J-35 carrier fighter (PLAN) thread

Do we have any idea or hint, where this image was taken?

Don't know, but something smells fishy.

I share your concerns and in fact I would not be surprised if this is either based on a CG very much blurred or a scale model diorama altered to the same effect!

wait, the j-35 is going to have an internal missile bay, right?

And when they test the bay, it is hard to see the missiles isn’t it?

Is that an anti-ship missile it is carrying?

IMO it is too slim for an AShM … I think it is more likely a dummy PL-15

A research paper from Chengdu Aircraft Corporation on an electrically-driven wing folding mechanism. Does anyone have access to this paper?

I wonder if Chengdu was also working on a carrier fighter, or maybe it was merely exploring or performing design consulting on certain aspects.

As a reference, some illustrations of J-35's wing and folding mechanism design from Shenyang Aircraft:

A side-by-side comparison of Shenyang's (top) and Chengdu's (bottom) designs:

阻力方向舵 -> Drag rudders? So flying wing??

Other than carrier-based fighter, what about carrier-based UAVs? Combat UAVs such as the X-47B/C and non-combat UAVs such as the MQ-25, for instance.

Chengdu is the designer of the WZ-7 and Wing Loong-series UAVs (and also the manufacturer of the latter), after all.

The wing shape is identical to the J-20.
