China surpasses rivals with ‘world-class’ sixth-generation stealth fighter: experts

On By Littum

Chinese experts believe the country’s first sixth-generation stealth fighter jet could have even greater stealth capabilities at hypersonic speeds, with one commentator suggesting PLA has “fully exceeded global advanced standards”.
During the flight – which took place in broad daylight – the jet was flanked by a fifth generation J-20 fighter jetaccording to footage allegedly filmed near Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, a Chinese fighter and drone manufacturer.

Observers noted that the mystery jet – which has a distinctive triangular, tailless design – flew with its landing gear down – a common practice in the early stages

Chinese authorities have yet to officially confirm or name the jet, but the Chengdu-based Defense Times appeared to have an oblique reference to the plane on its Weibo account.

The outlet posted a picture of a ginkgo leaf and the comment “it really looks like a leaf”, in what was widely interpreted as a semi-official acknowledgment of the fighter jet.
