I don’t think that image is a real image, regarding J-36.
I have to say, I personally think the Shenyang design is cooler…
It is photoshopped, yes.
It’s a good design, aesthetically though I would like to see them go for a divertless intake and blend the wing and weapons bay together. Looks too ‘geometric’ like the J-20 for me to like.
I think that it doesn’t use DSI intake because it will cruise at higher speed than Mach 2, DSI intakes have a lower mach ceiling.

Doesn’t the back intake have a DSI though?
True, but I don’t see why they need to use DSI intake for the third engine and have engine one and two have caret style.
It almost makes me wonder if the third engine is a different engine from the other two.
???
Is this real?

What’s the first one?? Doesn’t look like the Shenyang one.
Also, regarding wing morphing technology, I was vastly overestimating how complicated it is. It’s old news like you suggested, but I was assuming it would be difficult to make it work with the stealth coating. It may not be that much of leap actually
It’s not hard to imagine that when you ask 2 person to solve a math problem, they might give you same answer but with difference processing
Like for Gen 4 fighter program, CAC have J-9 which developed into J-10, SAC bring out J-13 which pretty like a F-16, Nanchang bring a program based on Q-6 which like a combination of MiG-23 and F-16
And cause AVIC is a state-owned company you wont need to care about something like share price
Well we do use 5 gen system(or 6 gen if you counted these thing), at least after 2022
A difference is the early jets, like Me 262, are usually not counted
BTW, what is Dragonfire?

Zhang Juen, a permanent council member of the Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics and an advisor to the Science and Technology Committee of China Aviation Industry Corporation, believes that to align with international standards, China can also recognize the concept of five generations of fighter jets. Based on the integration of the three classification methods mentioned above, with jet fighters as the main line, the first three generations can be divided based on speed and the latter two based on comprehensive performance. Zhang Juen suggests calling it the “New Five-Generation Classification Method.” The typical characteristics and representative models of each generation are as follows:
First-generation fighter jets: Including early jets and subsonic and high subsonic fighter jets from the 1930s to 1940s (Ma0.6~0.98), representative models include MiG-15, F-86, and China’s J-5.
Second-generation fighter jets: Low supersonic fighter jets (Ma1.3~1.5) that began to be deployed in the early 1950s, representative models include MiG-19, F-100, and China’s J-6.
Third-generation fighter jets: Fighter jets with speeds around Ma2.0 that began to be deployed in the late 1960s, representative models include MiG-21, F-4, F-104, and China’s J-7 and J-8.
Fourth-generation fighter jets: Fighter jets with high maneuverability and significant improvements in comprehensive performance that began to be deployed in the mid-1970s, representative models include MiG-29, Su-27, F-14, F-15, F-16, and China’s J-10 and J-11.
Fifth-generation fighter jets: A new generation of fighter jets that began to be deployed in the 21st century, representative models include F-22, F-35, Su-57, and China’s J-20.
Zhang Juen also believes that the classification of fighter jets helps to reflect the tactical and technical characteristics of aviation equipment, compare and draw on the development rules of equipment, and facilitate the public’s understanding and recognition of the development and progress of fighter jets. However, the classification of fighter jets is just a categorization and does not represent combat capability, nor is it a technical standard. The development of equipment should always be guided by needs and measured by combat effectiveness standards.

This is what I was referring to.
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.

Single engine J-35?
This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.
Could this be PFX?
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.
I think this is JF-17.6 or maybe PFX
(JF17.6)
