## Article Content

The [Shenyang J-35](/en/detay/shenyang-j-35-235a5/llms.txt) is a twin-engine, [fifth-generation stealth fighter](/en/detay/lockheed-martin-f-35-lightning-ii-2768a/llms.txt) developed by the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC) for the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy. Initially designed as a derivative of the export-oriented **FC-31 Gyrfalcon** project, the J-35 has been developed to perform air superiority and strike missions from China's new-generation aircraft carriers. The J-35 is seen as a rival to fighters such as the US [F-35](/en/detay/lockheed-martin-f-35-lightning-ii-2/llms.txt).

### **Design and Development**

The design process for the J-35 is based on the FC-31 project, whose first prototype flew in 2012. Although the FC-31 was initially launched by a private company to meet the Chinese Air Force's need for a fifth-generation fighter, it later attracted the Navy's interest. The aircraft was adapted for aircraft carrier operations and made its maiden flight in 2021.

### **Structural Features**

The aerodynamic design of the J-35 has been specifically optimized to minimize radar visibility. Stealth technologies such as internal weapon carriage, radar-absorbent materials (RAM), and special engine exhausts have been utilized. The aircraft's twin-engine configuration provides high speed and a high thrust-to-weight ratio. While early prototypes used Russian-made RD-93 engines, production models are reported to be equipped with the domestically produced [WS-13E](/en/detay/tei-tf35000-turbofan-engine-5a392/llms.txt) and the more powerful WS-19 turbofan engines.

### **Technical Specifications and Capabilities**

Although the operational data and technical specifications of the J-35 are kept classified, some basic performance data, according to press reports, are as follows:

- **Category:** Fifth-Generation Stealth Fighter
- **Origin:** China (Shenyang Aircraft Corporation)
- **Engines:** 2 x Domestic WS-13E/WS-19 turbofan engines
- **Maximum Speed:** Estimated to be around Mach 1.8.
