Hi couldn't send you a PM, that's why I'm explaining it this way, check the following pics of a flying T50 and you will see, that the baseline of the fitgher (marked in red), from the tail sting, alongsided the weapon bays to the cockpit section and the direction of the engine / air intakes are different:

You can see that the back part of the engine and the nozzles are higher than the front part with the compressors and the air intake is even lower. That's why only a part of the compressor can be seen, which however depends on the final configuration of the AL 41 engine, as well as ducts, or radar blockers. The bottom line is, it is not just a straight line of air intake and engine, like it was on the Flanker series.
