I deleted the front wings J-20 is more handsome like this
The J-20 is designed for canards; unlike, say, a Su-35 where canards are optional features (adds a bit more high-alpha, improves maneuverability, but increases weight and reduces thrust), the J-20 MUST operate with canards due to the wing layout.

The only issue with the canards is that they're not properly aligned with the anhedral wings for stealth; the current alignment is beneficial in terms of aerodynamics, but tilting the canards downwards means they're coplanar with the opposite wing and thus reduce RCS somewhat.

It's just part of the J-20's trade-offs between performance, stealth, range, payload, and maneuverability.

Is this two seater J20 real or just a fan boy creation? Original here

It is “officialish” art on display at Zhuhai. Some of the details are off though. For one this aircraft still uses Russian engines. My suspicion is that they simply PSed two-seater cockpit onto an image of a legacy J-20.

You’re not allowed to call it a day. We live in a world of rampant military forum censorship and information disappearing before most people can see it and THIS IS ZHUHAI you have a duty sir.

Yes sir!
