J-36 6th Generation Fighter

“J-36” is the tentative designation widely applied to a large Chinese tailless combat-aircraft prototype first publicly observed flying in December 2024. Its unusual three-engine configuration and broad planform attracted attention as evidence of new Chinese aerospace development. The label and many claims about its role remain based on outside analysis rather than a complete official specification. The aircraft was observed near Chengdu, and later imagery suggested continuing prototype development. Its broad wing and absence of a conventional tail prompted comparisons with long-range strike designs. External photographs alone do not establish its sensors, weapons, intended service designation, or future production schedule.
