歼-35 与歼-35A 机库首度公开,未涂装机身首次亮相

Core Insights - China's first successful electromagnetic catapult launch and arrested landing training of multiple advanced carrier-based aircraft on the Fujian aircraft carrier has garnered global attention, particularly focusing on the domestically developed stealth carrier-based fighter jet, J-35 [1][5] Group 1: J-35 Overview - The J-35 is a multi-role carrier-based fighter jet primarily designed for air superiority, also capable of ground and maritime operations, marking a significant shift for the Chinese Navy from near-seas defense to far-seas defense [5] - Compared to the J-15, the J-35 features a highly integrated design, resulting in a smaller size but higher level of information technology [5] - Both J-15 and J-35 will operate on aircraft carriers, working in tandem to form a systematic development approach [5] Group 2: Technological Development - The J-35A is a multi-purpose fighter jet with capabilities for air, ground, and sea combat, incorporating numerous emerging technologies for new operational scenarios [5] - The J-35A employs a model-based systems engineering approach for rapid development and iteration [5] - The J-35 and its predecessor, the FC-31 (also known as "Gull Eagle"), have played crucial roles in China's aviation history, with the FC-31's first flight in October 2012 marking China as the second country after the U.S. to develop two new stealth fighter jets simultaneously [7] Group 3: Development Challenges - The development cycle for Chinese fighter jets, from J-10 to J-35, has been decreasing, yet challenges such as high costs and difficulties in upgrades remain [7] - A modular design approach is proposed to address these challenges, allowing components like engines, radars, and avionics to be easily replaced [7]
