Re: New Generation Fighter
One main feature of J-XX's canard layout is it get a parrelleled canard layout, which means the front wings are on the same plane as the main wings.
This is the main differences between J-XX's canard layout and any existing canard-layout aircrafts like EF2000, Rafale, Mig-1.44,J-10, JAS-39, etc.
Also don't forget J-XX's other main feature is it get a long and large welled blended strake/lead edges, yet most of your pics don't have such features either.
I think most of your pics are from another early project in CAC:
During the time when the J-XX competition have not get a winner, the CAC, as any aggressive company, have self-funded another twin engine fighter project nick-named as "twin-engined J-10" just in case if they lost to SAC on 5th generation competition, they will then do this cheap project and hope to win some orders from Airforce as a cheaper variation of 5th generation fighter and maybe some oversea orders as well.
However, after CAC have won the 5th generation project, they quickly throw away this "twin-engined J-10" project, althrough they then self-fund another single-engine stealth J-10 project aiming at export market.
CAC is a very aggressive company and high moitived, when they get the money, they will self-funded a lot of projects and do a lot of early stage investigation in areas where there is a potential,even without any funds from the State, and like to take the hard work to go through the more challenged high-riks-high-return route.
This is in constrast to SAC, which wont do anything until the State tell them to do and always miss the deadline and end up with poor designs.
Therefore as China spend more and more money on her military sector, I think CAC is most likely will become China's Lockheed Martin whilst SAC will most likely end up as bankrupt or remain on life-support because its "too big to fail".
