The J-20 features a canard-delta design (like Chengdu's J-10) with two raked, fully movable vertical stabilizers (like the T-50) and smaller raked ventral fins.
Its stealth shape is similar to that of the F-22. The flat fuselage sides are aligned with the raked rear wings, the wing-fuselage transition is clean, and the forward fuselage is enclosed by a sharp chine.
The bank angles are greater than those of the Lockheed Martin F-35, and the frameless canopy is similar to that of the F-22.
The main landing gear retracts into side bays, indicating the likely presence of F-22-style side weapons bays ahead.
The ground clearance is higher than that of the F-22, which would facilitate the loading of larger weapons, including air-to-ground munitions.
