Is this real? Dear viewers! Welcome back to our channel! We’re delighted to discuss today’s topic with you:
1. What is the significance of VTOL technology for naval combat? How does it change the traditional operational model of carrier strike groups?
2. Compared to the US F-35B, what are the advantages and features of this VTOL fighter?
3. How will the deployment of this fighter affect future naval combat models and the global military landscape?
Yes! The development of this VTOL fighter is not only a technological breakthrough but also a significant step forward in China's defense modernization. It showcases the rapid development of China's military technology and brings new possibilities to future naval combat.
VTOL fighters represent a significant engineering challenge. These fighters can take off and land quickly without a runway, a critical capability for modern naval strategic deployments.
VTOL technology allows fighters to take off and land vertically, much like a helicopter. The core of this technology involves solving two key technical challenges: generating sufficient thrust for vertical takeoff and ensuring stability during vertical landing. Currently, VTOL technology is primarily realized through two methods: using vectoring thrust engines to adjust the direction of the engine nozzle for VTOL, or combining lift fans with tailpipes, where the lift fans provide vertical lift and the tailpipes handle horizontal thrust.
In 2023, CAIC’s patent application for a twin-engine VTOL fighter caught significant attention, capturing everyone’s imagination!
This VTOL fighter adopts an innovative tandem layout of dual engines, acting like two collaborating superheroes to power a single lift fan. This ingenious design is compact, lightweight, and significantly simplifies the design complexity and reduces potential failure rates.

The VTOL gives a military an air capability that doesn't need an airfield or carrier. It can operate from a roadway, or any flat stable ground. Using an existing stealth aircraft, this VTOL will get the Chinese a wider operating venue for basing fighter aircraft. Let's hope we get a glimpse this year or next.

Now US will claim that China have stolen their technology again 😅😅

VTOL stealth JR35 aircraft can be used on the LHD amphibious carriers as it doesn’t need a runway like helicopters. China has a number of the amphibious LHD carriers already which can utilize the VTOL aircraft and therefore strengthening the amphibious ships with more fire power and combat capabilities during the day and night as it has infrared sensors to identify enemy aircraft at night. The stealth VTOL enables China to save lots of money as the amphibious LHD carriers are smaller and therefore cheaper and faster to build than the traditional aircraft carriers. Strategically these amphibious carriers are more useful for coastal missions than the larger aircraft carriers which are relatively more costly to operate and maintain.

How much armament , it can carry as a fighter bomber is an important consideration. Most present vtol are more prone to carry air to air missile only and at most two ground strike missile . With this load it’s unable to take off vertically ,and it’s combat range becomes limited. This is the limitations that has to be overcome.

They are powerful realy I like it

You are repeating several key points over and over - which indicates that you are "packing" your content in order to make this video longer while lacking further details of the new fighter, specifically in the technical aspects of it. We know that a VTOL fighter will make the smaller Chinese aircraft carriers that use a ski-jump ramp, more formidable as combat carriers as they will be able to carry more fighter planes than what they are doing without VTOL fighters. In short, they won't have to make as much use of the ski-jump ramps to launch their fighters.You could have mentioned the enhancements that VTOL fighters would have made for the Liaoning and the Shandong and pack even more fighters on board the Fujian. The U.S. F35 VTOL was developed after the U.S. took over the British Hawker Harrier "Jump Jet" which in turn, was a development copied after the Russian Yak-38 which was in fact, the first successful VTOL jet fighter using ducted air from its engines. The sketches shown in your video are those of the Russian Yakovlev Yak-38 and not of the Chinese CAIC design which according to your descriptive text, using two engines - which would have been heavier than the Russian single engine design. In fact, it would be MORE complex as well, using two engines. The U.S. F35 uses the Pratt & Whitney F135 jet engine that is acknowledged as the most powerful in the world. The use of a single engine makes the plane lighter in weight than one that uses two and aids in the VTOL - vertical takeoff and landing - aspects of the plane. In fact, the Russians were in the process of developing a supersonic version - the Yak-141 - before the Soviet Union broke up and this was never carried forward after that. If the Chinese twin engine version is a successor to that, would it be supersonic like the F35? While it sounds like exciting news, your context has some inconsistencies (technically-wise) and a far more accurate narrative would make your video more believable.

click bait. Many minutes repeating the same come-on phrases 4 minutes of content stretched into 13

Interesting

Eccezionali tecnologie😊💪👍

China aircraft must be better than the enemies otherwise it's a waste of time and money producing such useless machines.
-
Not even the F-35B is strictly VTOL and any copycats won't be either. Veryical takeoff is very inefficient compared to short takeoff. If and when Chia can develop anything like the F-35B will be a long time. I guarantee any first time attempts will be inferior if it even works at all.

😂😂😂its like saying that chinas kitchen knife is durable than japanese or german made knife.
-
I don't think so it might be a little better than our paper planes maybe i highly doubt it though lol

No one understands why the pictures of the F35b are the American fighter. And you are talking about Chinese jets. If China's fighters are so advanced, why couldn't you show us the photo of the Chinese fighter jet. How could China be more advanced than the US F35b, and China has not got one more advanced fighter jet in service yet. So you are talking nonsense and making fade news.
