CHENGDU, China--A prototype of China's next-generation stealth fighter, the Jian-20, maneuvered along a runway Thursday, but initial plans for a test flight were postponed.

The stealth fighter made its appearance on the runway at the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, a military aircraft manufacturer.

Company officials confirmed to The Asahi Shimbun that the aircraft was the stealth prototype.

While photos of the Jian-20 have appeared on the Internet, Chinese Foreign Ministry officials Thursday refused to confirm or deny if Beijing was developing a next-generation stealth fighter.

According to company sources, high-ranking members of the Communist Party's Central Military Commission and high-ranking Air Force officers observed the test.

The abrupt cancellation of the flight test may have been due to a mechanical problem.

Analysts have said that once the Jian-20 is deployed, it could pose a serious challenge to U.S. air supremacy in the Pacific region.
