It's the name of the radar itself.
In the same way that "EOTS" and "EODAS" are the names of the specific subsystems on the F-35, and do not refer to the entire class or type of sensors.

My point is that this entire granular comparison over these two AEWC types in context of the J-20 mention by the USAF general, is misguided and not very useful.
Pretty sure EOTS was used for anti air missiles too?
I don't understand what you mean.
EOTS stands for "Electro Optic Targeting System," which is the brand/trade name for the AAQ-40 system on the F-35 specifically.
I'm not sure which anti-air missile you are talking about, but the point of my reply was of course referring to the use of the name "EOTS" which has been incorrectly used in a generic manner to describe other similar chin mounted electro optic systems, when it is technically only the trade name for the AAQ-40.
Ok, not sure about electro optic trageting system. I was thinking of the electro optical tracking system on missiles like Hawk.

If you use the distance between tail fins of each aircraft as a counter, it should be 8 J20.
Siege wants his J-20 flavoured sausage packs too, don't forget.
On topic, you think once the dual seaters go into production they will stop with the singles, or continue building both, since loyal wingmen seem to be the future?
impossible to say beforehand.
If I'd be guessing, the current plan is probably both, with the majority remaining to be singles.
But it can go either way.
