The first video of a brand new Chinese stealth fighter jet, believed to be a 6th-generation aircraft, has emerged on social media. Key details include:
- The aircraft was spotted flying over Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, on December 26, 2024.
- It features a large, tail-less design, suggesting advanced stealth capabilities.
- The jet was accompanied by a J-20 stealth fighter, likely serving as a "chase plane" during the test flight.
- Observers noted a unique three-engine configuration:
- Two engines located at the bottom of the fuselage
- One engine placed on top, with an intake above it in the center
- The aircraft was seen flying with its landing gear open, typical for early testing stages.
- It appears to be significantly larger than the J-20, which is already considered a large fighter jet.
- The test flight was reportedly conducted by Chengdu Aerospace Corporation (CAC).
