Chinese 6th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

Who can define the next generation fighter jet? I heard that the B21 will also bring missiles to participate in air combat. The next generation of fighter jets will focus on near space and hypersonic capabilities. Some people's minds are like stones, speechless.
 
It is a model just for show, allegedly based on a noval or whatever science fiction story. This is what I wrote for Key-Publishing:

"In addition to the events that have perhaps been summarized far too briefly above, there was also a funny - or rather embarrassing - story: AVIC has set up a 1:1 model of a futuristic fighter of the "6th generation" a little away from the regular exhibition area. Anyone who knows a little about the Chinese scene will have immediately recognized that this is a what-if, a pure fantasy product based on a novel/novella, according to which this model, known as the “White Emperor B”.

Almost as expected, several Western agencies have eagerly pounced on it and sensationally reported that “China has taken the lead in the race to develop a sixth-generation fighter jet”, “China is revealing an advanced prototype demonstrating China’s vision for next-generation air superiority” and so on. This type would be capable of flying at high-Mach numbers in almost near-space altitudes, would combine cutting-edge weaponry, AI-supported sensors and a human-machine collaboration system in order to enhance pilot decision-making and optimize mission performance”!

In fact, it is just a what-if model."
I'm thinking. Do we need to create a separate thread and post the entire “Nantianmen Project” in its entirety in that thread. That way, some members won't continue to obsess about it over and over again ..............
 
It‘s indeed interesting to see, the chatter is getting more and more intense …

@Michael

So we are looking at first flight by 2030 and entry into service in the mid-2030s?
 
As it seems, we are not "looking at first flight by 2030" but at a maiden flight within days if not hours!


Wow!

Looks like China may be trying to get the plane into service before 2030 in this case and potentially beating US.

Not sure if the engine can be readied in time and the “adaptive cycle” engine is so different than engines like WS-15 but let us wait and see.
