They are infront of the landing gear bays, arranged in the same manner as the F-22.

I also think so, since the engine are so close together, the only place is in front of the landing gears and maybe a smaller bay behind the front landing gear and before the engine. I might be wrong, but it sure is unique and gorgeous
So for a quick summary: We saw 2001 fly today, that was the first plane to be seen on pics and the one we originally believed to use AL-31F or WS-10A or so, is that what the high res photos show, or are there different nozzles completely?
The one good pic showing the plane in front of the buildings should be an approach? The rudders seem partially deflected symmetricly, that is, not used to yaw the plane, but to function as an airbrake.
On the pics with the gear down we can see the small door between the rudders open with the yellow box showing, that's holding the drag chute? So basicly gear position determines the state of the drag chute system. Meaning gear down brings the chute to a ready position.
The HUD looks strange somehow, almost like it's an oval glass with it's mounting going all the way around?
The gear doors really actually hang from the plane the whole time, looks wiered, I though at least the front part doors would close when the gear is not in transit, but ok.
From the bottom, it doesn't look like the weapon bays could be really that big any more. Apparently a config similar to F-22 in front of the gear, and probably nothing, or only small space behind it, since that's where the engines are. Or does the bottom bay extent between the main landing gear?
The surface seems to be really smooth.

if that is indeed the case its a fairly undiplomatic reacton by the Chinese. they are obviously mocking gates. there is no way that they didnt know about the fighter. it costs billions to develop and guess where the funds came from? yup the state department...so at least Hu Jintao, Wen Jiabao, Xi Jinping and Zhang Dejiang(vice premier in charge of industry) should know about it...

No, they were not function air brakes. They deflected in such a way to help lift the tail up, so quite the opposite.
Ah thanks, now I can see the bombing bay doors. That's pretty impressive finish, I must say, those things are barely visible even with this much resolution.

Why did the J-20 have a J-10 wingman today? Was it taking pictures from above? Why did they fly in formation?
