J-XY - maybe J-35 - next generation carrier-borne fighter

[LKJ86]

Isn’t the J-31 known as the “Snowy Owl”?

No

brother its finalized Design by PAF not by me

No, it is just a fancy placeholder but IMO unlikely the finalised design.

Anyway, tthis thread is on the FC-31/J-31 and we have a dedicated thread on Azm in the PAF section.

What might appear soon ... the J-35, but this image looks still like a model or at best a nice CG.

IMO a CG at best ... just look at the details on the gear, the tail hook - which looks rather crude - and the nozzles.

The main landing gear looks like it is not strong enough for the hard landing on aircraft carrier.

I really won't complain if the true SAC J-35 would look like this!

I don't like the fact that it doesn't have side bays. Given the amount of time they worked on the platform, I would have preferred it if they enlarged the plane and use WS-15 as engines instead.

Is this the SAC J-35 preparing for its maiden flight or yet another hyped post in the Chinese social media?

"Shenyang test station message, is preparing for the first flight of the year"

Or is it simply the rear of FC-31 no. 31003?

It would be nice to see the J-35. We are so starved of aviation news right now, stuck in this covid nightmare ..

Chinese netizens always refer to maiden flight as 首飞, and first flight as 第一飞。

Since the original Chinese article is using the words first flight rather than maiden flight, then you got the idea.

Having saying that, there is still a possibility of a maiden flight though I would I think it is a very slim possibility in regard to this particular article, i.e. it may refer to first flight of the year for 31003.

I expect the first prototype of J35 will first appear in taxi run test rather than a maiden flight.

Thanks, even if a disappointment ... so "only" the first flight of 31003 in 2021.

Will there be official pictures?
