is a pic of the J-20, which was published by the UK mail, it looks like attempts to incorporate stealth technology were only partially successful:
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/...46_634x286.jpg Looks at the difference between the J-20 and the F-117. The stealth attributes of the F-117 come from its surface materials, but also from its shape. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/...65_634x286.jpg Maybe much adieu about nuttin'? |
OK. It does look a bit like the F-22, but the Chinese version looks A LOT bigger:
