The description literally said it is a old clip from December......and further elaborate it is from a different angle of another video. This is beyond obvious.
Tried my best did not find the source of it, But accidently found this:Does anyone have access to the paper where these illustrations are taken from? Not sure if this has to do with the new Chengdu bird, but I figure my request for help will get the most eyeballs here.
Did they comment on the serial number could mean? 36011 means there is at least one other prototype before this one, so it's either they completely tossed the old numbering scheme out of the window or the 36001(?) prototype was that aircraft parked on the tarmac back in 2021.
if it was possible to take it apart and reassemble elsewhere, i wonder if that is what they did after the maiden flight. cuz there has been no sightings of this aircraft since...it just disappeared...
I did some digging on this forum, it seems that the second flight of the J-20 2001 prototype happened on April 18th of 2011 or 97 days after the first flight. So we should expect second flight of J-36 to be approximately three months after December 26th sometime in early April according to J-20 timeline.
