J-35 carrier fighter (PLAN) thread

I feel like the nose and cockpit section is compressed laterally, making for a weird look. Will try to do a little photoshopping to see if this is actually the case

Update: not exactly photoshop (I kinda forgot how to use it) but I managed to get a demonstration of what I was thinking about. Basically I took the blue part of the original photo and stretched it a bit (indicated by red outline), and the jet looked a lot better and more normal imo. Not saying this is definitely how the photo was treated or if it was treated, so take what you will from this.

It looks too good to be true:

That's because it is a CGI.

I think it’s an aspect ratio problem. Native aspect ratio was altered.

I’m not sure, it looks like everything behind the cockpit (more or less) is normal, just the cockpit and nose section had the aspect ratio changed.

And another J-35 image …

New pictures don't look right to me. Canopy is too short.

Comparison with previous photo, sized approximate, at a similar angle but flipped horizontally.

Looks reasonable to me

I wonder if these are the exact same prototype, or whether they have now built multiple ones for testing…

From what I read in the chatter behind, it is indeed 350003 but these images were allegedly older than the clear one.

In terms of flying prototypes there should be at least two: 350001 and 350003, since mid last year.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if more have been produced since then.
