Shenyang next gen combat aircraft thread

Why didn't they do full helmet mounted display for J-20, give up HUD but doing it for 6th gen? We're they behind F-35 when it comes to Helmet mounted display or augmented reality helmet?

Another thing also doesn't make sense, j-36 has 2 HUDS for the two pilots. Surely, J-36 is higher end than J-50 and should have higher end helmet?

They didn’t feel that it was safe enough to not have HUD as a fallback in case something went wrong.

I'm sure that this is the most REDICULOUS photographer I've ever seen. He's definitely going to be invited by MSS.

This two photos made my day.

I wonder if we can ever get a more up close look of the intake. What is that btw? I have never seen anything like that on a stealth aircraft IIRC.

Give where the testing program is now, I'd be shocked if it doesn't enter service before J-36.

Looks extremely stealthy btw.

Odd that the EOTS is just transparent

I just wouldn't worry about sensor installations at this point.

Oh hell not the intake, that's another man's 20+ years in a tea room
