Chinese 6th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

What are the main actual characteristics for 6th Fighter Jet..

so it can be labeled true 6th generation not 5th ++ gen or 5.5 gen ..

Full spectrum LO / stealth, AI assistance, Direct Energy Weapon, control loyal wingman; the rest should be better than existing 5th gen.

These no, pure identifications other then tail less character ...

AI is hidden stuff .. cant be identified.. what level is achieved actually..

It is.

Tailless come with huge impact on stealth. Also next generation RAM such as metamaterial, and refined shaping by integrating airframe and engine design.

Hidden/not hidden is irrelevant. Fighter is not aimed to have features identifiable by enemy.

Well, according to several different sources in China, including talks from chief designers, and research papers about China's 6th generation fighters and patents filed by designers of J-36/50 etc, I think for China that should be:

Full-Spectrum and all-around stealth and tailless a must to ensure that

No observable (at least from the front part), thats is below -50dB, comparing to 5th generations's -30dB to -40dB front RCS

Super-sensor: combines AESA radar, new mechanism radar and other sensors for 360° coverage, and fully integrated into a network of sensors.

Supports autonomous air combat decision-making via AI systems for target recognition and tactical planning. Capable of independent operations in complex electromagnetic environments. Pilot roles shift from direct control to battlefield management.

Can functions as an aerial command node to coordinate multiple unmanned loyal wingmen, extending combat radius and mission flexibility.

Very long combat radius and very long supercruise range for penerating air-domination missions.

Thats why the chief designer of J-36, mentioned in one of his research paper: one primary goal of his design is to supply sufficient electric power to power all the subsystems installed in the fighter.

its really interesting to see Americans making excuses by saying this is not a true 6th gen ..... China has really gotten under their skin. They have never felt a heat like this for a century atleast! Hopefully China makes the gap even bigger!
