Finally a new image of a J-35 prototype (below) in an interesting comparison to the FC-31V2 demonstrator no. 31003 (top).

So incredibly sleek. Can't wait to see it in full service.

Is that canopy slightly open on that top picture? If so, than that meant it would NOT be a front opening like the F-35. Just my opinion.

The canopy opens forwards like the F-35 in the 350003 prototype, which is the bottom one

Canopies of FC-31 prototypes 31001 and 31003 open rearward.
31001 has a two-piece canopy. 31003 and all J-35 prototypes have a single piece canopy with internal framing.

A bigger version.

I think those are the mockups we've seen before.
