The F-35 needs to be larger in order to be able to take off vertically. It also has a smaller diameter meaning you can fit more F-35s on a carrier than J-35.

[@jacobbaumgardner3406]

The bump behind the cockpit is to reduce wave form drag at supersonic speeds, same as on the J-20A. It also allows for more room for fuel and subsystems. All new fighters are going to this way. Also, the J-35A is the second model designation, and the J-35 is the naval variant. So where we have the F-35A/B/C, they have the J-35_/A, same with the J-20_/A/S. The first model doesn’t have a letter designation. As an aside, they didn’t just pop this out, they’ve been developing it since the FC-31 first flew in 2012.

The Chinese Navy also funded most of the J-35 program. So it makes sense they take the first designation.

What they proposed back then was a larger than J-20, three-surface design similar to the J-15, except with internal weapon bays. After SAC lost, they diverted their focus to a lighter design, aka the FC-31. And yes, for a couple of years this was a private project. But only until PLAN started looking for their next gen carrier based fighter. The funding from PLAN later on explains why there was nearly no progress between 2012-2020, but rapid development since 2021.

The J-35A is the land based variant. It is slightly longer, taller and has a wider wingspan than the F-35, but significantly less weight. It's two engines combine to generate almost as much thrust as the F-35's one engine. One note: copying an existing aircraft is not trivial. The tooling to form the parts, the material science to "cook" the materials that will be formed on the tooling, and training the workforce, those are all huge challenges.

I've fallen into the rabbit hole of Chinese military boosterism - the South China Morning Post. It's theoretically the main newspaper of Hong Kong and is supposedly blocked in mainland China. However, they still have a comments section for most articles, and they report a ton on every little thing having to do with the military of the PRC. By reading those articles and the attached comments, you'd think China was considerably superior to the US in every military technology. They will take anything and everything out of context to make it sound like China is going to wipe off the floor anyone. They don't see any faults to the Chinese military and make a lot of excuses. I guess the latest is some theoretical research in China claiming that they have a design that can improve afterburner efficiency to 99%. And the comments are like they've just blown away anyone else. Only it hasn't been put into an actual flying engine yet, and current afterburner efficiency is about 90% (which is just how much of the fuel is burned). But anyone who knows just the basics of afterburners knows that using them is woefully inefficient, and a 10% increase in efficiency isn't going to do much. In China they have basic problems just producing military engines for the J-20, and it's not just single-crystal turbine blades but a host of things that's creating low yields. They're still not at the point where they have anything as good as the F119, which is a design that's 35 years old.

Stellar blade is korean tho 💀

[@Jeff55369]

It's a combination of the f35 and f22. China had a spy steal the design blueprints a few years ago (it was a very public event.) So, while not a copy of either plane, their engineers didn't start from scratch either.

[@donga2000]

Exactly the Chinese version, skinny F35.😂

[@andywu1198]

it will be a 2 seats version ,that's why it has that spine.

[@Growwithcoachsol]

F35 looks buffer than this skinny butterfly

[@aliceWT]

Chinese's next gen LHD has a catapult on board so VTOL version of the J-35 isn't necessary

[@李西面山]

did you only see on this fighter that had two engines and a hud? there are so many videos of this fighter flying on web, and you yugs even donot go to look for a video for your followers.

[@amarhassan7029]

Now jetplanes need beauty contest

[@hughmungus2760]

the lack of a HUD as a backup has on record caused the loss of at least one F35. Maybe redundancy isn't a bad idea after all.

[@RocketToTheMoose]

Curious, would the F-35 have had two engines the V/STOL B-version didn't need to exist?

[@Hystericall]

no, it's an idiotic compromise that doesn't really work. especially for a naval fighter, when you're over the ocean, having a single engine without a backup in case of failure or damage is a dumb idea..

[@RocketToTheMoose]

@@Hystericall Eh, perhaps it's less desirable, but "idiotic" is rather strong considering planes like the A-4, A-7, F-8, F9F, and several other classic single engine Navy combat jets.

[@jawarakf]

​@@RocketToTheMoose the JSF is basically a cash cow project aimed at making money out of US, NATO and allies with parts that aren't reliable yet expensive when Russia was no longer a threat in 1996. If there wasn't JSF, the F-35 will have optional stealth and conventional variants STOVL fighter mainly for USMC. The stealth variant with internal bay will fly air to air air sweep sorties and also air to ground SEAD and strategic strike sorties. The lighter conventional variant won't have internal bay would serve as air to air missile truck and air to ground CAS carrying only external payload. If there wasn't JSF, US Navy would receive 60-62ft less swept wing Mach 1.8+ twin engines stealth fighter bomber with side bays and large internal bay having long range and better armament than the present F-35C. The air force would adopt the enlarged F-32 with rear elevator fins that can go Mach 2.

[@COD0307]

how in the world it has STRIKING RESEMBLANCE, just because it has a wings and engines. You are supposed to be PILOTS, F-35 is FAT overall. Look at this design. It has 2 engines, it completely changes the design of the aircraft to add space for 2 engines. seriously guys grow the F up

[@sgt.grinch3299]

I wonder if their sensors are on par.

[@watb8689]

their radar are at least 1.5 generation ahead, they have eodas etc, much more advance sensors on board. after all f-35 specs are pretty dated, even upgrades require more power output. That requires to even upgrade the core of the F-35 engine. The beauty about J-35 twin engine, it generates more power that needed for all the sensors, radars and electronics on board. There is much more room for upgrades. Fat amy designers never thought of that huh

[@lagrangewei]

@@watb8689 despite being twin engine, J35 does not produce more wattage than F35 (with current engine anyway). I would agree their radar is onpar since China is the leader in material processing, even F35 sensor use material from China which congress hated but has no choice since alternative would cause 2 year delay in F35 production. what is less clear is if their software and data processing equal. sensor by itself doesn't tell the pilot much without good software that is EW proof.

[@subasthapa4839]

​@@watb8689you forgot to write trust me bro

[@kinwaisiu9414]

not just sensors and radars are better; J35 beats F35 in every single way.

[@pointblank722]

Twin engine, much better imho. Stop saying "they copy".....Engineering converges for physics and fluid dynamics..

[@kinwaisiu9414]

In fact, J35 is better than F35 in every single way.

[@mikedc]

Best counterfiet jet they made so far from usa stolen tech

From an Indian🇮🇳 perspective🧐, an American pilot's statement that everything is state-run without the influence of lobbies and contractors is quite alarming😨. Despite the risks, PM Modi is not procuring fifth-generation technology and lacks a technology and strategy to harness India's human resources. Maybe India should have a dedicated minister for home affairs similar to the one for foreign affairs, and the current home affairs minister could take on the role of defence minister.🤔

[@malaysiaterdedah3934]

Relax dude. Everytime I see an Indian commenting on China, they are always so desperate. Chill man, India's time will come. But not now. The future is bright, but it will take time. In 50 years, India will be a force to be reckoned with. For now, just relax. Cnina and India fight with sticks anyway, who cares if China has a J35. China doesn't really care about India, They are focused on US. India should worry about countries your level like pakistan or bangladesh. And also, you should team up with China to keep these westerners out. Stop being so jealous. If you keep focusing on China, the US will eat your lunch.

[@dec101102]

If that is the case, all 5th gen fighters are "copy and paste" from something as they all look very similar.
