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

[taxiya]

When was the J-20 first transferred to Yanliang?

I think after the last known prototype 2017?

May 2012, prototype 2001, according to many articles in 2013

Holy moly...

If this photo is authentic - Then the side-by-side cockpit seating on the J-36 is basically confirmed.

Also take a look at the IWB doors!

Since recently too many faked Images of the J-36 were posted and this one looks almost too good to be true I would say, let‘s be sceptical again!

Apparently it's real. Both Ayi and Cute Orca have commented on it.

Ayi: "Even with that person dares to take that photograph, I wouldn't dare to post it"

Cute Orca quote-posting: "Same, let's see who's the brave one"

Holy moly indeed... the image at least looks AI tampered, so that is actually encouraging, maybe it is a real picture. What's that sticking behind the top intake?

Meanwhile, in the comment section:



Guy A: "Nobody dares to post the photo but it'll still reach the hands of the little yellow man (i.e. @Deino) in a few days"
Guy B: "Few days? More like a few hours!"

And Guy B is absolutely right lmfao

Camouflage against photography to hide geometric characteristics.

I suspect it might be due to the paint job and lighting effects, causing the AI to blend the dorsal air intake area with the wall. Ironically, this actually enhances the realism of the image
