PLA next/6th generation fighter thread

[Fatty]

OedoSoldier has a Weibo account. I saw someone with IP in Liaoning says he has video and will pm to oedosoldier. So I think this also give some credits to the video.

Probably don’t want to give credit then since it will certainly invite tea time

So it looks like the folding vertical stabilizers at a 45 degree angle? It also could have none, still kinda unclear whether it does have it or not.

Also, anyone have an idea what those protrusions at the end of each wing are for?

Transformers, robots in the sky!

Does anyone else feel those two optical windows on the sides of cockpit look huge? They look much bigger than the chin eots on J-20. Maybe opto-electronic system outperform radar in detecting VLO targets

If I remember correctly, the Kunming Institute of Physics successfully produced the substrate material for 8K infrared detector chips in 2022 and set their goal to like 10K. Although it is still a long way from the final product, the performance of EOTS does not only depend on the substrate material, but it is obviously preparing for a super large EOTS system.

EDIT：They have already produced HgCd single crystals in 2021, which can support Φ120mm film with 10K resolution infrared focal planes, and increased the size to Φ150mm in 2022. That paper also mentioned that the North China Institute of Optoelectronics Technology began developing 8k resolution HgCd medium-wave and short-wave infrared focal plane detectors in 2020.

Once upon a time in China.

Americans are probably going to be traumatised today. First there was 9/11, now there is also 26/12

Now with both J-XDs...

Can I just say, I'm actually shook

It looks magnificent, something straight out of a sci fi flick. It is unabashedly impressive

And it came out like 2-3 years before I thought it would

The only thing missing now is the H-20.

Can we go for a triple kill?..

Most likely 2 turbofans + 1 scramjet or TBCCE. So VERY supersonically optimised.
