Please create an NGAD thread and prove it.

Nah, he is not going anywhere, he kept saying they don't care but he has being stuck here for the past hourS.

These are very neat designs, no doubt, but I wonder the effectiveness of the engines. We all know China was working on 6th generation engines but I wonder if the Chinese are anywhere near a fieldable 6th generation propulsion systems.

ofc that is the story for 2030s.
maturing the whole package and building up a new echo system will takes us at least decade.

Something like that:

New supersonic ramjet detonation engine takes to the sky

Chinese "Space Transportation" company, Lingkong Tianxing Technology, has successfully tested its new JinDou400, also known as JinDouyun, ramjet detonation engine nearly twice the altitude of commercial passenger planes and more than doubling the Concorde's fastest speeds during its test.

If this is true, then it's absolutely insane.

It means that China, atleast outwardly in public, is outpacing the US in terms of next gen development.

We all already knew that once 6th gen is under development, everyone would be on their own, and no amount of "espionage" would help develop things along, as there's nothing worth stealing.

In that case, China could be on pace to not just match, but exceed the US in terms of developing and adopting next gen fighter technology.

Would I be right in that assessment?

To be clear, that doesn't necessarily mean that Chinese tech is automatically better than the US, but rather they're the first fly and potentially the first to induct the gen type, so they get to define the class's basic characteristics.

The Chinese should thank Trump; during his first administration, he opened the Chinese eyes to their Western reliance and a false assumption that the trade war would never happen. Beyond this 6th generation reveal, I'm now more curious about what other projects that started in the last 8-10 years will be unwrapped.

The Chinese have poured over $ 300 billion-plus into the tech sector and other areas.

Calm down buddy! You seem to be in real shock.

On this occasion, I will agree with you.

both SAC and CAC's birds use TVC since they remove most control surfaces like vertical and horizontal stablizers or canards

On a side note, j-20 with Ws-15 engines.

In just 26 years, China has gone from 3rd generation to 6th generation fighters:
1998: J-6 accompanying J-10 prototype.

2011: J-10 accompanying J-20 prototype.

2024: J-20 accompanying j-36

“PLA clearly envisions high speed, long range & ultra high power is needed for possible future warfare.”

Very true.

I love seeing all the cope and tears on X and other social media platforms what a beautiful day to be a PLA watcher fan.
