NO WAY! IT'S SLIM AMY! NO WAY AGAIN! THIS DUDE IS NOT DEAD!

Overview:

The first flight of an aircraft like this started in 2012 with the maiden flight of the FC-31 "Gyrfalcon" Prototype. Unlike the J-20, which was a request from the Chinese government, the FC-31 was a private project from Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC). Initially, the chinese army did not show interest and the aircraft was mainly meant for exportation. However, everything would change towards the end of the 2010s, where the chinese navy (PLAN) realized it would need a new stealth fighter for it's also new aircraft carriers. SAC Redesigned the FC-31, and on 31st October 2021, the J-35 flew for the first time. The J-35A, aka the ground version of this aircraft optimized for the chinese air force (PLAAF) was presented in November 2024. As of 2026, both J-35A and J-35B (naval version) have entered mass production and the first units were delivered to the chinese army.

Armaments:

1x Unnamed 25mm Machine gun

6x PL-15

1x J-35A without an MTOW loadout so that you can add stuff on the wings if you please

Controls:

... Standard aircraft controls. No activation groups in special, at least for this variant-

Steel Carnage?:

Unlike my previous builds, I've decided not to add this mechanic to this J-35A. However, it WILL come for the HQ versions, along with J-35B 👀

Fun fact:

This aircraft was initially intended to be one more among the Part-Efficient Aircraft series, however, when i checked the requierements i nearly ██████ ██████ seeing how this aircraft DID NOT comply them, and adapting it to fit properly would just destroy the airframe. Soooo, I'll leave it as a morphologically correct yet Mobile Friendly craft with exactly 762 performance points 👀
