Boundary layer suction tech on the intakes??

The only similar example I can think of is the YF-23s intakes?

Intakes still mysterious, no bulges visible

Not quite as detailed as the other ones but still interesting.

Also, this comparison between the J20A and the Shenyang aircraft:

Here is the look of internal weapon bay doors. Looks like 2 sets of split doors.

The best images so far.

Please note that the images are cropped version of the originals, which were taken by an Oppo Find 8 from a long distance, likely by its telephoto lens. Some enhancements have been applied to the images, almost certainly done by the phone's image processing software and therefore couldn't be avoided.

Guys, am I seeing things or theres some kind of bay hatch on groove.

If the J-50 is as long as the J-20, it'll have a wingspan of 18 meters. Or a L/W ratio of 1:1.18 vs 1:1.63 for the J-20.

Well considering the J-36 is wider than it is long, a wingspan of 18 meters for the J-XDS seems not implausible.

Of course, there are seemingly 4 door sections going right across the belly including groove. Each left and right section has 2 doors each that are articulated when opening like i think on J-20 and J-35.
