Video footage of a J-20 taking off. Much is still unknown about this aircraft which is still in developmental stage. The first photograph was 'leaked' on the internet in Dec 2010, showing a prototype aircraft performing a runway test. The first flight was conducted on 11 Jan 2011.
The J-20 is assessed to have started low rate initial production stage in 2016. It is assessed to have stealth features such as recessed weapon bays (two lateral bays and one larger main weapon bay). It is also equipped with infra-red distributed aperture and electro-optical sensors flushed under the fuselage to allow for stealth mode targeting without using the radar.
