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

[Cloud_Nine_]

I must say I’m not a fan to the two-tone camo. Think it would look much better with a single tone paint job.

Probably a practical choice that helps to break profile on the visible light spectrum. Visual stealth seems to be central to sixth gen stealth

So it could turn invisible like the helicarrier?

What would be the weight classes of the missiles it carries... i think a 1 ton missile might be enough to classify it as some kind of bomber.

Respect your persistence buddy.

But pls tell me is F-15 a bomber or not.

Disappointed with SAC. They always fall behind CAC. You can tell that from FC-31/J-35 vs J-20.

Probably waiting to troll USN 6th gen.

Generally what would be the impact of many control surfaces, with the gaps in between seen at back if the wings Whats usually done to mitigate these? Thabks

if any of those bombs is 1 ton and meant for ground targets than at the very least its functioning as a light bomber (or fighter bomber)... dont care about its label... only its purpose

The problem with this is that it implies the J-36 is primarily designed for ground attack, which is not the case.

If you want to indicate its air-to-ground capabilities, it's better to say "multi-role".

Are you serious? The F-15E could be a bomber... BTW, was F-117 a fighter?

Tell me, has any pure bomber existed in history ever had the ability to shoot down other fighters?

i dont think its a h20... its something in between.

What was the time gap between the J-20's first sighting and its second? The turnaround between flights on J-36 seems a bit fast.
