(Note:  this photo appeared on the China Defense Forum. All I've done to it is rotate it and adjust contrast and brightness.)The impression here is of a big, long aircraft, 70+ feet from nose to tail, which would make sense for a number of reasons. Rob Hewson at Jane's has reported that Russia has supplied 32,000-pound thrust 117S engines for the J-20, which would be adequate for an aircraft in the 80,000 pound class - with perhaps lower supercruise performance and agility than an F-22, but with larger weapon bays and more fuel.But ask yourself:  why would China need or want a short-range stealth aircraft? Any targets with defenses that call for that capability are a long way from the mainland. Also, the bigger that the aircraft is, the more likely it is that it is a bomber as much as, if not more than, a fighter.The canard is clearly visible and at this point I'm seeing a "lambda" wing planform, seen on some earlier artist's concept out of China, with a single straight leading edge and a kinked trailing edge. It first appeared on McDonnell Douglas JAST studies in the early 1990s:<img src="http://sitelife.aviationweek.com/ver1.0/Content/images/store/7/13/c75108f0-507f-442b-8da6-aa77338dc41c.Large.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The wing shape was also flight tested on the X-36 unmanned demonstrator - and the overall "sit" of the Chinese aircraft makes an interesting comparison to this shot:<img src="http://sitelife.aviationweek.com/ver1.0/Content/images/store/7/8/07897b7b-a030-418e-a8d0-389db68e3917.Full.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />So much for this morning - but as the "what" starts to take shape, it gives us context to start thinking about "when" and "why".Update:  The 117S comes with 3D vectoring and the engines appear widely enough spaced for that to work. This might mean that the V-tails could be locked out in normal cruising flight. Also, a couple more photos<img src="http://sitelife.aviationweek.com/ver1.0/Content/images/store/3/10/a37cd5b7-79a2-476b-aa43-2c928a4d936e.Large.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://sitelife.aviationweek.com/ver1.0/Content/images/store/8/1/584d27d6-6e87-4823-91d1-744b2d740318.Full.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><a href="http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/blogs/defense/index.jsp?plckController=Blog&plckBlogPage=BlogViewPost&newspaperUserId=27ec4a53-dcc8-42d0-bd3a-01329aef79a7&plckPostId=Blog:27ec4a53-dcc8-42d0-bd3a-01329aef79a7Post:caf36660-d425-4fbc-a284-008017b2b444&plckScript=blogScript&plckElementId=blogDest">China's Stealth Striker</a></blockquote>
