J-15 carrier-borne fighter thread

Hu ... just noticed this artwork ! Any info on how reliable they are ???

To admit I'm a bit sceptical since either I would have expected similar changes - sans the canards - already on the J-11D or only some decent-minor-modifications on the J-15D like seen on the J-11D.
Even more radical DSI-intakes and a single-piece canopy would be nice !

Anyway a nice design ...

I don't think a notional "J-15D" would have any significant airframe changes; instead, it will probably encompass the same scope of upgrades seen aboard the J-11D (extra hardpoints, AESA, RAM, composite materials, upgraded electronics, engine upgrades).

Was that supposed to be sarcastic?

What is this?

Well, with the canards and the tail hook...it is clearly a J-15.

But apparently one with a new color scheme that we (at least I) have not seen before.

Deino...any ideas?

 

[Deino]

Yes, it's simply one factory-fresh aircraft in its typical yellow primer (I think at least).

J-15's Chief Designer Song Cong recently became an academician -- the highest honour China bestows on an engineer, researcher, or academic.

It says his name is Sun Cong. Didn't the J-15 designer die at sea after seeing for the first time J-15 takeoff and land on Liaoning? Had to be a different guy, eh?
