Well, at least it is real. It does look large enough to be a tactical strike aircraft.

It does look rather large........................

“The PLA has clearly been reading Air Power Australia, because this looks not unlike a stealth F-111.”

The only thing the Chinese need to read are the classified US documents that they clearly have had no trouble getting their hands on.

[maddog55]

What the hell is a stealth F-111? This looks more like the a larger version of the F-22.

[SeeSac]

I don’t see the resemblance to the F-111 and I never thought the F-111 was a stealth plane??????

[taildragger]

Hmmm....

I was right not enough tail, so they added the underside strakes a-la the Lear 45 Series and the add on Strakes fot the Beech V-Tail Bonanza via an STC. They help at high alpha or so I read.

The Planform does not look like what was discussed here the other day a-la F101 Voodo., just tapered.

Notice the little but subtle Leading Edge Extension ( LEX ) from the wing to the Canard, it looks like a hard chine, again to create vortices's at high alpha.

From the rear end the lower strakes and pod it sits on is to busy, my guess not good for RCS.

Also notice the wing, a great deal of aero or geometric washout near the tip. I believe the Mirage's and the Concord did this with their Delta platforms, so this maybe more of a delta augmented by a canard and Ruddervators...

How much juice for this goose... What about the engines?
Are they copies of russian, french , british, or american?

[kAcknor]

That is not a F-111, the author's eye if a bit off... OTOH, it's not unusual at all for the plans of failed U.S. designs to get out... YouTube vid of Northrop's YF-23

[puppypusher]

That plane looks like the Northrop Built F-23,The competitor to the F-22.

I wonder if the Chinese stole the plans.

Forward fuse from F-22
Rear fuse from the Mig-25
Vertical Stabs from the F-117
Canards from the X-29
Landing gear from the F-15

can’t tell the wing shape

Jack of all trades, master of none

[Errant]

It's a copy of an old Russian design from a Clint Eastwood movie:

FIREFOX

But, we could probably get a hundred of them for the price of one F-22 if they'd sell em to us and loan us the money ...

[RayChuang88]

Stealthy it’s not—especially from the rear. Even Sukhoi-HAL PAK-FA will likely get F-22 style engine exhaust nozzles that will blend into the rear if the fuselage to reduce its radar cross section.

[Vinnie]

Big plane.
Bet it’s designed to carry a ‘carrier killer’ missile.

[newzjunkey]

With those exhausts and what appear to be pylons on the wings, I don’t know how “stealthy” that thing’s going to be compared to US birds. Big fighter though.

[cranked]

Engine outlets will make this one huge arse heat-seeking target....stealthy, huh? =.=
