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

[lcloo]

The last photo was taken along a highway just outside Chengdu AVIC factory.

The letter Chengdu 成都 is on top of highway toll collection booths.

I don't see the point in this AI "upscale" of a picture that was already as detailed as it was going to get. Turned it into a mushy mess.

So the bottom part of the nozzle aren’t so much nozzle petals as they are flaps…

Disagree, imo this is a combination of yf23 style nozzle and 2D TVC.

From a fluid dynamics point of view, flaps are to induce changes of air flow field arround an aerofoil. The flow field arrond the bottom surfaces of nozzle is dictated by engine exhaust, not free airflow arround an aerofoil, so I don't expect it to have any aerodynamic effect similar to a flap.

Care to post this paper!

I’m sorry, the search functions doesn’t seem to be working. The author should be Tao Chenggang, deputy chief designer of the AVIC Chengdu Aircraft Design and Research Institute.

Here is a figure though..

J36 for high altitude high speed precision strike on enemy bases like Guam

can imagine V- formation of J36 for deep strike

JXX for Carriers

That model is pretty generic, likely taken from that NASA simulation back from the 1990s. Certainly doesn't illustrate J-36.

Giving the size it more like a bomber

I don't think the illustration is meant to be accurate. More of a representative function.

None of them is from AVIC.

The model is the ICE proposed by Lockheed Martin.




"The established flying-wing layout aircraft model is based on the ICE verification aircraft proposed by Lockheed Martin [19]. This aircraft adopts a single-engine vector configuration, featuring a flying-wing design with high sweep angles and a tailless layout. It is primarily designed for air-to-air and air-to-ground attack missions. This configuration offers excellent stealth and supersonic performance, as illustrated in Figure 1. Its key parameters are listed in Table 1"

The paper is mainly about the Landing Control.
