J-35 carrier fighter (PLAN) thread

[Deino]

Looks not like the concrete carrier testing facility at Wuhan. Looks like an other facility, may be an air base runway or apron prepared with flightdeck markings.

You are correct and I must admit I don't know how this plain stupid mistake could have happened!

I already corrected it above + a second image.

People make mistakes ... hardworking people in particular make mistakes ... the lazy people make fewer mistakes ... mistakes are there to be corrected

Well, you’ve admitted to being over 50 years old; it only goes downhill from there, Gramps!

Sorry Deino but I have to criticize. The CG is something like "Tiger head with snake tail" (虎头蛞尾)。The head is very beautiful, like an F-35 but the nozzles seem too large for me. The vertical tail wings seem out of scale too.

I think first it may be some sort of artistic licence and due to the angle. Otherwise this has been discussed already but regardless of any personnel opinion, that's how the J-35 looks like. So I'm pretty sure SAC/AVIC had a reason - and that too was discussed - why it looks that way.

Can't wait for more images.

Can we have these CG images in a dedicated thread? They don't belong here.

J35 CG is definitely belonged to this thread. Read the thread title.

But CGs? There is already a thread for that.

The CGI is pretty but suffer from some implausibilities.

1. The jet nozzles are depicted as fully dilated, which would indicate the engines are idling. Carrier fighters throttle their engines up to militany thrust just before touching down so if the aircraft miss the arrester wire, the engine would already be spooled up and ready to send the fighter on a go around. The nozzle of an engine on military thrust should be fully contracted for Venturi effect. If a fighter had idled engine and dilated nozzle so close to the wire, then it is going into the drink for sure if it missed the wire.

2. the elevators are deflected upward. The aircraft hasn’t caught the wire yet. It is probably too soon for the pilot to pull back on the stick. doing so will probably cause the hook to go over the wire instead of catching it. even worse, pulling up sharply when the engines are idled and the aircraft had not yet caught the wire risks pitching the aircraft up and stalling it over the deck If it misses the wire.

3. The engine nozzles are canted up rather than aligned with aircraft axis. Does the J35 have TVC? Even if it does, this is too early to pull back on the stick and make the nozzle point up.
