Video and photos of what might have been the maiden flight of China’s sixth-generation fighter jet went viral online in the country on December 26, 2024. The country’s official military media appeared to tacitly confirm speculation about the mysterious aircraft. The plane with a triangular tailless design was seen flying over Chengdu in southwestern Sichuan province in broad daylight, flanked by a fifth-generation J-20 fighter jet, according to videos shared on Chinese social media. Some observers speculated that the plane features cutting-edge stealth and endurance capabilities. While it has yet to be officially identified or named, one provincial newspaper referred to the aircraft. “It really looks like a leaf,” the Chengdu-based Defence Times wrote on its Weibo account alongside an image of a ginkgo leaf.
