I seem to remember somebody mentioning that, do you remember the result of the ensuing debate?

If that frontal shot is real... that is looking good. Very cheeky. Just imagine if they painted a mouth with fangs and the adjustable DSI like mentioned in that interview I posted a while back. The J-XX up your six with a big growing grin coming at you from behind...

Of course DSI.
In Chengdu many people have seen it.
Guys, long time no see!!!

Re: New Generation Fighter
Until it flew, got filmed of its underbelly we can't tell how big the weapon stroage bay is. But the common sense would be it'd pretty useless if it's not able to house the SD-10 or the current line of LGB and "Chinese-JDAM".
See, most of the Chinese ASM are pretty big, only carried by H-6 or JH-7. Besides, if J-20 is destined for the PLAAF, that won't be their concern - anti-ship missions are PLAN air arm's role.
First the PLA have to lax on the art restriction, then improve their "art sense"...man, I'd love to see something like the Czech AF or Japan's ASDF plane art.
Right, let's get back to topic...

Look at the nose, the white holes reserved for something, at the bottom there is one too, and behind the cockpit.
T-50 might very well have DAS too

Chinese BBS report that there was a high speed taxi trial today, during which the aircraft raised its head and then released the parachute. The raising the head part is very significant as it offers valuable data for determining the aircraft's aerodynamic performance, which may be compared with simulation data and allow for more accurate simulation models to predict actual take off and landing performances. I expect some data crunching in the next few days and unless something's wrong, a first flight should follow very shortly after!

CCTV apparently reported this test on the news. That'll probably mean we'll get to see video at some time.
