The pilot who first flew the J-20 believes that China s most advanced stealth fighter jet will be upgraded with 2D thrust vectoring nozzles for its engines, according to a recent news report.
This means the warplane will receive enhanced maneuverability and stealth capability and surpass its US counterpart, the F-22, a Chinese military expert said on Monday.

China’s J-20 jet could be upgraded with 2D thrust vectoring nozzles for its engines, a feature that will give it enhanced maneuverability and stealth capability.
The J-20 is expected to be equipped with engines with 2D thrust vectoring nozzles, said Li Gang, the pilot of the J-20 s first flight, when asked about his expectations on the future development of the J-20 s thrust vector control capability in a recent interview with Hong Kong-based Phoenix TV aired on Monday.
Can the upgrade make the J-20 Jet better than U.S. F-22?
