Holy cow, those CG's are like flipping identical to the Plan view of the pic 70092 gave!Following that "sketch" and descriptions it could be similar to this CG !??

the reason why China declined to cooperate with Russia was because WS-15 went smoothly, that's the biggest concern they should have.
^ But for argument's sake I think we all assume the WS-15 to be the T/W: 10.1 engine, just to keep things nice and flowing ya know?WS-15 may be 20,000lbs. thrust engine,same class as F-404 engine.it is likely that twin engine J-10 power two Ws-15 may be in the drawing board

It is possible, as there were proposals in which the gains from the incorporation of LERX justify the loss of efficiency in the canards by having them on the same plane as the wings.without going into the credibility of the last picture, i do have question about the design shown in it. Canards seem to close to the wings and yet they're on the same plane as the wings. We haven't seen that in a succesful fresh design. Even eurofighter's canards, which are unusual in the sense that they're quite far apart from the wings, are positioned slightly higher than the wings. And, of course, all the other (originally concieved with) canard planes have them close coupled with the wings and positioned higher up. Various demonstrators made out of f15 or f4 haven't done much to popularize canard and wing on the same level design, as well as su33 or mki, which have them as an additional surface.
WS-15 suppose to be 30,000lbs thrust.. To be used to power future JXX and giving it super cruise capabilities.
Personally I find it hard to believe that the plane will have canards, I think if canards made sense then the Russians or Americans would have used them.
