The Chengdu J-36 is a sixth-generation fighter jet under development by the Chengdu Aircraft Corporation for the China’s Air Force.
Although the aircraft still remains in a confidential development status and many relevant details are not yet known, an advanced prototype was spotted flying over the Chengdu city at the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025, showing many interesting features and capabilities of this game-changing sixth-generation aircraft.
The J-36 has a diamond-double-delta wing, three jet engines (optimized for the supercruise, that is flying at supersonic speed without using afterburners), a tailless design to reduce the radar cross section and improve stealthness, and many sensors to optimize its combat performance.

Designing this model was really challenging for me: few available photos and videos, at a low quality, and no reliable blueprints or diagrams to use. Nevertheless I did my best and I realized a detailed model as exact as possible – at a 1:60 scale – which also includes many interesting design features:

– Retractable front and main landing gears
– Weapons bays with openable doors
– Missiles models inside the weapons bays
– Moving aerodynamic surfaces (ailerons and split flaperons)

The model also includes a display stand.
