Then I need to apologize ... well, in fact I expect the flight testing of the J-35 to be closely coupled to the testing of the carrier, so IMO we can expect the J-35 to have finalised its land-based testing at least to a stage, that testing off the carrier can begin and that requires cat-tests off the facility in Huangdicun.
When this is done, ... actually I don't know, since for now, only two flying prototypes are too few and all will depend on when the next ones will come out.
I am well aware that both programs are only broadly comparable, but at least from the true prototype phase I expect a similar progress even if I expect more J-35 prototypes than in the J-20 program.
A “wild” guess could therefore be … (I was bored a bit)
... but please do not overrate this! It was more for fun.
