| − | The J-20 is designed to be a heavily armed long range interceptor aircraft, with advanced stealth capabilities and a combat radius of over 1000 nautical miles. When compared with American jet fighters the J-20 is inferior to the F-22 Raptor, but competitive.When Comparing the T-50 PAK FA to the J-20, both fighters seem to be comparable in terms of range. The PAK FA has superior maneuver capability, superior avionics and more thrust. |

Description
The J-20 shows a delta-wing canard design. Although some say otherwise, the J-20 bears certain similarities to the F-22 and MiG-1.44. The cockpit of the J-20 is very similar to that of the Raptor, while the general design of the plane looks similar to the MiG-1.44. Like the F-35 Lightning II the J-20 has a Diverterless Supersonic Inlet. Judging by the aircraft's large frame and design, it can be assumed that the J-20 may be used as a long range strike fighter and not as a pure air superiority design.
