Looking at these images I think they might have done some further revisions to the taper on the engine nacelles.

The TVC engine nozzle of J-10b at Zhuhai looks so much better than what J-20 is having at Zhuhai.

Have there been examples where we see them uncovered? I'm not sure if I've seen that but never really noticed a coloured glassy cover on J-20. Could this indicate that this is just how it is and the equipment can emit/receive past the cover material? I don't know if they still have optical sensors and I won't pretend to know how DAS works.

I believe there have been many photos showing the EO uncovered and with proper equipment inside.

And now we also have 78231 - 78233 confirmed ... eventually + 78234.

Are you at Zhuhai now? Just wondering... So envious of you!!!

With the J-20 potentially showing some more exciting moves and the J-10 with TVC, You’ve picked one of the most exciting Zhuhai shows!

Very Good Photo. Can I use the photos to do an interactive infographic on the J-20? I mention the owners of the photos at the bottom of the page. I would also like to involve you in the project, and I post it here on the forum.
Ciao from Italy.

No one here owns the photos. You’ll have to trace the photos back to their original sources on the Chinese military forums.

I hope they pull some tighter turns for the actual show. This practice routine looks slow and conservative. Don't see why they wouldn't show off J-20 a little if the plane is able to perform. Notice no afterburner used in the practice run.

Pretty much anything would be better than the 2016 show. Two fly down the runway, one flies off, the remaining aircraft does a few turns, flies away.

I am bursting with joy at all these pictures....! Thank you.
