J-XY/J-35 carrier-borne fighter thread

[Blitzo]

Huitong is saying it’s a full scale mock-up.

Yes, that's been known since we first had a photo of it many months ago.

The discussion about it has always been with understanding that it's a mockup, and not a real plane.

We've never really seen an image of the 35 from the top before, could very well be this wide.

Just a thought: with no side bays, the main bay could be wider to make up for it? Additionally, bit more space for more range given the battlefield. Dont really see the downside to it being wider. Also more payload in beast-mode. I think China's past the point where Engines hold things back.

The J-35 is smaller than the J-20. Maybe some of the avionics located elsewhere on the J-20 had to be relocated to the areas of the J-35 where the side weapons bay were supposed to be.

Why?
The J-35 having a ventral weapons bay that is equal in dimensions to J-20's ventral weapons bay is already quite an impressive achievement for an aircraft which is overall smaller and lighter than J-20.

There should be no expectations that it should need side weapons bays or that lacking side weapons bays is some sort of deficiency.

It is smaller and does not have canards. But the biggest deal will be replacing the J-15. Which was now obsolete 1990s level technology.

At some point they will probably mass produce the stealthier J-35 over the J-20.

what engines will use in J-35 Naval variants? thx

Can you stop using this forum as your personal ask jeeves?

As it has been written on CDF to you as well, maybe try to do some of your own research, and maybe read the thread, to see if an answer is available before posting a question.

uhmm, I will question if J-35 actually has the main weapons bay in the same dimensions to J-20's
I know a lot of noises from China says that J-35 has the same weapon bay as to J-20, but back in the day, someone did post this

from left to right are: J-20/F-22/F-35/FC-31(V2?V3?),
Yes, this is a rough estimation based on the weapons bay cover, but it should give an idea that J-35 may have a slightly small weapon bay in compare with J-20.

The ship is the Izumo DDH from the JMSDF, but the system is proposed by General Atomics.

Also its interesting that they propose two lengths of catapult.
