Shenyang J-15 aircraft carrier-based aircraft

[cirr]

Third generation platforms entering service en mass, fourth generation platforms under intensive R & D.

A catapult launch J-15 is rumoured to have successfully made its first flight.

To my knowledge, it made its maiden flight a few days ago and has an interesting code name.

Does the J-15 have an AESA? A rumor from a while ago suggests they do.

Not sure. Another source said,

Although not in its fully-developed state, it (the latest J-15×) is sufficient for the next several years.

This may have something related to steam or eletro-magnetic cat to be or not to be deployed on the 002 aircraft carrier which is No. 1 hot topic in Chinese navy forums.

That is why it is interesting that the boss is taking good care of the one in charge of the new tech. What does this indicate?

Yes, indeed! Two sides are at each other's throat! What an exciting era for Chinese military funs!

I am rooting for Professor Ma and his EMALS, because I am sure his team is going to win.

POP3 is rooting for the steam catapult, because he is part of the project.

To be honest, as much as we want to see EMALS on Type 003, POP3 and Huahua are going to win the bet.

As much as I am a pessimist, I am sure we will see EMALS on Type 003 but not Type 002.

And I might add that preliminary design centred on EMALS has begun.

None of us could have envisioned when CNS-16 was a rusty basket sitting rotten on the port of Dalian, 10 years down the road we would be fighting for what kind of catapult system, steam or EMAILS, we should be using on China's 3rd, and 4th aircraft carrier! What the exciting era we are in!

Of course, the Type 003 is to be designated as a 100,000+ tonnes nuclear supercarrier with the EMALS, and right now our nuclear reactor for the supercarrier isn't fully ready yet. So better to aggregate the EMALS with the nuclear supercarrier for the Type 003.

The Type 002 is also designated to have a twin.

We shall see the entire hull of the Type 002 in 2018, and it should be launched in 2019-2020. And the Type 003 should start the construction by 2022-2023.

Spoiled for choices.

This luxury has apparently landed PLAN and other relevant parties in a dilemma.

2021 will be a BIG year, so 003 will not see the show.

2021 will be a BIG year, so 003 will not see the show.

The 100th anniversary of the CPC will be the big event attainable for the first Type 002, and I guess the first Type 003 has a good chance to attend the 80th anniversary of the PLAN.

Not sure. Another source said,

Does J-15X refer to the catapult version?

I believe many people may want to know this J15X took off from which of the two cat hotly debated right now.

Yes, but it's not J-15X. The source wants to keep that code name in secret, so I replaced it with an ×.

The maiden flight was of course conducted in Shenyang and by rolling.
