China’s J-36, an advanced tailless stealth aircraft, continues to undergo flight testing, with recent imagery reportedly showing what may be a fifth prototype.
Analysts have estimated speeds of around 3,000 km/h (Mach 2.5), although no official performance figures have been released. New footage also appears to show the aircraft performing sharp turns and climb maneuvers, highlighting its evolving flight-control capabilities.
The J-36 remains a development program, but its rapid prototype evolution is attracting global attention.
