China speeds up testing of J-36 tailless stealth fighter prototype unusually fast design change

China speeds up testing of J-36 tailless stealth fighter prototype unusually fast design change

Footage and video released online show that China continues to advance testing of the Chengdu Aircraft Corporation's new generation of stealth aircraft, the J-36. The latter made its first public appearance on December 26, 2024.

What is worth noting is not just the speed of the project, but the changes found in each prototype, the air intake, the exhaust system, and the up-down wheel assembly, reflecting that the development team was experimenting with multiple approaches to the final design, not just reusing the original plane.

The J-36 has a tailless shape, uses a mix of wings, fuselage and three engines, a structure that has not been used on active combat aircraft before. Its unusually large size also leads analysts to argue that it is an air fighter, a long-range attack aircraft, or perhaps a "regional bomber" with air combat capabilities.

If China maintains the speed of development, some analysts estimate that the J-36 may be approaching the stage of production around 2030, however, China has not yet officially announced its name, role, performance, or scheduled for entry into service.

The "4th prototype" has not been independently confirmed by the Chinese authorities or major sources. The more unequivocal evidence confirms that an improved version of the prototype began flying in October 2025, with further prototypes reported late in the same year. It should therefore be called "an aircraft believed to be a new prototype."

Is the prototype change so fast that China is accelerating to close the gap with the United States, or is it preparing to build a new type of fighter that the world does not yet have a name for?

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ติดตามข่าวสารการพัฒนาเครื่องบินรบล่องหนของจีน พบว่า J-36 นั้นมีจุดเด่นไม่เหมือนใคร ด้วยรูปทรงไร้หางและใช้เครื่องยนต์ถึง 3 เครื่อง ซึ่งถือว่าโดดเด่นและแตกต่างอย่างมากจากเครื่องบินรบรุ่นก่อนหน้าในตลาดโลก ความเปลี่ยนแปลงดีไซน์ที่รวดเร็วในแต่ละต้นแบบของ J-36 แสดงให้เห็นถึงการทดลองและปรับปรุงอย่างต่อเนื่อง ทั้งช่องรับอากาศที่ได้รับการออกแบบใหม่ ระบบไอเสีย และชุดล้อขึ้นลงที่แตกต่างกันไป ซึ่งเป็นสัญญาณชัดว่าทีมพัฒนาต้องการหาโครงสร้างที่เหมาะสมที่สุดสำหรับบทบาทที่ J-36 จะดำเนินการในอนาคต นักวิเคราะห์หลายคนยังถกเถียงกันเกี่ยวกับบทบาทของ J-36 ว่าอาจเป็นได้ทั้งเครื่องบินขับไล่ครองอากาศ เครื่องบินโจมตีระยะไกล หรือแม้แต่เครื่องบินทิ้งระเบิดระดับภูมิภาค ด้วยขนาดที่ใหญ่และโครงสร้างที่ไม่เหมือนใคร ถือเป็นการเปิดทางให้กับยุทธศาสตร์การใช้งานที่หลากหลายและยืดหยุ่น จากข้อมูลต้นแบบลำใหม่ที่เริ่มบินในเดือนตุลาคม 2025 และมีต้นแบบเพิ่มเติมในปลายปีเดียวกัน สะท้อนการเร่งพัฒนาอย่างต่อเนื่อง ซึ่งหากรักษาความเร็วไว้ได้ อาจทำให้ J-36 เข้าใกล้ขั้นตอนการผลิตได้ภายในปี 2030 แม้ว่าจะยังไม่มีการประกาศอย่างเป็นทางการแต่ก็เป็นสัญญาณว่าจีนกำลังเร่งปิดช่องว่างกับสหรัฐฯในแง่เทคโนโลยีการบินทหาร สำหรับผู้ที่สนใจด้านเทคโนโลยีอากาศยานและความก้าวหน้าทางทหารของจีน J-36 ถือเป็นหนึ่งในโครงการที่ควรจับตา โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่งเมื่อเห็นความเคลื่อนไหวที่รวดเร็วและการเปลี่ยนแปลงดีไซน์ที่สะท้อนถึงนวัตกรรมในการออกแบบเครื่องบินรบล่องหนยุคใหม่
