J-31 May Become China's Next Generation Carrier-borne Fighter Jet
globaltimesSun Cong, chief designer of the J-15 carrier-borne fighter jet and a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, accepted a special interview with Xinhua News Agency on March 2.The J-15, nicknamed "lying shark", is China's first generation of carrier-borne fighter jet. When the piloted J-15 fighter landed on the Liaoning aircraft carrier for the first time and successfully took off, Sun was filled with excitement.
J-15 carrier-borne fighter jet has filled the technological gap in the related fields. Compared with land-based aircraft, the carrier-borne aircraft raised more and higher requirements in technological aspects.
Sun said the carrier-borne fighters must have the same combat capability as the land-based fighters in terms of bomb load, combat radius, and maneuverability; it must have good low-speed performance. It also raised higher requirements in terms of blocking landing in the sea and ski-jump takeoff.
"The engine is the key. If we can halve the fuel consumption, the combat radius will increase." Sun said that a J-15 equipped with domestic engines can have a combat radius of more than 1,000 kilometers. Considerable progresses have been made in fire control radar and guided missiles. "The indicators of J-15 are generally close to US F/A- 18 Hornet , reaching world-class standards."
To make sure the aircraft slides at a relative velocity of about 60 meters per second in a fixed and constant posture on the glide slope and land precisely on the fight deck, many key technological difficulties including the operation methods of the pilot, the technical design characteristics, and other aspects need to be overcome.
Sun is also the chief designer of the J-31. He hopes the J-31 can pair up with J-20 in the future in tasks of both high and low altitudes, to maintain continuing striking capability. He also hopes the improved version of J-31 can become China's next-generation carrier-borne fighter jet.
At present, Sun and his team are exploring key technologies of the next generation of fighter planes, and "will make breakthroughs in terms of whole time-domain, whole airspace, and greater combat radius".
isn't globaltimes the Chinese mouth piece?
Why does it matter, it's not like it's an article of China tooting its own horn.Originally Posted by thounaojamtom
And I thought it was fairly obvious that the J-31 would be put to carrier use. Can't be using J-15s forever.
Copy Su-33, reaname it - name yourself designer.
The J-31 isn't a Su-33 rip off. On this occasion it is more of an F-35/F-22-esque fighter with twin tails with a very limited internal payload. This is only the stuff we can discern from immediate external observation; no doubt there are dozens of convenient “similarities” to be found both externally and internally across the plane that we haven’t noticed yet. Unless of course you were referring to the Chinese approach with the J-15 in which case by all means, carry on
yeah free hand propaganda.
Yes, but in this case is talking about a internal matter of chinese defense industry,.
Beside that saying that "The indicators of J-15 are generally close to US F/A- 18 Hornet, reaching world-class standards."talking about a Flanker derivative is definitively not a big achievement, or maybe he was referring to a Super Hornet?
Was expecting J-20, Perhaps large size does not fit the hangers..
An English-language Chinese newspaper under the People's Daily
Given that China won't have a functioning combat aircraft carrier for quite some time, and the J-15 is already in development and intended for these ships, I would not expect the J-31 in action for a very, very long time.
He was obviously refering to J-15. And he isn't wrong on that.The J-31 isn't a Su-33 rip off. On this occasion it is more of an F-35/F-22-esque fighter with twin tails with a very limited internal payload. This is only the stuff we can discern from immediate external observation; no doubt there are dozens of convenient “similarities” to be found both externally and internally across the plane that we haven’t noticed yet. Unless of course you were referring to the Chinese approach with the J-15 in which case by all means, carry on
Anyway, not gonna happen given the history between China and India.
I must have missed something. What isn't going to happen?
Captain Obvious reporting: The thread's topic — namely, India ordering a Chinese plane.
I don't see that mentioned anywhere?
