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

This is interesting but I'm not quite calling it yet -- the placement of J-35 in brackets when preceded by "new generation carrierborne fighter aircraft" is either there because the aircraft type is new (and therefore using J-35), or the J-35 is placed there by whoever in the university made the poster as a commonly circulated name for the aircraft.
If Mr Sun himself uses the J-35 designation then that would basically seal it, but at this stage I'm not yet sure if this is the university organizer taking some liberties.
Didn't the US jump from F-22 to F-35? Or Russia did even more spectacularly from Su-57 all the way to Su-75?
So I suppose the Chinese is merely keeping up with the competition. LOL.
In fact, Russia led with the "5th generation" fighter aircraft designation, the American quickly follows suit in reclassifying its fighter aircraft generations. As of now, the Chinese is still hopeless stuck with the "4th generation" fighter aircraft as their latest generation.
Talk about what's in a name.
lol bold of you to assume SAC and not the PLAN designates the navy's combat aircrafts
That "trying to keep up" is a childish vanity "dxxx" contest without any substance. What can one gain from a bigger digit? None. "sticking to 4th gen" is why I respect PLA and have much higher faith in what Chinese government and PLA says being truth compared to the other countries, because China does not (or much less) bluff and exaggerate.
I just hope PLA and China keep being itself and not become something that I always despise.
I think they are gonna keep going with their own generations and the likes.
As for the jumps in numbers? Eh could be the case with the FC-31 or maybe not, even if it jumped it wouldn't be that problematic imo.
Well, F-35C isn't exactly a speed demon.
it won't be named as FC-35 if it is officially navy project.
