Chengdu next gen combat aircraft (?J-36) thread

If it is facing the other way then we can resolve the cockpit debate once and for all.

I thought we solved that, what's the debate now?

I thought we solved that ages, what's the debate now?

Do we have conclusive evidence of two side by side seats?

I thought that sequence from the first DSLR pictures of it landing you could see two HUDS but I now that I went back to look at them it's too blury, swear there was a clearer image.

You might’ve gotten confused by some of the better CG images.

Think it was this, I hope we're getting closer to clearer images soon.

1 year ago, if anybody had seen this photo, they would have believed it was the H-20.

why are there 3 distinct angles on its side? There should only be 2

Also idk why people keep thinking there'll be a beam running down the middle like the Su-34, it'll likely be just like a extra wide version of J-35/20's canopy with a single internal support bracing running across canopy. I have a feeling J-36's canopy probably will be fixed and the crew will enter via the main gear Su-34 style.

External support beam down the middle is detrimental to stealth. I agree that the support will be internal.

no. the edge changes angle when the wing root meets the fuselage. it only looks straight from top view.
