Hey, mod, have you been following the recent discussion about J-20 debut? The word on the street now is that J-20 is using domestic engine with vector thrust (despite only slightly). One video clearly shows the engine nozzle was bent down and then bent up right before the jet went vertical.

I highly doubt that thrust-vectoring nozzles are used since we've never observed the mechanisms for thrust vectoring. Most likely it's just a trick of the light caused by heated exhaust.
