Chinese 6th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

[Yommie]

It seems that both J-36 and J-50 are on a fast track of flight test, comparing to the pace of J-20.

So can we expect a shorter timeline for development? maybe the early batch of J-36/J-50 can supply to the military units before 2030?

J-20 development took less time than J-10. If the same trend follows, J-36 development will take less time than J-20.

have you taken complicity of the program into the consideration?

Complexity is only relevant when you take the era into consideration. A galleon is an incredibly complex piece of technology in the 15th century. Not so much now. Is J-36 an incredibly complex piece of technology in the 2010s? Of course. How about in the era of AI in the present day? Maybe not so much.

As it seems the so far clearest image of the J-36’s rear section to date?

A few interesting new images showing the J-36 via a video on bilibili:

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1GNZGY3EWF/

Additional insights via BillRamengod/SDF:

„The first half of video is a super low-altitute J-36 incoming clip.“

Continued: „The latter half of the video is stitched together from two separate images. I'm NOT very certain about the authenticity of these images. But IF these images are genuine, this would be our first confirmed sighting of the leading-edge flaps.“

J-20 development took less time than J-10. If the same trend follows, J-36 development will take less time than J-20.

Does it relate to so called beyond Mach 2 DSI on J20? Lol

I think J-50's rear engine structure is the same as this one.

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Impressive that China has left both Russia and USA in dust , with design of world's first 6th Generation Stealth Craft

Until 2009 people used to make fun of J-7 that China can only produce copies of old Russian planes , but in mere 10 years they have upgraded their ability's to produce vast Technological projects

The rate of Technology and Progress is quite amazing
