Has anyone noticed the Boeing 6th generation concept has canards and dsi similar to j-20?

Well, on the BR forum it is thought to be like their AMCA...

It actually isn't...that's just an illusion because of the black bars on the left nozzle.

That's no illusion. You can use a ruler to measure. The only thing is the camera distorting effect but I doubt so.

I did use a ruler to measure, they're the same size.

I meant measuring the movable part of the petals i.e. the silver painted part of it.

Look VERY closely. It can be easy to miss, but there's a very faint line on the right one that indicates where the moveable portion of the petal ends, and a similar one behind the black bar of the left one that's a bit harder* to see. They're the same size.

Sneaky American stole the Chengdu J-20B concept as their 6th generation concept.

I don't mean the saw-tooth end, but the grey band before it. As to the size of the engine faring, they must have taken that into account in the design so that the intended larger engines can be installed without the need to redesign the engine compartment or faring.

I thought the silver engine on the right looks a little bigger than the left one too. Unless it's psed. This might be .......
