SIWBs? Good to see.
Americans said the J-36 was too big to be a fighter jet. Now there's a smaller one. I am wondering what else they have to say.

Holy smokes. That cockpit canopy looks as if it is a literal part of the airframe fuselage itself. Kinda somewhat akin to LockMart's single-engine NGAD illustration back then.

We only know that it's progress is roughly parallel to the J-36 also, and is undergoing high speed high altitude flight tests.Does anyone know it it was another flight or were these just previously not posted images?
Remember guys, If it looks good, it flies good.
As a Chengdu fanboy, I admit that from this angle, the SHADE looks a lot more futuristic than the J-36.
