As others have already reported, the SAC J-XDS prototype has been spotted once again, and if I'm not mistaken, this one differs yet again from the aircraft seen before: In particular, the radome is clearly lighter in colour, suggesting that a radar has been installed.

this means nothing serial production will start after 2030, and USA want more complete and mature product than China to start premature production of un- mature/unfinished J-36/J-50 products, USAF chiefs say we already flying tech demonstrators for 6th gen jets since 2019, just like YF-22 which had first flight in 1985 and inducted as a F-22 in 2005 (its takes further 13 years to modify YF-22 by USAF (USAF selected YF-22 in 1992))

The US started 10 years after China did. Trump started F-47 this year. First flight won't be until 2040 at the earliest. By then China already has operational J-50, J-36.

lol and how do you know that F-47's first flight will be in 2040?? I already said TECH DEMONSTRATOR for US 6th gen jets were flying since 2019 by USAF chief and we believe him and don't ask for pictures of US 6th gen tech demonstrators there are many restricted areas (proving grounds) that's no one allows to enter even its adjoining aeras most infamous is NAVEDA proving ground or AERA 51

Demonstrator is not prototype. YF-22 demonstrator flew in 1990. F-22 prototype flew in 1997.

first google what is the difference between demonstrator and prototype than talk

J-50 / J-36 development started in 2014. F-47 development started in 2026. The US is 12 years behind because Biden cut military spending.
