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

[BillRamengod]

Awesome slides, dude!

I imagine you've thought of this already, so my apologies if this is redundant, but please -- for the love of God -- watermark your slides before some social media "influencer" or garbage website like 1945 steals your work, or worse yet, mischaracterize your content as something official from the PLAAF!

Oops,What`s funny enough is that in other side (chinese social media) lot of people think this is american stratgy of how to use eight f-22 to trade with one j-36 (i don`t know why don`t they read the sentence in it)


context: in 2000s chinese netizen imagined how to use eight j-8 to trade with one f-22

No, don't. I want to see these exact slides in US DoD's CMPR 2025.

Part 5: People seem to like my theater level graphics a bit better so here is another one. Tbh I don't think the PLAAF need the J-36 to neutralize Kadena and the tiny islands between Okinawa and Taiwan but graphically these island airfields are dispersed enough for me to fit 4 different notional ground attack.

The main IWB is around 6m. For reference, SDB is 1.8m. 1000lb JDAM is 3m. GBU-28 5000lb bunker buster is 5.8m.

Previous infographics on the J-36:
Definition of 6th gen and possible J-36 missions
Concepts of PLAAF air superiority oriented combat drones
J-36 in OCA (will be updated to include drones)
J-36 in DCA (updated with drones)
J-36 tactics vs B-21
J-36 electronic warfare

Good work! Gets increasingly difficult to read it though the more complicated it becomes

Just a small suggestion, might want to visually organise/structure it in such a way that it guides the reader how to read it (what to read first, second, third etc, what is important information, what is supplementary information)

From the pictures we've seen, the hinges of the ailerons on the J-36 seems to be covered by a flexible skin, presumably for RCS reduction. Are there other examples of aircraft using this technique?

No I think it is the only example on a fighter aircraft.

No I think it is the only example on a fighter aircraft.

I noticed this as well, but wasn't sure we had clear enough images to make a definite determination. I think the B-21 uses a similar technology, but I could be wrong.

There was a cool video from a company in the US that pioneered the technology I watched like 10 or so years ago.

I think they mean it as a joke as in "look how the tables have turned."

Likely that j36 may inbed uhf/ vhf aesa antenna in the wing leading edge

This is a nice render! It helps me to understand the shape of the aircraft better.

EDIT: Also, this Tim guy is very talented. He has a ton of renders on his profile linked in the post I tweeted. Some amazing stuff!

Do you need to make them with your own 3D printer? Does he just sell the files or something?

For any interested Tim Samedov created a very nice model of the Chengdu (J-36) airframe. Link:
