On one hand I wish I could see the whole picture, on the other hand I don't want that guy to be arrested
There's something funny about CAC flying the J36 literally over peoples heads but we still don't definitively know whether the J-XS has a cockpit or not or anything about the intakes, cause even when this thing is captured flying right above, its somehow still a black mass. lmao.
However, If the pictures are too sensitive, can they at least describe its features?
Now with regards to getting arrested, when we consider the clear captures of the J-36, I think these guys are probably just being too careful or rather teasing, otherwise SAC doesn't need to fly it so low if they didn't intend for it to be captured so clearly; especially in Shenyang of all places. But, I have no idea about how China works so maybe my deductions are wrong.
I think we will be getting clearer pictures soon, fingers crossed!

J-XDS still needs to take off and land, which necessitates flying low at some point. Granted the SAC plant is situated further away from densely populated zones relatively speaking, but having people take a few photos of it being close to the ground still seems normal to me, and shouldn't be seen as evidence that SAC intending clear pictures of their jet to be taken
I can't quite see how it can work properly if it's a duct instead of an open groove, especially at higher angles of attack.
Also I'm pretty sure SAC did their homework and the groove (if it indeed exists) is a design feature that's best suited for their requirements, so personally I won't fuss over it too much
If it is real, then Ministry of State Security has already made tea for him
Not that I can see, it's a pretty standard (as standard as these things can be) pitot tube for testing purposes, so could be any jet really
edit: Deino posted this in the J36 thread so what we have last page is pretty likely to be from the J-XDS it seems
Chengdu next gen combat aircraft (?J-36) thread
Does anyone know why the gaps of the rear weren't even symmetric. Would any real gaps on an aircraft design menifestly dominated by stealth considerations be visible at this distance with average resolution image?

No, but this is clearly from a very high resolution full-frame image.
