Chinese 5th generation J-20 & J-31 - Pics & Videos

How is that any different than this? You can see it from the front too. J-20 simply moved the horizontal tail vin to the front.

It isn't. A lot of aerospace commentators are incorrectly saying that moving canards are unstealthy, even though they are no different from all moving horizontal tails, like those found on the F-22.

Of course, the axisymmetric nozzles on the T-50, F-35, and J-20 are somewhat bad for stealth from the back, but the significance of this is often overemphasized.
