Is that the weapons bay with no obvious serration?

There's a weapons bay with no obvious serration that we know of?

Or are you asking does that weapon bay have no obvious serration..? In which case I think it's way too hard to tell with that angle. Chances are it is serrated, going with all the care elsewhere on the plane so far.

Indeed a high res version of this picture would be wonderful ...I believe and i bet those bay doors ARE serrated, otherwise why have they bothered with the gear doors and sidebay doors and so on? They has to be serrated.

There are other high-def photos. It was obvious that the doors are serrated.

What is 'serrated'? Example like the weapon bays on F22?

Yes. You can also notice the serration on the J-20's landing gear cover, as mentioned by one of the posters above.

It just means a saw tooth edge. Or reworded, an edge like a saw, with all the little triangular "teeth" on the blade.

Interesting Read on how TsAGI was partially involved in early J-20 program.

Look at the clearness!!! It's just "so wrong" you can even see the weapon bay.

Some news, eyewitness account:

The naval J-10 flew for one and a half hour. J-7MG, J-7E, JF-17, and K-8 flew three times. They dragged the J-20 out for a runway taxi test but it didn't fly, unfortunately.

Some news is better than no news.

Naval J-10?

As in J-10A for the navy or a carrier borne variant?

And how do you do a glide test if the plane doesn't fly off the ground?
