Chen zhongyan, a well known military insider in China, recently talks abut the JXX:
Chen's background:
He had worked in aero-related China military industry, and then obtained his doctor degree from one of two best graduate schools in the area of aero-engineering in China, and he is now enlisted in the PLA.
According to him:
CAC's 5th generation fighter has already done in 2009 (besides perhaps only lacks engines), it is likely this year this fighter can get maiden flight and we may see this thing very soon.
According to him, the fighter is "very science-fiction looking", the fighter's layout is fully blended, thus you can not tell wing from the body as clear as you do with today's aircraft (一体化气动布局), althrough B-2 is likely an exmaple of being fully blended.
The AESA radar, control interface, weapon systems (AAMs) for the fighter are all ready, and the engine, WS-15, is near ready, althrough it is still likely to use WS-10 for maiden flight.
