Allegedly some pictures showing a possible sixth-generation fighter captured via a video posted on AVIC's official website today. As it seems, there are more and more hints supporting the possibility of a diamond-shaped wing and tail-less fighter design.

Engine nozzles design are a let down on these CGI.
I mean it even looks like the planes have caret inlets instead of DSI. Given that 6th gen are expected to be stealth focused as well, it doesn't speak well of the accuracy of these CGIs. I wouldn't take too much from the specific configurations shown in the CGI.


Agreed on both accounts ... the engines are not realistic as are the intakes but overall I won't rate the or over-rate the details, I rate the important message alone is that it's from AVIC!
