The Air Force 1 CAC J-36 Stealth Fighter is a pre-assembled 1:100 scale diecast model representing China’s experimental trijet, tailless flying-wing aircraft. Engineered with heavy diecast metal construction and a tactical camouflage finish, this collectible provides modern military aviation enthusiasts with a compelling centerpiece for advanced stealth displays.
In 2019, Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (CAC) confirmed pre-research on a sixth-generation fighter expected to enter operational service by 2035. Early proposals included tailless designs, which were later echoed in AVIC's 2023 concept reveal. In December 2024, flight footage emerged showing a trijet, tailless flying-wing prototype flying in Chengdu escorted by a J-20S. Bearing serial number "36011," the aircraft was tentatively dubbed the J-36. Initially unacknowledged, it was reported in March 2025 as the "Ginkgo Leaf Jet," with later reports suggesting a carrier-capable variant in development. This 1:100 scale diecast replica precisely captures the trijet intake geometry, geometric stealth camouflage, and internal bay layout of the speculative multirole platform.
