Zhuhai Airshow 2024

The weather in Zhuhai today is very good. Su57 performed more stunt actions, while J35A is different from yesterday and has been replaced with another prototype

It’s actually the same aircraft they presented last week as the second one… the one with the slight green parts on the front fuselage
 
A better comparison …

Those pictures suggest to me one of two following possibilities, a) the stealth coating is different fromJ20's, and either more, equal or less advanced than J20s coating. b) OR that the J-35A has "as yet" not been coated with a stealth coating ? ie early prototype paint ?

The peeling of the paint on post #1,261suggests to me it is a temporary/non-final paint ie :

World's first 6-ton tiltrotor aircraft unveiled at China Airshow​

The world's first 6-ton-class tiltrotor aircraft, the Lan Ying R6000, made its debut at the 15th Airshow China on November 13. With a payload capacity of 2 tonnes, this aircraft can take off and land vertically in helicopter mode without the need of a runway, pushing the boundaries of long-distance point-to-point unmanned logistics transportation.

At cruising altitude, its rotors tilt into a fixed-wing mode, reaching a maximum speed of 550 km/h, breaking the limit of traditional helicopters. It can connect locations up to 4,000 km apart without transfers and is designed for both passenger and cargo. This breakthrough marks yet another milestone in the advancement of China's aviation technology.

 
Western experts: China's announcement of the "White Emperor" fighter jet model is a "conspiracy" - according to the US National Interest website, many Western aerospace experts say that although China claims to integrate next-generation technologies such as artificial intelligence, stealth drones, and advanced sensors on the "White Emperor" fighter jet, it seems that it is about to be launched.
But this is exactly what China wants the West to think about, by exaggerating its progress and pushing the United States to make large-scale, unsustainable investments in expensive projects such as NGAD, ultimately leaving its finances stretched thin.

But as far as I know, there are several teams in China researching various ramjet engines, some of which can supplement solid fuels, and some engine combinations different cycle modes. The transition from low-speed to high Mach aerodynamic shape is also being studied. There have been prototypes reported, but they are not yet practical enough.

The White Emperor is telling the outside that China has such plan.
The presentation of this model is an enigma for me.
