An interesting question would be what kind of makeup its airwing would have. It could potentially use the CATOBAR-capable (and AESA-equipped) J-15A, even though the aircraft is slated for the Type 002.

This new carrier will help enforce chineese naval power projection throughout the south China sea.

Actually Indian ocean near Andaman .

Do not say that Indians will be nervous, and then will say that China has brought them a security threat

Does not matter it is spring or Autumn, as long as it is launched in this year.

Now, will the island be lifted on board in one piece, or in two or three modules?

 

[Mangus Ortus Novem]

Although it has been a long wait...but the boat is coming up rather fast.

Now waiting for island to be installed in place.. should not take long.

Would have been nice to see a navalised J10s on this AC. But perhaps on later date...

I rather want see J-31 than J10 , we need to the best we can produce for our Navy.

Agreed, young dragon!

However, J31 has become too shy lately...what is SAC upto>

J10C naval version might be up on the deck earlier than J31.

But for long term naval J20 and J31 combo is the right thing to do.

I am certain PLAN always plans ahead. We might have to wait a decade for that perhaps.

But for now there must be a fully loaded CV in the waters...sooner the better.

I have impression that J10c is underpowered compare to twin engine J31, personally I put my bet on J31, it's same class at Mig-29k and stealthier...Russia has demonstrated that Mig 29k is suitable for ski jump carrier so I expect J31 to be able to perform similar or better, but I have never seen a single engine fighter on skil jump carrier...I could be wrong.

The Harrier. And the F-35 will do it.

Those are VTOL not conventional plane

 

[Oldman1]

Those are VTOL not conventional plane

Its still a single engine plane.

 

[Kiss_of_the_Dragon]

Lol, a vector thrust engine is quite difference that conventional one, unless we have something similar as F-35 but I don't think J-10c is suitable for ski jump carrier especially with full weapon load.

Well we can use the Indian aircraft that was recently tested on sky jump with only one engine. Thrust vector or not, it works with one engine and still able to carry weapons.
