China's sixth-generation fighter aircraft

[datafreak]

Known since October 2021 on satellite images, this is suggested to be a (full) ? scale mockup or even a 6. generation technology demonstrator built by 611 Institute/CAC featuring a tailless diamond wing configuration. And today this ... Just a CG or indeed the rumoured testbed?

maybe a technology demonstrator to check tailless aerodynamics (like the X planes in the US system?)

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.

What unique features qualify a 6th generation fighter?

5th gen introduced stealth, what defines a 6th gen?

Well ... in fact I rate most of these classifications in the social media more a PR stunt and marketing plot, but overall are even better performances in battlefield survivability, air superiority , ability to operate other assets like UCAVs and eventually operations in an autonomous or semi-autonomous way.
