So, is the opposite a "well-endowed" spin?

 

See, China, THAT is the size you make landing gear doors!

I would say "spin recovery test". Maybe, that i'm wrong.

 

Its an impressive bird. Very interessting for me was the design of the wing roots with the movable parts, which seems to be able to act as canards.

It seems a combination of that with the F-15's "nodding" intakes.

  Yeah, they're apparently called levcons which are "active" as in moving LERX's.  Atleast thats what wiki says.

Very cool. I wonder if it's going to have any multi-role capability or if it will be a pure interceptor.
