J-35 carrier fighter (PLAN) thread

[Gloire_bb]

I have sometimes found J-35/A almost overly bland in appearance. But when you see it in the higher resolution photos that we have enjoyed recently, the impression is more of a refined elegance by subtraction. It really does resemble the X-35 before it got fat over the course of the JSF development process.

From many angles it's more of YF-22.
If they later do square nozzles...

So now we've seen it on the J-35. Have we seen J-35A with this same type of new EOTS?

Feels a bit like somewhere around there there is a furious document exchange on delays/development hell.

Not bad. Definitely one of their better ones. But I still think PAF did better job at making promotional video on chinese jets

lol agree. China should let Pakistan be her salesman for her fighter jets overseas, since China is not known for being good in marketing . lol

Is it just me, or does the J35 looks even better than the J-20?

Always has, j-20 has some angles that are quite unflattering.

J35 is a very aleek and deadly bird, and also carrier capable.

Spot on. To me, the overall shape/design of the J-35/J-35A looks so clean/sleek that it crosses over into "boring" territory. The plane becomes much more interesting when one can see the details.

Not exactly news per se, but just additional confirmation from the Shenyang Aircraft Institute on the ability of J-35 to be capable of takeoff with both EMCATs and ski-jumps. Posted by @沉默的山羊 on Weibo.
