Seems to be a "new" video of the J-35

The engines were smokey as a locomotive. I would say it's due to the low speed it was going but damn.

Still seems to be WS-13/21. Hopefully we'll get some videos of the WS-19 soon...

It looks like they are moving quickly to full production, faster than the Korean stealth plane.

Guess it'll be somewhat similar to the J-20 production. Few batches with WS-21 then with WS-19.

It’s not any smokier than usual. We’ve seen similar amounts of smoke from WS-10C.

Sir like AL31, releasing fuel?

Somewhat. Incomplete combustion of the fuel due to it being in low speed and RPM

Fair.

When the engine stops engaging the afterburner, excess fuel that is not consumed will start “smoking”. As a matter of fact AL-31 is actually less smoky in this regard than WS-10 or even F-119 and WS-15. As long as it doesn’t leave a long trail that could be spotted from dozens of kilometers away (RD-33 series) it is not that big of a deal.

Ultra low bypass smoky bros.

Well ... all I see are three prototypes! Nothing so far hints towards an increased production or even a serial run similar to the one noted for the J-20!

I could well be wrong and there are indeed more prototypes flying ... but at least it's interesting to see it more often.

Interesting, it looks like the black smoke was intentionally done, may be part of flight tests?
