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). ![Image](https://cdn.kureansiklopedi.com/media/uploads/2025/08/22/TJJGilx757RhUQfGovTAS6uyNQlhFWmV.png) *Shenyang J-35 (Haci Productions)* ### **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.
