Not exactly ... esp. the second one I saw is different.
Anyway, that long slender nose is really strange.

Enough space for a large nose radar as well as large side arrays.
Yes, but anyway strange and at least an argument against all who think this is the next carrier-borne aircraft for the PLAN!
洋务先驱张之洞 says the main array's dimension is atleast the size of the V004 possibly larger
I am going to contradict something I said previously. These clips now show how truly thin those wings are and the amount of space the inlet tunnels and engines occupy. Meaning that most of the room for weapons is above and forward of the intakes, including areas around, on top and in front of them. Besides radar and cruising abilities, that forward area has been maximized for payload. That also means that the pilot sits higher up as a result.
very highly doubt weapons bays in front of the engines. smoke ingestion from any sort of weaponry located forward of intakes is never desirable.
someone over at secretprojectsforum said the wingtips don't have any authority as they seem to be flapping around and not doing anything. I think the ailerons are rotating in the opposite direction to the wingtips to counter roll, so only yaw is induced which is hard to see, making it seem like the wingtips aren't doing anything.
Someone failed their aerodynamics 101 and it shows.
anyone can make an account on spf. that there are a few sme's within that community does not confer authority upon the entire community.
its not really worth anyone's while to laugh at the peanut gallery.
