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

[vi-va]

The landing gears flip backwards when extended. This is true for both J-20 and J-35. Notice the bump on the LERX? That’s where the wheel is housed after landing gear is retracted.

I have proved that the picture of the comparison of J-20 and J-35 is misleading. The proportion is completely wrong.

It may still have the same side of weapon bay, we will know when we see the belly one day.

Belly of FC-31 Ver 1.0 and ver 2.0, would J35's belly weapon bay be very different? The key point of this discussion is the size of weapon bay which you showed your doubt, not the position of the landing gear on a blur photo of J35. And since J35 is slightly bigger than FC-31 ver 1.0 and 2.0 why would they reduced the size of the weapon bay?

Why are you doubting the designer of J35? They are tasked to improve the design of J35 over than of FC-31, so extremely unlikely that the weapon bay could be smaller than that of FC-31.

Thanks for the pictures.

Because the front landing gear puzzles me. It seems the front landing gear takes too much room.

For the CAT capable version, the front gear has more stuff than standard land based gear, and also it is bigger and stronger as well.

China's New Carrier-Capable Stealth Fighter's Canopy Is Its Most Intriguing Feature

The new navalized derivative of the Shenyang FC-31 fighter has something oddly in common with the F-35B.

As it seems, the first clear image of the SAC next generation carrierborne multirole fighter J-35 (?) on the ground was leaked.

@Deino whats the major differences you can preduct from J31 in this J35 other then naval variant

 

[Deino]

Even if very blurry, it is anyway an not previously posted image of the J-35 prototype. Quite interesting, some say this one was spotted at the PLAN Test & Training facility at Huangdicun … and some say there are even already two J-35s - maybe mock ups - there.

Hope Pakistan & China also go for joint production of these J-35s...

Best for China to mature and debug them debug them first before considering them.

I think these J-35 are already become quite mature...

10 years and no serial production
Shows things can be slow if no backing

True in a general sense. However do note FC-31 is a SAC project code, the end product coming out of it will be J-XY (or perhaps J-35), it's moving at a pace that commensurate with its first and only intended app aka naval jet for 003.
