The reason it is interesting is the relatively low power demand vs. high output plus compact packaging. Small enough to have been tested on a wheeled ground vehicle.
It is no coincidence that Tempest is being designed to make sure it has the capacity for mounting something similar.
Jet fighters with laser cannons. Yay. We will have to wait and see.
There are rumors that this image is the latest single engine stealth fighter test flight image of PLAAF. I am looking for other information about this image and cannot rule out the possibility of false images.
I mean… If this is true, this might be my new favorite VLO jet.
It looks like something out of ace combat lol, it looks like it has foldable forward canards.
But I wonder where it would fit in with the PLAAF if adopted… Considering we already have J-35, J-20, and the upcoming aircraft.
