J-20S vs. F-47: China Puts a Human in the Back Seat Where America Is Betting on AI
China and the United States agree that the decisive aircraft in future air combat will be the one directing drone swarms — not the one pulling the trigger. But they disagree sharply on who should sit in the command seat. In July 2025, the PLAAF officially commissioned the J-20S, the world's first twin-seat stealth fighter, placing a human Mission Systems Officer in the rear cockpit to manage electronic warfare and drone coordination. The U.S., by contrast, is keeping its F-35, F-22, and forthcoming F-47 single-seat, betting that AI autonomy can do the same job without a second crew member.
