I get it now. The panels that cover the notches on the doors are part of the bracket itself. That's just brilliant man. Thanks.

According to gongke and some other insiders, the design goal of J-20's empty weight is "heavier than F-22 and lighter than Su-27".

And only until the 6th protype J-20 achieved its design goal of being lighter than Su-27.

It seems that it is a mistake from the PLAAF intel that they get the wrong info about the empty weight of F-22, which is much heavier than their initial assements (partly due to poor stealth performance of F-22 which force LM using much thicker stealth coating to achieve its RCS goal).

From all the informations gathered from various reputatable military insiders in China, J-20's empty weight is less than Su-27 and much less than F-22.

Thats quite an achievement of the team of J-20, especially considering the fact J-20 is bigly yuge fighter and even more bigly than F-22 in size.

J 20 use more composite material and 3D printing technology, so its lighter than F 22. F22 is the product of early 1990s. with WS15 coming into play, J 20 will outgun F 22 for sure.

风驱急雨洒高城，
云压轻雷殷地声。
雨过不知龙去处，
一池草色万蛙鸣。
