You might wanna check some other threads, I think this subject has been discussed at length.
I've got a paper shredder that would take the J-XX today.... TEG

The J-XX is truly the ultimate stealth machine. It can only be detected by an advanced, massively parallel computerized sensor system of global proportions, ie; the Internet...
The PRC spent over 20 years to develop the J-10, and that after the Israelis had already done half the work for them. Not to mention that their airforce recently rejected 16 of the Flanker copycat J-11Bs because of unacceptable build flaws.
Give'em another decade or two, mebbe...

It's not that no one's capable exec it's just that there seems to be too much advertising hype and little substance to back it up. I think That Engine Guy and butters summed things up very well (as it stands right now anyway) so I'll get off my soapbox now.

Not video, but different view and clarity.
What is the Chinese version of TASS?

Beyond all the political and military implications, I love things that fly

Not S-37, the tail fins are different.
To me its remeniscent of the abandoned wing/pelican tail concept they were having for the original YF-32 prototype.

Not really dude. The artist impressions were pretty clear, and cool. The photos did offer differing vantage points, but they weren't any clearer.
As things stand now (they could change - I'm not doubting China's ability to produce these kinds of jets) I'd recommend a NATO reporting name of "Fauxbat, Fauxback, Fauxfoot, Fauxstyle, or Fauxhand". From what I know of history, communist countries have fierce propaganda machines and aircraft with overstated capabilities. I am going to consider this aircraft "fiction" (another good reporting name, LOL!) until I get better information and more detailed pictures and video.
