“G-20 triangular wing”; A fighter to attack deep into enemy territory

According to the report of Fars International News Agency, the triangular-wing G-20 radar-evading fighter made by China has been in various stages of development for almost a decade, and according to experts, it is inspired by three types of Russian and American fighters.

website19 Forty FiveOn Sunday, in an article written by “Alex Hollings”, China has a history of imitating the designs and technologies of its competitors, and the evidence shows that the Chengdu G-20, the country’s top stealth fighter, is no exception to this rule.

According to this report, the G-20 is the first non-American stealth fighter in the world to be operational and effectively ended the 34-year monopoly of the United States in this field. The G-20 is not exactly like other fifth-generation fighters, despite the accusations of its competitors.

* G-20 is the first non-American stealth fighter in the world

Chengdu G-20 is China’s first fifth-generation fighter, whose roots go back to the country’s program in the late nineties. In 2008, about 11 years after the first flight of the F-22 Raptor, the Chengdu project was chosen as the basis for China’s first stealth fighter, which went into production in 2017. This single-seat, twin-engine fighter has a wingspan of over 42 feet and is larger than the F-22. This fighter is often compared to the US F-22 air superiority fighter, but it is technically designed to play a different role.

The maximum speed of this fighter is Mach 2 and the flight ceiling is 66,000 feet. The jet can carry four medium- or long-range missiles and two additional short-range air-to-air missiles.

* J-20 It attacks the enemy’s heart

While the Raptor has always been intended to dominate aerial combat, the G-20 was originally designed to fly deep into enemy territory and conduct strikes against ground targets. China has since devoted considerable energy and resources to plugging the air combat capability gap, incorporating new systems such as thrust vector control into the latest versions of the jet to make it a more dynamic fighter-interceptor. The G-20 is said to use the Russian IL-31F engine, which the Chinese bought for half a billion dollars.

* The G-20 fighter is derived from three examples

In conclusion, the G-20 is most likely the offspring of three different stealth fighters. The overall design of this fighter may be heavily adapted from Migoyan’s MiG-1.44 project, but its performance is similar to Lockheed Martin’s F-35 and F-22 fighters.
