Maneuverability of Chengdu J 20 Chinas 5th Gen Stealth Fighter Jet Under High G Loading
Many criticized the canard feature of J20 as being nonstealth, but last year USA released its 6th gen jet F, AXX design featuring canard. The destabilizing DeltaCanard design offers great benefit for maneuverability and reducing drag at supersonic speed, however it requires complex flight control system to keep it from decreasing stall recoverability which could be dangerous. Which could be the reason why most 5th gen jets feature conventional swept wing design.
