Netizens described the landing of J-36 as a "buzz cut" style landing, which was incredibly shocking. According to analysis of multiple videos online, the test flights of J-36 are rapidly progressing. In particular, some netizens were lucky enough to capture the rapid landing of J-36 near the airport. Some say the altitude was only a few meters high, resembling a "buzz cut" landing.
From the released videos, the clarity is better than what we have seen before, and the angle is also more perfect. Especially the low-altitude rapid pass-over, quick entry into the airport, and smoothness indicate that the control level has reached a very high standard. Analyzing the turns and details, we feel that the arrangement and installation position of the three engines are very ingenious. Additionally, we find it fascinating how the flexibility of the wing changes during the landing process.
Unlike previous tailless fighters that relied on landing gear doors and small winglets to adjust direction and control speed and attitude, we can see several moving small wings at the wide rear part of the aircraft's underside. The direction, adjustment, raising, and retraction of these wings actually replace the function of large vertical stabilizers, possibly providing greater flexibility through the control of various small surfaces compared to large vertical stabilizers. Thus, the approach is very stable and smooth.
The appearance of our country's J-36 fighter, including the recent sighting of J-50, indicates that we are experiencing significant changes in advanced manufacturing and high-end weaponry. Since this kind of semi-public display reflects confidence, otherwise, we would choose a less populated area or an uninhabited place for testing. Now, conducting trials over urban areas shows that we are making major progress in new equipment and capabilities, and we are not afraid of being observed. If you really want to observe, you can do so easily through satellite photos, over city airspace, or near airports. However, observing externally will not reveal anything about our internal avionics systems, manufacturing concepts, onboard weapons, or China's innovation and creation.
This "buzz cut" style landing gives us goosebumps. It is an important manifestation of China's future capabilities. Previously, when a fighter jet was discovered in a special location in the west, it indicated our efforts to conceal from satellite reconnaissance and other intelligence gathering. Now, the loud noise, massive size, and beautiful glide path in bustling urban areas show that the test flights of J-36 and J-50 are rapidly intensifying. At least compared to America’s PowerPoint presentations, we have prototypes, multiple test flights, and have dispensed with escort aircraft and other support conditions, indicating that we already have excellent conditions and high scores regarding its practicality, operability, and reliability.
In summary, through this display action and the videos casually captured by everyone, we sense that China's innovation and development are undergoing rapid adjustments. Everyone has a sense of national defense in their hearts, which allows our national defense innovation capabilities to rise significantly and make substantial progress.
