If news such as JFT BlkII with redesign frontal nose cone is floating around then it could be possible for J-10B so far no clear images of that block. Parameters changes. The recent coming up upgrades of Rafale and Typhoon and Gripen NG upgrades could possibly have delayed the development and upgrades of J-10B which seems logical not to remain behind these technological superior strike fighters.

it would be wise to lower fc20 's rcs and perhaps we would see the rumoured tech of diamond shaped frontal fuselage being moved over to fc20 aswell -- this might take some time and as a stop gap measure china might be giving 50jft blk2 rather quickly..

But how much further lower can you take it? essentially a certain reduction can be achieved without changing the design characteristics e.g. DSI, RAM etc but for further reduction a redesign is necessary, like canted tails, shape change. Considering the current design would be optimized for performance, a redsign would mean modifying current equation and then re resolving it for optimum solution, a considerable labour and time consuming phenomenon in itself.

If that is would have been the case, then JFT approach would have been adopted i.e. implementing ongoing developments on continuous basis. It does not make sense to withhold a design just because of a consitant varible of technology. Rafale, Typhoon and NG all have taken the same path of induction of technologies on ongoing basis then why not FC-20

But J-10A production line are closed by CAC. And there isn't any news or leak about J-10b either. So we are in a lot of confusion right now about J-10b project. Hopefully things would clarify soon.

There are acturally three stages to get IOC for the PLA's fighter.Take the J-10B as an example,in the first stage it's prototype had being designed and built in the CAC which you can take photoes since the CAC localises in the central Chengdu and there's no such seriouse military background and security guard,that's why you see the recent J-20 and UAV's picture.Everybody can take shoots in Chengdu.
In the second stage,the J-10B was sent to the AVIC test cental in Yanlian for weapon integration,testing and all kinds of flight test.It has strong militry background and heavy security,only insiders can leak something there.After the testing,the CAC will start to produce a small batch of J-10B for the PLAAF test cental in Changzhou which it's in the stage three.
In Changzhou,the PLAAF will make all kinds of combat test and write the user manu for the J-10B,then induct it to the PLAAF.At this point the CAC can massivelly produce it.As far as I know,the J-10B just finished the stage two and returned back from Yanlian,the next step is to send it to the PLAAF testing cental for real combat test.

Thanks for the post dear. Now that clarifies the situation a lot.

Is it me, or the J-10 looked alot larger than the J-20 as it passed by, 0:10 secs. Note, the J-20 is closer to the camera as the J-10 momentarily disappears behind the J-20 as it passes by to get to the main taxi-way!
