A flight of the alleged prototype of the sixth generation fighter took place in China. During the flight, the prototype aircraft was accompanied by the Chinese J-20 fighter. It is worth noting that the sixth generation of aircraft should already be unmanned, according to some aviation experts. Previously, the alleged prototype was shown at an exhibition.
The aircraft does not have its own index yet, the J-XD or J-XD1 indexes were previously used. The prototype aircraft is created according to the "flying wing" scheme and does not have a tail unit. Presumably, the aircraft does not have hydraulics and all control is carried out by electrical equipment. The aircraft is equipped with flat nozzles of three engines.
Based on the size of the aircraft, it can be assumed that the takeoff weight of the aircraft is from 35 to 50 tons, the payload weight in the internal weapons compartments is about 10 tons, and the flight range is about 2,500 kilometers. The aircraft has a very low RCS, as a result of which it will be difficult to detect by radar.
