Chengdu next gen combat aircraft (?J-36) thread
- Thread starter Blitzo
- Start date
Deep Dive Defense made a nice vid of the J-36. Well worth the watch:
And yes, its quality is at (least at) the level required for this forum!
He claims:
- J-36 might use a turbojet in afterburner for highspeed cruising while the other two turbofans run without afterburner
- J-36 will use it high speed and high altitude to target enemies at standoff ranges using its 270 degree radar coverage for fire and manoeuvre (F-pole).

I don't claim I can identify the British media's headlines without looking at the name of the publication for no reason. Bombastic + subtle virtue signalling = British media
Lol is it time to draw the PAK DP with 4 WS-9?Forget it; Paralay is a nice guy, but totally obsessed by Russia's superiority and so he miscalculated almost everything! The most funny detail, according to him, it uses three RD-33!
Actually the interesting detail about that drawing I wanted to comment is that it made the same questionable assumption most people made before we had higher quality images of it top: the air intake in the drawing is much larger than in reality.
I'm becoming more sure now that it it's not an engine intake, the 2 below the aircraft should suffice to power the three engines.
Interesting. That claim means that due to the poorer low speed efficiency of turbojets, it is useless weight in the low, mid subsonic regime.
