A recent photo of a prototype of a new tailless stealth combat aircraft being developed by Chengdu has attracted the attention of experts and aviation analysts. The picture clearly shows that there are two crew seats in the cockpit, located side by side. This configuration is unusual for modern fighters and indicates the special mission and purpose of this machine.
The two-seat cockpit layout suggests that the aircraft is being developed as a long-range fighter-bomber capable of performing complex tasks requiring the joint work of a pilot and an operator of weapons or control systems. The tailless aerodynamic design probably provides improved maneuverability and reduces visibility in the radar range, which is typical for stealth aircraft.
This project reflects China's desire to develop modern multifunctional combat platforms capable of competing with advanced counterparts in the world. Long-range fighter-bombers with a high degree of stealth play a key role in modern air operations, providing both strike capabilities and air superiority.
In the coming years, additional information is expected about the technical characteristics and capabilities of this aircraft, which can significantly strengthen the Chinese air force and change the balance of power in the region.
