Hey guys, I think the yellow thing is actually a radar in the rear!

Just an airbrake. Frankly I don't even know if they are gonna have it on production models.

 

[AerospaceEngineer]

Exactly, no need for that stuff.

What about the yellow thing?

Is it a rear radar?

Mr AerospaceEngineer doesn't seem to know the basics of aircraft design.

That yellow thing is the parachute housing. I think it's been designed to open automatically when the wheels are down. (all pic of the aircraft in air and on ground with landing wheels have that housing open.)

who always criticize Chinese military are secret. If you get to chengdu , you'll very easy to see j20.however usa f22 could never open as same as j20

 

[nomi007]

both prototype use different engines
possibly 1 is using al-31 or al-41 which are Russian made
2nd prototype use home made engine possibly ws-10s or ws-15
some western media reports said that either Russia or Israel could also help china in 5th generation project
because china cannot make composite material at industrial level

Pixelation obscures opened side-weapon bay.

Look closely, you can see the interior of the engines. [A.Man's comment]
