I'm having flashbacks to the mid-late 2000s...

Would be nice for J-20 to get low vis markings, just to finally match with that earliest J-XX rendering from back in the day.

Indeed ... and this early rendering is in comparison remarkable accurate.

It would have a meaning, production, units equiped ... ?

I wonder if it was the result of a genuine insider leak.

I think it must have been something along those lines. Too many details are similar, everything from the overall length to wingspan ratio, the position of the various control surfaces, cockpit, even the LERX and tailstings.

Another leak was a similar rendering of SAC's triplane proposal, which also turned out very similar to the eventual wind tunnel images we saw of it.

I heard J20 production version will use WS10B or WS10C engines , with higher thrust than the AL31 currently used for testing.

Not sure how recent this image is ...
