Summary: The Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC) has advanced China’s naval aviation with the J-35, a fifth-generation fighter that enhances the People’s Liberation Army Navy’s (PLAN) capabilities.
-The J-35, resembling America’s F-35 but lacking VTOL capabilities, requires a catapult for takeoff.
-While tested on older carriers like the Liaoning, the J-35 is set to fully integrate with the new Type 003 Fujian, which features advanced electromagnetic catapults.
-Initially using Russian RD-93 engines, China is now developing the indigenous WS-13E engine.
