Is the source known to be reliable? As much as would want otherwise, the picture gives me vibes of being from the the CGI series posted yesterday. Of course it's far too unclear to make any clear judgement, but that's my gut feeling.

Brahmin claims are different from those of mere Dalits.
Neither brahmin nor dalit can achieve tech or economy supremacy... For China, both brahmin and dalit are dalits...

Like in Tibet, when the chips start falling, it doesn't matter if tibetan think they are lama or serf. The outsider imposes a new order where both lama and serf must coexist under new paradigms.

Wouldn't be surprised if it turned out like this.

An almost flat-lying pilot (back at least at 45 degrees angle and the lower legs at horizontal level) with AR/VR goggles to view the outside world through 4k (or higher res) cameras should be achievable by now.

Is it possible the pilot is in a prone position? Technically speaking you can resist G forces better.

Wondering how that would impact self sense of motion and space, may be wierd for the brain?

What if pilot sits in usual position but the glass part of the cockpit...is very small or doesnt exist? Would really reduce the RCS further. Meanwhile, cameras, sensors, screens, helmets can provide the necessary simulation and info.

Basically...no canopy, better stealth, less drag.

We could call it Cope Canopy..Copeanopy, for all the seething and tears it can potentially generate on social media vs the legacy transparent canopies.

ArmyRecognition also published a new article about the SHADE.

But...
The emergence of the J-50 must be understood within the broader evolution of China’s defense aerospace industry. Over the last twenty years, China has transformed from an importer and copier of foreign technologies into an increasingly self-reliant innovator. This evolution was marked by the introduction of the J-20 Mighty Dragon, China’s first operational fifth-generation stealth fighter, and the ongoing development of the FC-31 Gyrfalcon, a lighter stealth aircraft reportedly intended for carrier operations or export. The J-50 now appears to represent the next major leap forward, aligning with China's strategic ambition to achieve technological parity—or superiority—in key military domains.
What do they mean by ongoing development FC-31, haven't they read the news since last year?
Don't mean to roast them, but aren't they supposed to do their homework first? :rolleyes:

Army Recognition is well known for their inaccuracy and unreliability. In fact, we had some brief mentions of that in the H-20 thread about two weeks ago, where the so-called "fact sheet" on the B-2 confused "range" and "radius".
