The second J-36 prototype emerged with structural changes and a focus on maneuverability. The aircraft retains its distinctive features, such as large control surfaces at the rear and three engines, but adopts adjustments that suggest the design is advancing toward a model closer to the final product. The images appear just over 10 months after the first prototype was revealed.
