Flap don't look cropped/indented for the tails like on f-22 ad f-35c
J-35 carrier fighter (PLAN) thread

Anyone knows what engines it is using?
WS-13 or WS-19?
According to a part of a paper someone publicized last year the crop in the flap is very small and quite possibly not visible with this resolution

Now THIS sort of thing is what makes this forum worthwhile! One question though, as a naval fighter should it not have a built in ladder so mobile ladders don't have to be moved around on deck? Or is this just for the prototype/pre-production models?
I believe it does have such a ladder (our first pictures of the J-XY, taken from the left, shows 2 hexagons beneath the cockpit similar to the F35’s panel for ladder, and this new pic shows no such hexes from the right) I guess using an external ladder is easier to get in and out of, so as this is only testing they opted to do that.
That's the WS-19 picture right? Can we say J-35 is using it? Or it might be a WS-13 with serrated nozzles?

Are you saying this J-XY already have WS-19 engine????
Did we already confirm that the jagged nozzles engine is WS-19?
I am just remarking on the external appearance similarity.
To be fair, it's the other way around: JSF was specified to carry 2 2000 lb-class weapons.
It wasn't a design advantage. It was a design aim - you either fulfill it, or your design goes to the scrapyard.
For example, Sukhoi S-75 (also a single-engine fighter design) plays its cards in a completely different way.
J-XY(and FC-31) were never specified to do that, and have a "normal" 5th gen bay(but fitting into it a 2000-lb capable bay was certainly possible - for a corresponding price in performance/size)
