3 engines. 1 engine for electricity generation.
Mach 16? Then it's unmanned assumed.

This reminds me of that one design paper that had a figure of a foldable tail. Perhaps the picture we dismissed earlier was this but with its stabs folded up?

It begs the question now if this thing even is fast at all.

Was thinking it will be something that looks more like all aspect stealth Mig-31. This looks like a low supercruise capable and weirdly manueverable B-21. With the F107's engine placement.

Does great sensor fusion and MUMT alone qualify it as 6th gen? No high supersonic flight or unreachable flight ceilings needed?

The fact it has a lot of seemingly maneuverability stuff build in like 2D TVC, I can't really make sense of it, I'd have earlier thought that the consensus is that subsonic maneuverability is nearly pointless.

Eh, it’s a relatively low aspect cranked arrow. Will probably be a better supercruiser than the J-20. The flight control devices are probably designed to interact with over body vortices.

Haven't been this excited since the the first J-20 flight, what a a day for the Chinese military enthusiast around the world.

American internet is in full copium mode, complaining that this time the PRC has stolen US sixth-gen secrets before they were even developed!
