I would say most likely hidden here ...

no its more likely that its an air depression flap. as it s just in the begining of the intake

Hi my friend, there is a mechanisme for canard rotation in that location, so forget about your canon.

Good - even to say so a "solid" - argument. However where is it then and why this difference to the right side ?

But I'm sure we will know some day ...

I agree with Monsieur hk, that the hydraulic actuator for the canard is in the vicinity, so to put the cannon there would be problematic in terms of volume space and stress.

But if you and others are wondering about the small and oddly shaped panel next to the larger and squared one, and that it does not exist on the other side of the jet, I suspect that small and oddly shaped panel is a frequently access maintenance door.

Gun here?

 

[Brainsucker]

Why do they put the gun far to left from the center?

This one is clearly WS-10X, since the external flaps are unsealed, unlike those of the AL-31F.

Nope ... just look at the ratio of the individual pedals but I know we will never agree as it seems.

Nope, we believe what we saw this time.

J-20 will go into service with domestic engine. That is for sure.

 

[Deino]

To admit I saw these images yesterday but did not think that t was something special ...

Can anyone confirm that yesterday two J-20s were delivered to PLAAF Cangzhou test and training base ??

[星海军事]

Let’s make a bet on this.

I bet all J-20s we saw so far (2001, 2002, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, and several LRIP ones) are now using non-domestic engines and J-20 will enter service with non-domestic engines. I will cease this account If I lose.

Deadline: A credible direct participant or an official documentary of Project 718 confirms the suggestion of either side.

Who's in?

 

[Deino]

I already offered the same a few post before, but esp. Beast refused.

looks good.. so which engine will it use for now.. is it in final testing stage or still long way to go.. hope china finishes it soon as indians want to see it flying over south china seas and may be in indian ocean ...
