The reuse of enhanced technologies and the adoption of innovations in various areas have boosted the J-35A's stealth and reliability, said an expert in a recent interview in Shenyang City, northeast China's Liaoning Province.
The highly anticipated J-35A medium-sized multi-role stealth fighter jet is set to debut next week at the 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition.
Developed by the Shenyang Aircraft Design and Research Institute of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) and manufactured by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC), also under AVIC, the J-35A incorporates an integrated design that blends aerodynamics, structure and stealth technology.
Wang Yongqing, chief expert and director of Science and Technology Committee of the plane's developer, explained how the technology was improved.
"The extensive reuse of various technologies greatly enhances the maturity of our key technologies. This way, with high technology maturity, the maturity of the system also improves, leading to a significant increase in the reliability of the equipment," said Wang.
The PLA Air Force has deployed a large fleet of J-20 heavy-duty stealth combat aircraft, which it began commissioning in late 2016.
The J-20 made its maiden public appearance at the 11th Zhuhai Airshow in November 2016.
Compared to the J-20, which debuted at the Airshow China in 2016, the J-35A features more targeted enhancements, reflecting recent advancements in technology.
"For this type of aircraft, the users set higher stealth requirements, and to achieve these stealth specifications, we have actually implemented many new technological measures and new systems. Significant advancements and innovative achievements have been made in various areas. We leveraged the latest breakthroughs in our existing technology to complete the development of the J-35A," said Wang.
Popularly known as the Zhuhai Airshow, the biennial China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition is the country's largest arms show and is recognized as one of the world's most significant defense exhibitions.
The airshow will take place from Nov 12 to 17 in south China's Zhuhai City in Guangdong Province, attracting 1,022 companies from 47 countries and regions. Russia, France, the United States, Saudi Arabia and Italy will participate in groups.
As an export-oriented international event, the Zhuhai Airshow offers visitors a rare close-up view of China's military aircraft, especially the newest models.
