Note:
(a) 蚌式进气道 Diverterless Supersonic Inlet
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diverterless_supersonic_inlet
(DSI; The first DSI [developed by Lockheed Martin] was flown on 11 December 1996, installed on a F-16 Block 30 fighter and replacing aircraft's original intake diverter)
(b) The (a) supplies an external link to:
Eric Hehs, JSF Diverterless Supersonic Inlet. Code One (magazine, published by Lockheed Martin), July 15, 2000.

, which is old, devoid of illustrations, and Greek to me. However, I simply can not find in the Web a simple tutotial about DSI or what it looks like. Military secrets?
(c) J-20 has DSI, too.
(2) There are few news reports at this moment. VOA Chinese has not reported on this. Thankfully SCMP allows nonsuscribers to read it THIS TIME.
