Lo que sabemos sobre el avión de combate furtivo de sexta generación de China

January 14, 2025 - China ha realizado vuelos de prueba de dos nuevos prototipos de su avión de combate de sexta generación, llamados tentativamente J-36 y J-50, en una medida que podría desafiar potencialmente el dominio aéreo de EUA en Asia.

Both aircraft, tentatively dubbed the J-36 and J-50, share tailless airframes. This configuration maximises stealth by reducing the radar cross-section, but at some cost to manoeuvrability. Both also appear designed for supersonic flight.

Of the two, the J-50 is the more conventional in terms of size and its twin engine, swept-wing configuration. The J-36, by contrast, features a modified delta wing design and a third jet engine on its spine in addition to two underslung engines. No operational combat aircraft past or present has three forward-thrust jet engines, Popular Mechanics said.
