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

[burritocannon]

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

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

It's just a CGI, so there's no reason to critique it in much detail.

Frankly I'm not sure why it was posted in this thread to begin with.

Front view

Can't confirm if it's real, but it looks quite similar to the CGI.

Okay, a GDI. But the sensors we would have to reason about their huge (I would say gigantic, it will be at least 4000 T/R - 500 x2 and 3000 minimum) EOTAS x4 (2x and top/bottom, not counting the back)... lots of stuff. This can make mini-AWACS in passive. ((Soon it becomes almost Sonar conformal to U)).

Here are some cool CG renderings of what the cockpit might look like. Though it should be clear that they aren't based on any real available information other than that it's a side-by-side cockpit.
