China introduced the technology J-15

It is downplaying the J-15 Whatever the important competition in the weapons market worldwide, in early June 2010 to Igor Korochenko Colonel of the Russian Ministry of Defense, military experts in Russia, "I, Russia for China to buy the Su-33 a considerable number of J-15 is an imitation of China also. would not be able to achieve a performance equivalent to that of the Su-33 carrier-based fighter of Russian-made I explained that "does not exclude the possibility of returning to negotiations with. To determine the purchase of Su-33 from Russia, China had been activated in the opportunity of a very large number, but negotiations miscellaneous is that the fighter J-11B, which was developed in China as the basis of the Su-27SK in 2006, there is no hope of also true at the stage of March 2009 is,, proposed frustrated after that it violates the intellectual property rights agreement is discovered.

It is estimated that J-15 prototype of the first, and was carried out the first flight on August 31, 2009. This aircraft was equipped with a Al-31 turbofan engine, which is supplied from Russia. Video and still images of the flight is published in July 2010, which show the airframe design similar to that of the Su-33 basically. July 2011, which is the output of enhanced FWS-10 turbofan engine thrust 12,500kg, FWS-10H turbofan engine takeoff thrust is enhanced in 12,800kg is selected for J-15 fighter it has been reported. To a body suitable for fighter twister, and is applied also other improvements.

J-15 was the takeoff run from the first equipment that has been installed on the ground to simulate the ski jump deck. Training made ​​China's first aircraft carrier in the "Liaoning", J-15 has successfully wearing ship to the flight deck for the first time.

China introduced the technology that their development that you use the system and avionics different from that of the Su-33 is, and also been reported, the new electronics AESA radar, radio wave absorber, missile warning device, IRST, and composite materials such as various produced by 3D printing technology the major titanium alloy load-bearing structure, such as landing gear, according to the chief architect of being subjected to the upgrade, we have succeeded in that to shorten the development time by this. Aircraft using a large part by the 3D printer to overcome the lack of strength and deformation of the metal is the world's first.

Horizontal tail wing and can be folded upward by about each of.
