LKF601E AESA radar for the JF-17... This is apparently the world's first air-cooled AESA radar. The bad English on the information placard says it's "equipped with FC-1". FC-1 is of course another name for JF-17. The Chinese on the placard could mean the radar is 1)designed for JF-17, or 2)already equipped on JF-17, or 3)destined/chosen for JF-17.
Any info on whose booth that was?
The design looks unique containing elements of Boeing and LM concepts with a F-22 style exhaust. Doesn't seem to be reused western art as far as what I remember seeing.
Indeed a very different one from the J-10. Not only that it does not have the bulge, but it seems to have a gap between the outer nozzle and fixed part of the engine back end. Is it some sort of ejector type?

I wish I could answer you but I've no clue of the technical details regarding turbofan engines.
