Looks nice and smart angling of canard edges to reduce surface discontinuity return, but those engine and intake angles look a little too vertical for decent side RCS at high alt.
<=63 degrees cant angle means it has approximately the same beam stealth as the F-35, J-20 and J-31 … so meant to operate at medium alt or less stealthy than the F-22 if at high alt.
Very similar side RCS profile to the F-35, ignoring the lack of vertical tail. High beam RCS from 20 degrees below horizontal right the way around the lower hemisphere.
Will also require a RCS blocker.
3 layer leading edge slats?
