Not sure if it’s a PS or not (hope/don’t think it is), but great angle anyhow.

新华网大连8月10日电（记者白瑞雪）根据改造工程进展情况，8月10日我航母平台进行出海航行试验。

　　按照试验计划，首次出海试验时间不会太长，返回后将继续在船厂进行改装和测试工作。

Announced by Central television as well

reminds me of the 08 pre-Olympic Tibet riot
Or ‘unrest’ according to BBC
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-10723140

BBC never cared and never wanted to talk about how many shops and houses were burnt, how many innocent civilians stabbed or burnt alive in their houses and cars. They just call it unrest and then went on and on about government’s violence reaction and human rights stuff.

Now look at what happened in UK… how familiar it is:(
make me think a bit…
In this kind of situation fast armed police response + media / online network control might not be a bad thing after all.

Hopefully medias will learn a thing or two, and choose their words more carefully when this sort of things happen again.
it is funny to see how they call this one an ‘unrest’ in their early reports and urge the police to be peaceful and respect human rights blablablah until their own van was attacked…

Well I have to say it might be slightly cheaper than cleaning the burnt ones…

When the pak-fa flew for the first time, the J-20 was probably being built at that time, meaning the prototype design work must have all be finished so there is no way that the J-20 could have been designed with the Pak-fa in mind however with the F-22 they would have almost certainly had wind tunnel models and computer models (would be abit dumb if they did not).

With regards to the configuration set up it its like saying the ‘J-20 has significant American influence’ due to similar body/intake layout.

I do agree with the last point that Chinese have made great advances and do not want to downplay it but at the same time some of the claims sound exaggerated.

Moveable DSI would mean that the DSI bump is made of a rubbery kind of material in order to change shape, could change shape by increasing and decreasing pressure, kind if like a balloon. I remember seeing an F-35 picture were the rear part of the elevator had some kind of flexible joint, presumably it is treated with RAM so I suppose it is possible.

I think the so called Movable DSI (if it exists) has a adjustable lip or internal adjustment panel rather than the rubbery bump…

given the usual professional quality of the photoshops I won’t be surprised if these are done by the ‘3rd People’s Photoshop Regiment of the PLA 1st Group Army’.

All random fans online:D

very true,

an airframe that’s designed under an assumption of xx hourse with a certain distribution of gs during service life. with anther level of gs during life that may not hold true.

even the frequency of g’s matter.
