Shenyang J-35A - Not a F-35, nor a Draken

Not sure about the J-35 due to scarce info, but the J-20 should have them around it

do you have a pic/proof of it that you can post in the j-20 thread?

it is, the serial number contains P12AE
and there shouldn’t be any difficulty for any modern Chinese plane to use it.

5th gen plane uses EODAS, not normal MAWS, the dark windows on the aircraft envelope should be EODAS’s windows

surely fin size would make it unsuitable for internal carrige?

that could be a problem, but J-35 also has wing hard point.

The carrier-based version is named as J-35, with no additional suffix letters.

launching!

Hopefully we see the Fujian in game. China’s carrier aircraft need a ship no less.

I wonder is the J-35 will get any thrust vectoring or would that not be very economical?

I’m really wondering what they will do about the maps when these 5th gens get added. If they’re gonna recieve the same armaments as we got now, they will just be worse top tier fighters because they’re meant for long range and stealth.
But yeah sure +1 to all 5th gens, why not

Yes. WS-19 on J-35A and WS-21 on J-35 now.

not worth the thrust loss and its pretty much useless except on plane that needs it like J-XDS

ws-19 is rd-33mk/rd-93ma equivalent but just chinese right? (it’s slightly better than those engines as well)
what is ws-21, just ws-19 but with extra thrust for take off on carriers?

The WS-13 is the Chinese version of the RD-33, while the WS-21 is a significantly improved variant of the WS-13. The WS-19, on the other hand, is a completely newly developed engine with performance comparable to the EJ-200. According to current information, the J-35A that participated in the military parade on September 3rd is equipped with the new WS-19. As for why navy variant of J-35 is not yet equipped with the WS-19, it may be due to limited initial production output or because the naval version is still undergoing testing.

WS-13/21 is more a merge of RD33/93 and F-404 I think. They changed many structures. WS-21 is a improved WS-13, the name is said to be in memory of WS-12, which is an an old project based on F-404.

So basically ws-15 = al-51 > f-119?
And ws-19 > ws-21 >= rd-33mk?

RD-93MA I think, similar to the newest type of the series
don’t know if it would have better high-altitude performance like WS-10 series
