J-XY/J-35 carrier-borne fighter thread

[Temstar]

So I'm guessing with the two companies busy with J-20S and J-35, that CAC single engine 5th generation carrier aircraft isn't happening?

I don't think that rumour was ever particularly substantiated.

Has our PS experts confirmed it's authenticity yet? got burned by the last one.....

If this is real, why the change of cockpit shape I wonder.

Maybe raised cockpit for better downward visibility?

This airframe looks *very* mature, in the sense that it seems to have most or all of its subsystems already integrated into the plane. If this plane is the equivalent to the 201X series of prototypes for the J-20, the J-35 might enter LRIP very quickly. 201X to LRIP was just under 2 years, and about 3 years to start of mass production.

I don't quite understand why it has a canopy like F-35B which would impact the aft view seriously.

WTF, this is Halloween and Christmas happening together - I'll happily take both surprises.

3 surprises actually (if you count J-20s from a few days back), which is even better!

And no more canard impacting stealthiness arguments and crap-talkings, which is utterly satisfying.
