I mean, that's more space to cram T/R modules in.

My thoughts:

Wow, that's a lot of real estate. Surprised that the J-35 looks wider than the J-15B folded.

The J-35 IS wider. The J-15 folds its tails also hence it can look pretty slim head-on when the wings are folded.

The J-15/Su-33 has one of the smallest footprints relative to its size with the wings folded



The image is originally from vector site, iirc.

I would have entered any bet, that's just a CG!!

J-35 looking way wider than I thought.

I do like its large wings. Should provide quite a bit of range

Is the second J-15 real/non-mockup?

The one at the front has a non-transparent canopy, while the second one has a clear one.
I believe the past close ups of mockups were all non-transparent canopies.

Similarly, the J-35 might have a clear canopy, but it is not a definite shot.

It still looks like a mock-up. There is no seat, no HUD visible under that transparent canopy.

We sure this is real? Kinda looks like a rendering to me.
