Nope, AL-31s... check the nozzles.

They are silver white nozzles, means domestic engine WS-10G, 155KNs (15816 kg).

It may not real "maiden flight" at all. the real "maiden flight" might have finished somewhere else long ago.

But it might be the first public flight...with domestic engines.

the bomb bay was not closed obvioulsy for some reason....perhaps for experimental-data collecting.

Bomb Bay or Emergency Exit doors ?

Hu Jintao will meet Robert Gates in two hours after the maiden flight.

e...isnt the white door is used for storage the wheels?

i heard that wheels wont be folded on first flying test~

I would say they are the Flexible Petals on a Al-31. But I would still like to give the benefit of the doubt to the J-20 team. It would be a remarkable achievement if the WS-10G has been successfully tested. Good show on the first flight.

I saw some images wherein it has got two different Nozzles.

That is the WS-10 on the left and Al-31 on the right. WS-10 nozzle doesn't open nearly as much as the Iris nozzles.
