Meet the 3rd Chinese Next Gen Aircraft

A tailless supersonic stealth VTOL fighter concept that integrates radical aerodynamic design, hybrid propulsion, and networked warfare capabilities. In this in‑depth video, we analyze the aircraft’s low‑observability features, including a reduced radar cross‑section through a seamless delta‑wing fuselage integration and tailless layout. We explore the V/STOL system’s dual‑engine approach, combining a downward‑facing lift fan or vectored‑thrust nozzle for vertical operations with an upper fuselage inlet powering high‑speed forward thrust. Learn how this concept builds on lessons from the J‑36 and J‑50 prototypes, both critical stepping stones in China’s journey toward sixth‑generation fighter technology.

We break down the strategic advantages of deploying a stealth VTOL platform from improvised airfields, urban zones, or naval vessels, offering unprecedented tactical flexibility in contested environments. Through expert analysis, we highlight the implications for power projection in the South China Sea and around Taiwan, and the integration of sensor fusion, electronic warfare, and networked combat systems. Whether you’re a defense enthusiast, aerospace professional, or military strategist, this video provides a comprehensive overview of next‑generation air combat innovation.
