Side profile + rear.

Low speed, low altitude, high angle turn! I was holding my breath cus I was scared there would be a boom at the end.
The side profile is smoother than i thought, the engine bump is flatter than anticipate.
Guys, I think we got the perfect nick name for the SHADE base on its sharp profile- Willow leaf! (it's also match with Ginko leaf)
Here’s a poetic line about willow leaves, from 咏柳 Ode to the Willow by He Zhizhang (Tang Dynasty)
不知细叶谁裁出，二月春风似剪刀。
I know not who tailored your leaves to be so thin,
The springtime breeze of February resembles a scissor.

The last pic/frame... I could almost see the canopy... almost...
The J-50 appears to be closer to a flying wing than was apparent in the previous views.
How the wingtips and flaps flutter is pure art.
