New Chinese Stealth Jet: Design, Capabilities, and US Military Concerns
Recent imagery suggests China is flight-testing a new tailless stealth combat jet, potentially a crewed design or an advanced drone. The aircraft features a pointed nose, swept wings with triangular extensions, and a twin-engine configuration. This could be a competitor to the Shenyang J-XDS fighter, or possibly a collaborative combat air vehicle (CCA) or UCAV. Its development highlights the rapid progress in China’s military aerospace, with more details possibly emerging at an upcoming military parade. The image’s authenticity, however, is contested within the Chinese aerospace community.
