1. No such thing in the air (just take the skin of another aircraft). This is a Chinese invention (to justify their borrowing).
2. I already told you. It is foolish to borrow someone else's aviation design, if you can create your own (this is not economics, it is nonsense). The dimensions depend on the design capacity engine and internal equipment. If you wear shoes size 41. You do not buy the shoes 38 or size 45.
China has all the elements fit into the dimensions of the construction of the Su-27 (which in principle not possible). Only one conclusion. The Chinese equivalent of the Su-27 (a product of modernization of the Su-27). The Chinese do not design a new aircraft. They are trying to adapt its capabilities to the project Su-27.
China needs to call his plane Su-.. J. It would be more fair.
I am glad that they have started to recognize the adoption of aircraft structure. At least some - that progress.
The problem is not how many items are replaced with the Chinese on its Su-27. The problem is that it is impossible to be using, other people's ideas and hard work (and presenting them as your own). It's not beautiful. You sling mud at Russia. But do not miss the opportunity to borrow the missing technology you. Thus, you spit into the well from which drinking.
This behavior is not worthy of a great nation.
1. Yes, there is such thing as building a new aircraft out of an existing airframe. The Russians turned a modified Su-33 airframe into the Su-35.
2. No, it's not. Many countries borrowed the delta wing concept (which was invented by a Canadian), for example. It's smart to take what has been proven to work and develop something new from that.
They put entirely new technologies into a modified airframe. That makes it a new aircraft. I don't know why it is so hard for you to understand, but if you put an apple inside an orange peel, it will be an apple, not an orange.
The J-11B and J-15 are China's hard work, not Russia's. The airframe is the only exception. Everything within the J-11B and J-15 are Chinese developed and Chinese designed. For example, J-11B and J-15 have AESA. Does the Su-27 or Su-33? No.
