we know fuck all about this thing and yall are already making a post about it wtf
Video if it flying
looks like a flying Dorito to me honestly.
Is this your photo?
china Internet
what engine is that thing suppose to use? 20tons class?
It’s WS-10C/WS-15 for the current prototype phase.
WS-10C is 14.2-14.7 ton thrust range
WS-15 figures is around 16 tons of thrust.
We don’t know the final powerplant though.
WS-15 look to be on part with AL-51. My guess its that That jet its on the 22 to 25 tons maybe a little more. But even with 16tons class engine it will have really good TTW ratio.
Other guess it that the engine wont be really that powerful but will be more fuel efficiency.
The designer said that another reason for the three engine layout is for more power generation, which makes sense as it seems that the J-36 (or whatever it is actually called) has multiple arrays of sensors similar to what we see on the Su-57, for more aerial coverage.
The main purpose of the J-36 should be as a force multiplier (essentially a lurker with decently low all-aspect RCS, feed information such as targeting data to other fighters in the area with its powerful radars, while it flies high and fast with its own very-long range AAMs posing a threat to high-value targets such as AWACS/Refueling assets).
Yea that make sense. With all the bs people want to put on jets.

总结
Is there any proof of it being stealthy? So many people keep claiming it’s “6th Gen”.
Please provide examples of non stealth fighter jets using wing layout, except for HO229
XP-79 lol
It’s a strange plane, but in 1943, it can be said that HO229 was a contemporaneous plane
