Asia Times: Can China’s next-gen stealth fighter surpass the F-35?

China's designer of the J-20, Yang Wei, says future jet fighter will have advanced Artificial Intelligence capabilities

In its ever-expanding push for military superiority, China has set its sights on a next-generation stealth fighter on par or greater than America’s F-35, that it hopes to field by 2035, says the chief designer of the Chengdu J-20.

According to the Global Times, the description of advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities and systems appears to mirror that of the F-35, meaning that it has an autonomous computerized ability to gather, organize and present an array of otherwise disparate pools of information for pilots, National Interest reported.

Quoting J-20 designer Yang Wei, the paper states, “a future fighter jet will generally require a longer combat range, longer endurance, stronger stealth capability, a larger load of air-to-air and air-to-surface weapons, and the functionality to provide its pilot with easy-to-understand battlefield situation images and predictions.”

Was this fighter planned before the Texas "nest of spies" was shut down?
The plane seems behind the times if it will not be ready until 20035 or thereabouts.

This plane is just junk. Radar evasion is not only done by shape, but it is still very important. Just looking at this plane: it is amazing how it was done "in emergency" just for "having a stealth fighter too". Second, comparing the F-35 which is not a superiority air fighter to the J20 is non sense. The real comparison is with the F-22...and this is an other story. That said, the F-35 is a system of system, and I am very doubtful the J20 is one. And that is a game changer too.

Will never happen, the Indians have shown Mig29kms and even the French Rafale will out class it. When an Air Commodore shows up with a strike group of fighters... Flanked by Fulcrums.

Its little things, only known in combat. Each and every human that pilots these beasts is a super computer. The F15 has an enormous kill/death ratio, and what you think J20 can compete?

Can you even get it off the airfield?
