The fifth-generation Chinese J-20 fighter jet has witnessed improvements in engine performance, aerodynamic design and sensor systems, as part of efforts to develop the capabilities of the Chinese Air Force and improve the integration of its combat operations.
The official Chinese central television CCTV stated that the development of the J-20 family of fighters comes in a broader change in the Chinese air force, as military commentators noted that the aircraft is increasingly designed to operate within an integrated combat network, rather than being limited to its role as a single fighter for air superiority.
