Beautiful! I can't help but to think about "lineage".
Here is a side by side comparison :

One can clearly see the evolution of the design, very much like how the F-22 was evoluted offspring of F-15.

In Dr. Song's paper from more than ten years ago the air intakes of what was to become the J-20 were still below the fuselage and not yet beside it.Beautiful! I can't help but to think about "lineage".

IIRC it was in the description. But I remember thinking at the time that the J-20 would have a larger fuselage lift and maybe a lower radar reflection from the side ( something I know little about ) than the aircraft as described by Dr. Song.
If the satellite passes overhead at the right time and the weather is merciful and the Chinese is willing to let out the birds, yes.
I'm gonna disagree with you here Ultra, I do think it bears a closer resemblance to the Mig 1:42 and 1:44 although that might not be popular to say here? but, it has a lifting body fuse, and distant coupled canards, as I have said it is uniquely Chinese, but the only DNA traces I see are??? well???? I ain't gonna say it, but definitely not F-22.Beautiful! I can't help but to think about "lineage".

And the F-22 is NOT an offspring in any way shape or form of the F-15, its a totally different animal, the F-15 is all analog, and all wing, all the time? The F-22 is a direct decendant of the alien bird from Roswell, and you "know" that as well as I do? Heh, Heh, Heh, don't tell all our secrets?? LOL
Now having said that, this is a "Songbird", from one of my heroes, he is da man, and this is a very Chinese bird, it is KOOL, and if carried to its logical conclusion is a very capable aircraft, but like the F-22, there is a little "alien" DNA here as well?

J-20's design actually has been around much longer, despite J-10 came out earlier.Beautiful! I can't help but to think about "lineage".
