— Deng Yudong, who is the business director of Shenyang Aircraft Industry Group Company (SAC), recently said that J-15 is going to be involved in a series of tests, including emergency barricade landing test on Liaoning Aircraft Carrier.

Deng Yudong summarized that recent J-15′s successful landing test on Liaoning aircraft carrier is accomplished by the fighter arresting hook catching ship-based arresting gear. When a landing aircraft engages a deck pendant, the force of the forward motion of the landing aircraft is transferred to a purchase cable which is routed via sheaves to the arresting engine, located in a machinery room below the flight deck or on either side of the runway.

He says that if a normal (pendant) arrestment or landing cannot be made, the barricade can be the last safety net for carrier-based fighters. To rig a barricade, it is stretched across the flight deck between stanchions, which are raised from the flight deck. The barricade webbing engages the wings of the landing aircraft, wherein energy is transmitted from the barricade webbing through the purchase cable to the arresting engine.

Deng also revealed that J-15 will carry other follow-up tests will be carried out, including aircraft maintenance on the aircraft carrier and weapon loading, beside of the emergency barricade landing test.

Short take-off but arrested recovery (STOBAR) is a system used for the launch and recovery of aircraft from the deck of an aircraft carrier, combining elements of both short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL). The Russian Navy aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov is the first country to build STOBAR carrier. Liaoning Aircraft Carrier also features a STOBAR configuration.

According to the People’s Liberation Army Daily claimed in a 28 April report in 2012, Chinese engineers are reportedly trying to develop an electromagnetic catapult system for China’s future aircraft carriers, the report said that General Ma Weiming (馬偉明), a professor at the PLA Naval University of Engineering, is said to have led the efforts to develop the system, which seeks to emulate the development of the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) in the United States.

Some resources also disclose that China has developed a conventional steam-driven CATOBAR (Catapult Assisted Take Off But Arrested Recovery) system for its second or third aircraft carrier.
