I think two only. I heard somewhere that there is a third one, but I think that's false.

I'm guessing that there will at least be 10 prototypes within the next 3 years. They need a ton of prototypes to shorten the development period, especially if they want to stick with their timeline.

2004 emerge suddenly, is it PS?

And this was done probably with the AL-31 engine. The much more powerful engine WS-15 engine will allow much more impressive feats. One of reason for the demonstration of maneuverability even on AL-31 is due to the superior aerodynamic design to reduce air friction and drag.

Video of this capability.

The engine of J-20 remains as a mystery till now, it doesn't look like the AL-31F engine.

However, the features are also not typical for the TH engine.

Not a P.S. But there are speculations that 2004 is either a carbon copy or a repainted 2002.
