China surpasses rivals with worldclass sixthgen stealth fighter jet
Mystery aircraft with cutting-edge design marks historic milestone for the country’s military capabilities, observers said.
Chinese experts believe the country’s first sixth-generation stealth fighter jet may have even greater stealth capabilities at hypersonic speeds, with one commenter suggesting the PLA has “fully surpassed global advanced standards”.
During the flight – which took place in broad daylight – the jet was flanked by a fifth-generation J-20 fighter jet, according to footage that was reportedly filmed near the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, which makes fighters and drones.

Observers noted that the mystery jet – which has a distinctive triangular, tailless design – was flying with its landing gear down – a common practice in the early stages of testing.

Chinese authorities have not yet officially confirmed the jet’s existence or given it a name, but the Chengdu-based Defence Times appeared to make an oblique reference to the aircraft on its Weibo account.

The media outlet posted an image of a ginkgo leaf and the comment “it really looks like a leaf”, in what was widely interpreted as a semi-official acknowledgement.
