      Doesn’t seem to be a flattering angle. front view doesn’t seem as bad (but still wide).
      Compared to the F35 from a bad angle.

      But the twin-engine design on both sides of the pilot (unlike a J20) will probably just make for a wider body as well.

        What do you mean twin engine on both sides of the pilot? I can’t see why the engines couldn’t be closer together unless they are putting their payload bay back there.
