Chinese J-20 geared up for first flight today

Chengdu air space will be closed from 1300-1500 Local (0500-0800 UTC) And today show tables, chairs and red carpets at No. 132 aircraft plant this morning. better higher resolution images will be coming out soon from the first flight .But the mystery remains what engines they are been used , major section of experts believe it to be Al-31F -117s , while there is also small section who believe that it might be powered by D-30F6 engines which are powering Mig-31 and Mig-1.44 Demo aircraft from Mig corporation , recent image of aircraft with different nozzle texture might indicate that Chinese might be having both engines at their disposal , still our expert believe J-20 will be powered by Al-31F variant engine , we leave you with latest images to take your call .

Both are the same 2001 prototype.

The engine is the same. The first picture with the black nozzle would be the AL-31F or 117s without the flexible petals while the second picture has flexible petals. I guess that's about it.

The yellow little thing in front of the cockpit could be a panel for an accelerometer or some other equipment. The black skin would be removed to get to the electronics. The yellow colour is the composites beneath the skin. Let's just say the J-20 is one step ahead of the T-50 when it comes to the stealthy outer skin.

such a long body looks like an old design~
Judging by the newest pictures J20 is max 20-21m long, this means it is at most 1 meter longer than PAK-FA, and likely shorter than Su27/30/J11. It is hardly surprising as it uses same lines of engines(AL31/WS10) destined for the latter.

All those J20 against who type analysis needs to be thrown out because this is not what China thinks when designing this aircraft. J20 is just one of many new systems coming out from China these days that are meant to bridge the technological gap between China and the more advanced nations like US, Europe and also Russia. China is not designing this aircraft to count any any specific air crafts or any specific air force out there. Rather it is the logical development for a nation that has come long way in building up the economy and its technological prowess.

Let me repeat:

J-20 is just the tip of a "huge" iceberg. It is part of a comprehensive and ultra-modern system and a small but important start. Lots of goodies, whether land-based, sea-going, air-borne or space-ferrying, are coming out in the next few years. Expect to see pictures as they come out. You lot won't have to wait for long.
yes. Chinese defence industry will have a abrupt rise based on the strenth accumulated for the last decade.

Note the different engines and the head paint jobs(the 1st pic lacks the flag-shaped yellow paint clearly visible on the 2nd pic):
