Chinese 6th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

That is not new technology but adaptation of current technology. The XB-70 have six engines all in the fuselage. Granted, it was designed as a bomber, but multiple engines in that configuration is nothing new.

XB-70 was experiment. It was never put into production. J-36 is a production plane.

J-50 for the air superiority role like P-51. J-36 for the fighter bomber role like P-47.
 
Please no discrimination against different years and eras.
Ancient times were gone, What do you innovate in 21st Century? Please give name Innovation in 21st century, please name it, and don't speak nonsense and crap lol
 
delta wing family is nice for stealth, especially cranked delta or lambda wing (nearly the same).Screenshot_20250518_145437_X.jpgScreenshot_20250518_145555_X.jpg

Irrelevant. The XB-70 actually flew. That mean the engineering worked. Production is just a side issue.

Yes, those are genuine inventions, but they are also a looooong time ago.

What am asking is that in these Chinese new fighters, what technologies are new, not just adapted.

  • Advanced Stealth Materials: China's potential use of metamaterials for radar absorption suggests advancements beyond existing coatings, potentially offering unique stealth solutions.
  • Deep AI Integration: The extensive integration of AI in Chinese fighter avionics and EW for sensor fusion and pilot assistance could represent novel architectures and algorithms.
  • Hypersonic Weapon Integration: Designing stealth fighters with internal bays specifically for hypersonic missiles presents unique integration challenges and a potentially novel approach.
  • Variable Cycle Engine Research: China's progress in VCE technology represents a potential major indigenous breakthrough in aircraft propulsion.
  • Specific Sensor Technologies: Advanced Chinese-developed EOTS and IRST systems may feature unique performance characteristics and AI integration.
  • System-Level Integration: China's unique integration of various technologies into a cohesive combat system, tailored to their doctrines, can represent significant engineering innovation.

Dont say those are not started by China, but China develop their own tech with their own Intelectual properties.

What about J-20's rotary side weapons bays? That's an innovation.

Aaaahhh...So China 'invented' these wing variations.
Hey buddy, you should be older than me, but I won't be childish enough to ask anyone who shares technical information online. 'Old child' is not a pleasant word. You are a retired professional, so restless, what are you afraid of

Lol doesn't F22 haven't any side weapon bays 3 decades earlier than your modified Mig-1.44 aka J20 Lol

It doesn't have that elaborate mechanism. F-22 has to launch at an angle. J-20 can launch straight forward.

It's not major innovation but a minor one, tell major structural innovation in the J20 like F16 (cropped dellta wings) to F-16XL (with a crank-arrow wings) or variant of F-16 which tested DSI and applied in F35

More the like the question should be directed to YOU: What are YOU afraid of?

This is a public forum where anyone can (reasonably) comment on any issue, ignorant or knowledgeable. So why are YOU so afraid of being challenged? We all know the answer: different opinions especially if backed by technical knowledge.

Am not here for me, pal. Am here for US. You do not like it? Exit the virtual door. Call me any name you want, but as long as I can back up my arguments with credible technical support, the silent readers out there will see who is the real fool -- YOU.

Nice copy/paste from whatever AI blurb. The components of everything you posed did not came from China.

Shaping to reduce RCS -- not from China. Neither from Russia nor Germany.

Absorbers -- not from China. Neither did metamaterials. Combine the two, hypothetically, is an excellent idea, but hardly 'invention'.

The bottom line is that if China moved something 1 mm, all you guys will toot the horn as 'innovation' anyway.
