It’s been brought up before. A lot depends on thrust to the thrust to weight ratio. My personal expectation is that even if a WS-13 version of the J-XY couldn’t take off a STOBAR with meaningful payload, the WS-19 version probably should be able to.
J-35 carrier fighter (PLAN) thread
- Thread starter Deino
- Start date
If I recall US has succesfully tested Super Hornet on ski-jump ramp to see if they could operate on Indian carrier.
There's not really an inherent reason why CATOBAR aircraft cannot operate of a STOBAR carrier. However the real question is how much payload (fuel, ammo) they can carry and I doubt this is much available to open discussion.
An idea I had. Next gen carrier fighter is obviously not going to be ready in numbers for 003 carrier, possibly even the carrier after that one.
We've seen catapult J-15s also being readied.
In USN, we've seen a size creep over the decades. Basically, a bigger plane is always going to be more cost effective than a smaller one.
Since 003 (and later carrier) will have to be sized to operate J-15, and since it may very well be prudent to use a fairly large plane to perform all the future missions, especially given that the carriers will already be sized for an even bigger J-15,
I have a tingling feeling that the carrier borne J-XY, the FC-31 derived plane - is NOT going to be completely the same dimensions wise. I expect a fatter, possibly slightly longer plane, and definitely one with larger wings and other control surfaces.
So, while it will likely very much resemble the FC-31 demonstrators, i wouldn't be surprised if the final differences will be closer to what SuperHornet featured compared to the regular Hornet.

"the engineer"
He clearly was one.. and need to construct additional pylons.
Protoss best race
I mean...the Nazis, Commmies, or Americans. Take your pick.
I prefer the Zerglings rush
