PLA AEW&C, SIGINT, EW and MPA thread

[delft]

I mean B-2 shaped or delta shaped, with a relatively thick profiles and with the antenna elements in the leading edge, in front of the trailing edge and probably also in side looking antennae on the top and under side. Where will we put the engines? How large will the fuselage have to be? Perhaps no fuselage at all? Certainly no dish.
Such an aircraft will save on drag and weight and so can use a smaller wing span. This is welcome in the limited space of an aircraft carrier deck.

Seems as if the first ZDK-03 for the PAF is ready !

who knows ? but another question related, and no less important is that is this plane is probably geared for china´s hipotetical indigenous CATOBAR carrier, because i dont think this thing can fly off varyag. Or can it ??

Even IF it can, it would be with severly curtailed performance due to lack of fuel. I doubt it would be worth it.

Besides, it has been announced that varyag is a training carrier. Maybe they dont mind reduced performance

It probably can take off from the angle deck if Varyag has the Kuznetsov speed. By the way, I checked and a Brazilian Navy six men team returned from China. They gave aircraft carrier management classes to PLAN personel.

Cheers

Nice .... with the no. 733 it seems a prototype / testbed and not for the PAK. !?

very detailed picture, Thanks Deino


i hope to see these in PAF service soon flying with JF-17s and J-10s

I wounder if PN will consider ZDK-03 AEW&C for its own requirement for 3-4 AEW&C

ZDK-03 for PAF...
