主题：【原创】再谈四代 -- 晨枫

my suite mate.

To 晨枫：

First off, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I think the Chengdu J-20 is an interesting study both in its capabilities and its potential competitiveness on the defense systems market.

My friend has told me that you are a Chinese engineer living in Canada but that's all I know, so I was wondering if you could also tell me a little bit about yourself and your education.

What interests me most about the J-20 is how it compares with the Lockheed F-22 considering the shape of the plane itself is so similar. I'm sure that since the F-22 is older that the software is fairly different from the J-20 but do you happen to know how the J-20's flight length and weapon systems compare with the F-22 or even the F-35?

Also, I've seen head-on pictures of the J-20 with one of the vertical stabilizers on the tail turned almost 90 degrees, which my friend claims contributes to maneuverability.

However, if the J-20 were to get in a dogfight and turn the stabilizer that far over, wouldn't the speed of the fighter rip the stabilizer off? Do you know what purpose a fully movable stabilizer would serve besides compactness on the ground?

Thanks again for your time!
