China Unveils Two Tailless Stealth Aircraft Designs by Chengdu and Shenyang
Dec 27, 2024, 07:20 AM
China has unveiled two new stealth aircraft designs, both of which have undergone flight testing. The first, developed by Chengdu Aircraft Corporation, is a large, tailless aircraft with a diamond-shaped planform and three engines. The second, from Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, is smaller and also tailless, featuring a highly swept wing and two engines. Both aircraft were spotted in daylight, with the Chengdu design accompanied by a J-20, and the Shenyang model flying alongside a Su-27 clone. Defense experts have noted the advanced nature of these designs, though there is not enough detail for definitive conclusions on their capabilities or intended roles.
