J-35 carrier fighter (PLAN) thread
- Thread starter Deino
- Start date
So what does this refer to then? Considering you posted it just under a pic of a J-35 with a number that could be 81? With part of the 8 obscured.
It is indeed number 81 but not the 81st J-35 … It’s quite common that the PLA dies not their numbers starting always with 01

@Deino what does the 06 refer to then?Another nice magazine scan.
6th prototype
Why prototype, and not production?
Because that aircraft still have 350006 on it
Does it mean batch 0? And batch 0 being prototype?
It also has number 3506 as well.
Yes & no, it is prototype no. 06 aka 350006 or 3506.
For the serial or LRIP Aircraft, they usually habe a (rarely visible) construction number and an individual bort number. Those known on J-35 are 80, 81, 82 & 93
