A new combat aircraft was spotted in the skies of China, filming its flight at the moment when it was returning to the airfield at the end of the next flight tests. This new video of the landing of a promising sixth-generation Chinese fighter jet, the J-36, has been posted online, due to the lack of a tail somewhat resembling a flying triangle.
And although this is not the first footage of a descending combat aircraft, the latest footage, where it flies at low altitude over a highway with moving cars, allows you to get an approximate idea of its size.
This is what makes it different from the previous videos.
Little is known about the characteristics of the new Chinese combat vehicle. In particular, there is evidence that the aircraft is low-visibility and has an increased range. One of its main non–standard design features is the presence of three engines. With this innovation, the creators of the aircraft have achieved increased thrust and maneuverability.

It is noteworthy that at the same time as the J-36, another version of the sixth-generation fighter is being developed in China. Footage of him is posted on the Internet much less often. Before the recent shooting, he appeared "in public" only once – at the end of last year. Therefore, experts did not agree on how many flight tests of this machine were conducted – one or two.
We are talking about the smaller J-50. It looks a bit more "traditional" and is equipped with two engines rather than three. This aircraft also has a "tailless" design.
