J-XY - maybe J-35 - next generation carrier-borne fighter

Until the USA expands CAATSA to Chinese arms manufacturers as they are likely to do in the future

I really feel proud of our progression in aeroengine developments. JF17 will sell to customers without any obstacle.

Though should that occur, China wouldn't just sit back and let such a move go unanswered

The evolution from
FC-31 demostrator #31001 to
J31 proto-type, and
J35 #35001 proto-type.

Edit: Correction, as deino wrote, J35 prototype is #350001.

Have you noticed the WS19 engine

But is it really the WS-19 already?

I find it most surprising that an engine for which development started later than the WS-15 is already more mature - at least to be used in such a precious prototype - before the WS-15 is mature.

As such and since we never got a confirmation for that blurry image to be the WS-19, I‘m more inclined to say it is the rumoured updated and modified WS-13 with a new nozzle, that is sometimes feferred to as the WS-21, than already the WS-19 itself.

Impressive evolution

Looks more like 350001 and not 35001?!

Well observed. Indeed it looks like a new engine.

Im no expert on engines. But from what i can see, the engine nozzles are serrated for stealth and it seems to lack the silver-metallic ring that characterize the WS-10 engine.

Or may be the metallic ring is there and the greenish airframe is hidden behind vertical tails.

Again, please consider this not as a proof for the WS-19...

J-31 and F-22 is surprisingly almost same size.
But J-31 has no sidebays. Why?

The comparison diagrams are not accurtae. J-31 should be smaller than F-22.

Unlike Russia, China doesn't depend on weapons export financially.

It has been 11 years since the first J31 flew. The progress has been very slow, China only has 3 prototypes. Not sure the real reason for the delay?
