The first photograph of the Chinese sixth-generation heavy fighter, known as the J-36, has appeared; the official designation has not yet been confirmed. The new image allows us to examine the key features of the promising machine.
The new image confirms assumptions about the cockpit layout - the J-36 is equipped with a two-seat cockpit with side-by-side pilot arrangement, like in the Russian fourth-generation fighter Su-34 or the American F-111.
This approach is justified - despite the development of artificial intelligence and automation, the high complexity of the tasks facing the aircraft requires the participation of two crew members.
Of particular interest are the side weapon bays, which are probably intended for housing small-sized guided aviation munitions and air-to-air missiles. The central bay is capable of accommodating larger strike weapons, including long-range missiles.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Uralvagonzavod announced an all-Russian vote for a new name for the BMPT Terminator.
