    It doesn’t means that it is built in a single piece 😉

    Sorry, mabye I donT get Your point, (I’m not even sure if You refer to the J-20’s or the F-35’s canopy) but if it is a seamless single-piece part and that frame is only mounted internally … how could it then be not build in a single piece ???

    c. Quality. The one piece design didn’t match the transparency expectation AND/OR the pilot life sustainement system (ejection, OBOGS (oxidation)…).

    One correction … it is a single-piece design only with an added frame mounted intrnally. Maybe someone from Lockheed Martin can answer why they chose the same design for their F-35, which also has one canopy with an internal frame.

    Back to the J-20 … here’s a new video and it seems as if also the canards were cut in the corners similar to the tails.

    so the original photo was from 2012. when this aircraft was barely making factory trials. as I said you can put as many aircraft in such blurry image with small size objects. for all practical purpose J-20 is huge when I showed you its image relative to J-10.

    To admit I don’t know wha a date should have any influence to dimensions ??

    As such You pretend to prefer Your eyeball estimations “by the look at it in comparison relative to …” even if we have hard facts by an – admitted slightly blurred – image which shows all three aircrafts in question side by side with the being J-15 substantially larger (= longer and wider) than the J-20 ????

    But then plesae explain me how on earth could the J-20 be larger ??? mybe it grew during these two years of trials !

    PS: two new images added … first ‘2011’ again and second a J-20 in grey at Xi’an-Yanliang in January ’14.

    @ Ken,

    You are correct and like Blitzo already explained the main difference are the old-style fin-caps, the new radome/radar and the WS-10A engines. Otherwise we saw prototype ‘1603’ with the new standard SR-AAM PL-10, which has shorter fins and as such it might be a hint that it will no longer use the PL-8.

    What’s now the most interesting point or question for me: What unit will be the first to receive this new type ???

    Just found at the Secret-Projects Forum (via seruriermarshal)

    Lt. Col. Brent Reinhardt completes a 360-degree roll in F-35A AF-1 with a full weapon load during a test flight from Edwards AFB, California, on 10 January 2014. The photo is a composite of seventeen images taken during the 360-degree roll.
