J-15 carrier fighter thread

FWIW, a poster from Shenyang. I wonder if the artist simply took J-10B/C's canted nose and stuck it on there for cool effect, or if there is something to it. Take it with a very generous serving of salt.

SAC just stole those fan art without giving the artist any credit.

Indeed, it's from Bai Wei, by the way, does anyone know if he's still active as an CG-artist?

LoL, but I think avic actually patented the shape of j-20... just not sure about j-15, so to that extend....

If true indeed another major news: This latest image from SAC suggested that the J-15T - eventually officially as the J-15B (?) CATOBAR variant - is in production at SAC. Quite interesting it seems to feature new handles (for a CAT-launch similar to thise on the F-14) and a new HUD.

Do you think they will be able to use the CATOBAR variant on the STOBAR carrier or they will keep a STOBAR variant in production to replace attrition ?

How do the avionics of the J-15 compare to that of the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet?

There seems to be nothing in the CATOBAR design requirement that would prevent it from being used in STOBAR mode.

On the current variant they still use J-11B’s radar/avionics so it is safe to say that it is inferior. The J-15B will use AESA and uprated avionics.
