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

[bsdnf]

It's still a cliché, but again, we have to understand that these youtube pilots are all 4 gen pilots, there is a aircraft generation gap

For an F-86 pilot, he can understand why the F-4 and F-104 larger than the F-86, but in his eyes, F-14 and F-15 are definitely not fighters.

“but, but, but, how this things work in a dogfight?”

The more tariffs, the more clear images/videos are released.

Pilots ejecting from aircrafts with a single vertical tail fin also has to clear the tail, which are often more than twice the height of J-36's dorsal intake. I fail to see why suddenly J-36's intake becomes a problem.

I already knew that hence why would they bother to point that out? I’m not the one arguing that pilots are going to be sucked into the inlet.

If you already knew that, why didn’t you say it - instead of using that babble about ejections only happening when engines are shut off or when aircraft are breaking apart in the air.

And then you even defended those dimwits because they happen to be ex-US fighter pilots (w/o even a 2nd thought that they run a stupid clickbaity propagandised YouTube channel for geared for consumption by people even stupider than themselves).

The simple response should have been - “physics, duh”.

Well maybe you didn't notice that I explained it ergo rhetorical...

CNN joins the J-36 reporting bandwagon after four months of silence.
