Shenyang next gen combat aircraft (?J-XDS)
- Thread starter Blitzo
- Start date
Someone called it the boneless Raptor and I can't look at it any other way since
Looks like someone got a few pretty close shots of the J-XDS/50's bottom and rear. Posted by @数性体 on Weibo.
Though, I would like to caution of any possible AI-enhancements in these photos.

I think there is so much loss of detail in those photos due to AI enhancement that they don't actually add anything to our understanding of the aircraft in those perspectives even compared to say nearly a year ago.
Even though pictures from a year ago were of lower resolution, the fact that many of them didn't have this level of "AI enhancement" means the net discernable useful details is actually about the same lol
Agreed, though these new pictures should finally put a definitive end to the argument of whether the J-XDS has a groove down its middle, at least that’s something lol
Some changes have been noticed: the silver part of the joint between the tail nozzle and the fuselage disappeared, which should be the result of some measures to optimize the thermal infrared signal?(And the length of the convergent deflection plate of 2D TVC seems to longer.)
No. The bottom photo was simply taken directly perpendicular to the aircraft such that you cannot see the other engine nozzle petal on the other side.
