Mystery aircraft 4th August 2025: CCA vs other

F-60 is the original FC-31, it was just called a different name originally. It was 17.3*11.5m in dimension which as a reference is bigger than the F-35A/B model but slightly smaller in terms of wingspan compared to C model but still ~2m longer. So, it's a pretty standard sized medium weight fighter aircraft. Anything larger would probably be in the range of heavy fighters like F-22/J-20/Su-57 and beyond.
I was referring to the scale model F-60, not the full scale FC-31 aircraft. Maybe that is what Guancha is saying, it's much bigger than the F-60 model, but in relative terms it would still be a fairly small aircraft, likely unmanned/RC controlled. Just like for instance the X-36 was quite small.
I don't think the F-60 model every flew, as far as I know, so comparing it to the F-60 model would be a bit odd.
I've just listened to the podcast, the trio seems convinced that this is related to the Northwestern Polytechnical University project/patent and said something about a flying F-60 model(?). Maybe someone more fluent can listen to the podcast and tell us what they are implying.
