A notional fighter that looks like the J-20, but with a tail radar between engines and different wings and tails. This is a study about aircraft vulnerability assessment tools (like BRL-CAD, FASTGEN, COVART, etc.) by a group of Chinese aerospace engineering students, with AVIC Chengdu...

Found some weeks ago at the same testsite at Wuhan, where also the Liaoning and other ships EW's systems were tested ... Now a few more interesting high-resolution photos from that new Chinese DDG ... said to be a test-stand for the Type 055 DDG: Since ships are really...

Hi, here is a Chinese amphibian flying boat aircraft,the AVIC TA-600 or AG600. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVIC_TA-600

I want to ask a question about when the J-10 programme first became known publically in the West, as well as the contentious issue of the possible Lavi connection, even if it is simply cosmetic, and hope that Deino perhaps can give some clarity on this. When were the first rumours of the J-10...

Hi everybody, It seemed we did not have any clearly identifiable thread on this subject yet. Now we do. Project 0901 is a national endeavor -- not to be confused with project 0902 (Fusion) -- and seems to broadly cover anything related to high-speed scramjet research for the purpose of flying...

On May 13, 2013, China launched a rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province. The Chinese Academy of Sciences stated it was a high-altitude scientific research mission, but unofficial U.S. government sources say it was actually a test of a new ballistic missile related...

Hi; Time is ripe to open a new thread dedicated to China's current advanced nuclear propulsion studies for future deep-space planetary exploration missions. On December 23, 2013, CAST disclosed that one particular 863 program entitled "Nuclear power spacecraft general technical and safety...
