Discover the Power of China's Flying Shark J-15 Fighter Aircraft

The Flying Shark J-15 is a carrier-based fighter jet developed by China, designed specifically to operate from its aircraft carriers. This impressive jet has its roots in the Russian Sukhoi Su-33 fighter, acquired by China in the 1990s. However, the J-15 is much more than just a copy; it has been adapted and improved to meet the demanding requirements of Chinese naval aviation.

An Improved Design for Carrier Operation

Although the J-15 is based on the Sukhoi Su-33, it has received numerous modifications to better suit the Navy's needs. These improvements include advanced radar systems, a comprehensive modernization of weapons systems and an optimized structure. This allows it to operate from Chinese aircraft carriers, such as the Liaoning and Shandong. Notable features include a reinforced landing gear and folding wings, which allow the J-15 to perform takeoffs and landings on the limited carrier decks.

High Performance Propulsion

The Flying Shark J-15 is powered by two Shenyang WS-10 turbofan engines, which provide the thrust required for efficient carrier-based operations. These engines are renowned for their reliability and performance, ensuring that the J-15 can handle the demands of the maritime environment and high-intensity air operations.
