The event immediately caused anxiety in Western defensive circles, especially against the background of uncertainty that accompanies the US program NGAD.

< p > on & nbsp; thought & nbsp; test analysts, j-xds occurred no accident & mdash; They coincided with the exacerbation of the situation in the South Chinese Sea and around Taiwan. The flight of the latest Chinese machine can be perceived as a demonstration of force & mdash; Especially on the background that the United States has not yet introduced any current prototype under the NGAD program, the cost of which, according to the budget management of Congress, exceeded $ 300 million per unit.

< h2 >What is known about j-xds

< p > j-xds & mdash; Shenyang Aircraft Corporation Corporation Project, which previously developed J-11, J-15 and J-16. The new aircraft, according to analysts, is a sixth -generation fighter with a slope in inconspicuous and high control.

< P > Images previously published in Chinese social networks indicate a number of structural features:

< Ul > < li > Tained scheme & mdash; Reduces radar visibility;

< li > moving wing endings & mdash; increase maneuverability;

< li > wing type “lambda” & mdash; Provides aerodynamic efficiency.

< P > Probably equipped with two engines with possible vector traction control. This can provide a significant advantage in air combat. J-XDS differs smaller in size compared to J-36 from Chengdu Aircraft Corporation and, as expected, optimized under the task of gaining preference in air rather than for shock missions.

~ ~ < p > experts also suggest that J-XDS can become part of a complex system that combines a manned plated aircraft, switches of drones and possibly hypersonic weapons & mdash; Similarly to the American Concept of “Systems Family” within NGAD.
