J-36 is not super long, maybe 0.5 to 1 m longer than J-20. So when a tandem twin seat J20s is compared with it, it's obvious the canopy is much longer when in tandem configuration. Leading to the conclusion that the J-36 indeed does not likely have tandem seating. Which again leads to the strong possibility of side by side seating.

Even if one believes J-36 is 2-3 m longer than J20, the canopy length difference isn't that great, with the J20S one still being visibly longer.
The towering back has a unique beauty, with curves even more beautiful than CG

Someone wrote a post on the RCS of J-36-like planes

Now I know talks on RCS should be taken with a huge grain of salt, but I'm wondering if there's even any potential for a point here, as this person claims to know a lot about planes and radars.

Compared to legacy fifth-gen design, its sixth-gen design didn’t show any meaningful improvement.

J36-like has RCS at Skywave from 50-500m^2. Almost any OTH radar can easily detect it.
