Chinese 6th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

[FuturePAF]

I just checked and tons of videos and photos have appeared on almost all Chinese social media.
It seems that there is no way to hide the news officially.
Let's wait for the official response from the official body in the coming days.

And hopefully with an official designation.

Btw this design reminds me of the General Dynamics ATF design, minus the tail.

But that’s the debate that’s gonna ensue again, considering the delta design.

It will probably only be laid to rest when the US NGAD, with a similar layout, takes to the air and gets designated a fighter aircraft.

Btw, to borrow the B-2’s motto. This plane will also be able to say “If you see it, It wasn’t meant for you”

We are not rolling out two fighter bombers at the same time, and all insiders who leaked the news earlier were all saying 6th gen only, not even one mentioned anything JH-XX or fighter bomber.

It's a great day for PLAAF indeed.

Congratulations China on your achievements today. Fantastic news. Best way to start a lazy Boxing day here in the UK with this news.

I am sure we will find out more in days to come. I have basic questions like, is this a fighter, or fighter-bomber or just a bomber. Could derivatives of these also become loyal wing-mans.

Soo many questions !!

It is SOOOO EXCITING to see a new planes unveiling - but looks like we may be treated to two of them!!!

It's a pure airforce top priority project, they are not going to make a duel for a fighter bomber and I don't think we are going to induct any in the future, but the possibility is the future 6th gen jets due to it's large size, hence it can fly higher, longer range and carry more munitions and carry out more tasks.

Sixth generation aircraft will also involve manned/ unmanned teaming or loyal wingmen

I was wondering if there was a date significance to unveiling it today!

of course, the birthday of Chairman Mao

I believe it will be proven to be a fighter as well, similar to the GD ATF (fighter) design I posted a few posts back.

Apparently, the Shenyang design uses fully adjustable tail fins instead of no tail fins. In cruising mode, the tail fins are deployed flat, providing superior stealth performance and lift-drag characteristics. In maneuvering mode, the tail fins are erected, providing superior maneuverability and handling characteristics.

It was accompanied by a J20S, which has not made public by official yet, so this is a top treatment, but everyone is talking about CAC's model, I'd like to see more on SAC's plane.

Chinese military fans have begun to heavily “bombard” AVIC's official Weibo account. They are demanding that AVIC personally come out and clarify the “this leaf” news!
Let's see how long AVIC lasts ......

I opened up a bottle of beer and other snacks, what a way to end 2024, two different sixth gen prototypes.

 

[FHN]

Shenyang fighter Most likely is for the Chinese navy aircraft carrier fleet as well. Just a thought. J-35, 2 6th generation prototypes in a single year and countless other stuff revealed at zhuhai lol what a year for the PLA.The 50k t behemoth Type 076 will launch in the next few days.
