J-35 carrier fighter (PLAN) thread

[latenlazy]

When making design decisions in engineering, there is always trade-offs. The value of rear aspect stealth for a slow single-engine fighter with poor kinematic performance is much higher than for a high speed twin engine fighter with high kinematic performance.

There’s also just development resources. They’re not redoing engines just for radar blockers, especially when the capabilities aren’t *that* mission critical. The J-20 was adopted with knowing compromises in the rear aspect.

F-22 also uses these and has excellent kinematics along with excellent rear aspect stealth. China was technologically behind when the original J-20 was built but surely now with the best technology they could afford to add these feature to J-35s and J-20As and hopefully retrofit it to some of the older J-20s.

We can only hope

Obviously WS-15 will have them.

Self-explanatory.
