(Luft) Chinas Stealth-Prototypen - Chengdu J-36 & Shenyang J-50

[Schneemann]

Ich stelle es mal hier ein, damit wir die chinesischen Stealth- bzw. 6. Gen.-Jets etwas mehr zusammenfassen können - neben der Chengdu J-36 ist ja auch die Shenyang J-50 einer der neuen Prototypen. (Habe das mal im Titel ergänzt.)

China’s ‘J-50’ Tailless Stealth Fighter Seen In New Imagery

Shenyang Aircraft Corporation’s tailless stealth fighter has appeared in new photos that offer additional insights into its exotic design. The aircraft, unofficially dubbed the ‘J-50,’ is one of two Chinese tailless heavy next-generation fighter designs that emerged on Dec. 26, 2024. The other larger three-engined type, colloquially referred to as the ‘J-36,’ is built by the Chengdu Aircraft Corporation. You can read our very in-depth previous analysis of both these aircraft here.

It isn’t clear if the new image comes from a recent test flight or is from the Dec. 26 sortie. While we have seen proof of the larger J-36 making additional test flights since its first publicly known one, the J-50 has not been spotted in the air for over three months.
