The J-20 also performed some maneuvers on the 27th. Apparently they looked better than what the J-10 had been doing at airshows. Stay tuned for the videos!

New images of the plane in action:

The new images are significant since we are able to confirm, once and for all, some of the points raised in Dr. Song's paper. We can clearly see the vortices generated by the LERX, intakes, and the canards.

Yes, I loaded them yesterday , they were slow, but today they are like molasses. Yes I did get your pm, wifey says I need a real job. She said writers are like artists, they might starve or have to find a "rich wife", but I liked your suggestion. This does kind of look like airshow practice, with all the low altitude turning and burning, and quick transitions to the vertical. It looks good and the transitions looks smooth, I still wish someone on here could explain all that control flicking right after startup, must be the flight control system self checking and returning to some master reset values. I assume the surfaces are electro/hydraulic or electro/mechanical. One of the most impressive things I have ever seen at an air show was Zeke, doing a tailslide in the Raptor. It was mind boggling to watch the flight control system hold it perfectly vertical, while the horizontal stabs were flopping back and forth like some aerial seal, all in reverse!

I thought those points have already been confirmed since last year.

Yes, there were some older images that showed what looked like big vortices. But the pictures were pretty blurry, so there was still some wiggle room to say... Um, actually I don't really know what the skeptics were saying, but the pictures were pretty blurry.

1、 wifey says I need a real job. She said writers are like artists, they might starve or have to find a "rich wife", but I liked your suggestion.

Regarding 1、I didn't mean for you to turn into a professional writer, just write down the fond memories you relish.

Regarding 2、That sounds...tantalizing! Hehe... Can you manage to find a video clip of that?
