Extremely informative photo, all should note, that the twisting vortice is coming form the inboard trailing edge of the canard, though we can see that it is propagating from the juncture of the hinge of the canard, its clear that it arrives at the inboard leading edge of the main wing full of energy and intact, and doesn't begin to break up until several feet behind the main wings inboard leading edge.

latenlazy and others, your mentally cataloging each picture, is an amazing feat, thank you I enjoy them. The study of aerodynamics of the J-20 where we have such active, visible vortices allow us a great deal of insight into the incredible amount of lift generated by the J-20.
