Where in the world could that photo have come from? Can we confirm that it is from the J-20? It certainly doesn't resemble either the WS-10 or AL-31F, however, that only tells us that the afterburner is different.

I think someone just merged two photos together. The first pic that came out shows the yellow J-10 past the shelters. The second shows the J-10 behind the shelter. Whether or not some of the J-20s are PSed... I don't know. The one in the hangar looks like the canopy is open. The only pic I have of that angle with the canopy open is one of the very first images that was blurry but the intakes look big. This pic they look small. I don't know what order is what but the J-20 and the yellow J-10 looks they moved from behind the shelters in one pic to being past the shelters in the next.
I switched back and forth between the two. They are exactly identical pictures, except one has the plane and one doesn't. Either they planted a tripod with a camera there and took two photos at different times, or it's a PS.
That engine is not the WS-10 we see in display. I counted the vanes and the numbers don't match up. It's possible this is a new engine, new variant of the WS-10a, or just a different nozzle on an engine we're already familiar with.
Could it possibly be an engine we already know about (WS-10, Al-31) with a different afterburner nozzle? Maybe they improved the afterburner on a known engine to reach greater wet thrust?

All the 6 panels could also have their own set of hinges. That way there're more flexibility on opening the doors possibly taking stealth into consideration. This arrangement should also better handle the aerodynamics of opening doors in midflight. The disadvantage is that the door mechanism would be more complicated this way and each missiles would need its own set of mechanism to hold it and extend it out from the bay. This could be simplify though if a pair of (or set of 3) missiles are mechanically linked so that they move together.

Its The Good Time Making Some Money Of J-20! By The Way, Did They Pay For The Rights?
The company name is "Shi Jiazhuang hypo-light-speed tech Ltd".
Survey: What is the Code of Practice / Standard in YOUR COUNTRY, for lifting safety?
Cause as you can see, when things getting hypo-light-speed, Standard is different!
Answer to A.Man: Nobody would pay any fee, for something technically not existing. (Don't ever forget THAT)
Oh, you're right. This is in Shijiazhuang. Next time I stop by Cangzhou to see family I'll definitely take a look XD
Agrre, but they are not 100% exact ... also the yellow J-10 was on the move !
I just tried to put all three "photos" together for comparison ... IMO the last is most likely faked by a simple combination of both, but I still have some strange feeling (maybe it's hunger

J-20 both prototypes - comparison.jpg
Look at the nozzles of this engine, and compare it to the J-20's silver engine petals unfolded out like this -- they're identical. Unless this is a PS, I'm thinking this is the J-20's current engine (or at least engine nozzle at any rate) which we are looking at.
Ohh, how peculiar. I guess it was taken on a tripod. Of course, maybe the entire thing was a PS?!Agrre, but they are not 100% exact ... also the yellow J-10 was on the move !
