Do we have confirmation or credible rumor that it's a twin seater?
I think we can safely say we have a preponderance of credible rumours and sound logical deductions.
Well … may I ask, where these two QJ-types are coming from? Maybe I‘m getting old and my brain feels as if I cannot keep up with all the latest news even more so to comprehend what consequences this will have, so I may have missed these two … and where then does SAC‘s own J-XD2 fits into your scenarios?
By the way, another sketch also for SAC‘s type
I think it will be a while before we see what the UCAVs will look like.
Real bird looks way more slender, I don't know
Gj-2 is clearly anjian. Probably a notional graphic for a supersonic ucav.
I made them up. QJ-1 is roughly based on the J-20. QJ-2 is based on the tailless design seen in Chengdu before. The idea is that the PLAAF is going for high performance designs for its CCA.
I do not understand why you are replying to me since I was not referring to the drones in the graphic at all. Nor did I see in yankee article on what the UCAVs will look like.
UCAVs don’t need to be as large because there is not cockpit or pilot related space requirements. A2A defensive focused CCAs may be smaller since they don’t need to carry heavy AAMs. Cost is a major part of the consideration.
