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

[siegecrossbow]

The real question is if the Air Force version also has the canopy change.

It’s said that J35 already has its first customer

PLANAF would obviously be the first customer. Is the rumor about a foreign customer?

Beautiful bird.
Looks like the hump on its back gotten bigger. Maybe for better aerodynamics or more fuel storage?
Also tail is fully rotating flaps.

This bird would look stunning with 2D exhaust nozzles. Any idea if China is working on 2D vectoring tech?

Primary reason is reduction of drag at transsonic speed, as counterintuitive as it seems at first glance. There is a paper on it.

Have you noticed the WS19 engine

Just heard that Saudi has some interest on this bird since there will be no limitation for operation once it is sold to any end customer, not like the US F-35s, every time when it needs to take off, the end customer (like South Korea) needs to apply for a passcode to turn on the control system on plane.

Any translation of the text below the photo? Does it indicate a max thrust of 124 kn?

lol no. china doesnt release these kinds of numbers. we don't even know the numbers for the ws-10 which is in Pakistani j-10

the 124 is the number of people on the team that is under 35 years old.

The text have nothing to do with technical data, it meant total number of people in this turbofan engine development team consist of 193 personnel, out of that 124 of them are under the age of 35 years old. (65%)

It took the team only 1 year to complete the engine design, and another half a year for the first engine verification test, achieving a breakthrough in domestic engine test efficiency and success rate. The engine manufacturing cycle has been shorten by 2/3 of the time.

The TRW ration is around 11, the weight of the engine is around 1 ton. JF17 will have new engine after WS19 mass produced.
If AZM choose to be an dual engine design, it will be a multi-role fighter jets.

Would love to see this engine in a future block of the JF-17.

WS 15 or WS19, a happiness trouble for Pakistan Air Force.

Just thinking about a J-10 with a WS-15 engine opens up so many possibilities for long term growth in such a relatively modest platform. Supported by WS-19 equipped JF-17 that can hold their own against any 4/4.5 Gen platform operated by the IAF.

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

It is just fluff. Only important detail is that development time has been shortened by 2/3.
