Shocker At Zhuhai Air Show

---

 



Folks more China news. This is a must see video here. The foremost airshow in the world is now the Zhuhai Airshow in southern China. Zhuhai 2024 ended just two days ago. 
The West does not participate in this airshow. But the Russians and the Chinese are out in full force. And because both China and Russia are by far the two most technologically advanced airpowers in the world, they always have a whole range of new products to display which can fill up the Zhuhai airshow.
The Americans take about 20 years to develop a new airplane. The Chinese are showing a new airplane like twice a year.
Here is another three minute video (at the end here). The Chinese displayed a really futuristic 6th generation fighter - the White Emperor B. The B indicates there was an A, but I cant recall it.

 
 





Little is known about this new 6th generation fighter. The plane is obviously a stealth fighter - which is now old technology. The aircraft on display appears more advanced than a mock up. They have already made upgrades to the airframe design.

6th generation fighters would be hypersonic or close to hypersonic. Top speed approaching Mach 4 or more. The plane would also have advanced wingman and drone capability. That huge cockpit indicates a two man crew with the co pilot possibly manning weapons and wingman drones. The plane should have hypersonic missiles as well and possibly laser weapons.   
If the plane is hypersonic it means the F15s and the F35 Stealth fighters will be left in the dust.  This is indeed a game changer.  The design phase looks pretty advanced.I hope we will see it in the air soon.
