The fourth-generation, carrier-based multirole fighter aircraft is the J-15. It is known in Chinese and pinyin as the "Flying Shark" and performs reconnaissance and combat missions. The J-15 is a Chinese designed aircraft. It has a combat radius of 900 kilometers, and is capable of carrying bombs.
MTOW
The J-15, a light multirole plane with similar MTOW to the Su-33, is a light aircraft. External payload is 6.5 tons. It is also claimed that the aircraft can take off from carriers with its full MTOW. Credible Chinese insiders confirm this claim.
Bomb load
The twin-seat fighter aircraft, the Shenyang J-15, flew its maiden flight on November 4, 2012. According to the general designer, Sun Cong, of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the J-15 is able to match the F/A-18 in combat radius and bomb load. However, more work is needed to improve the J-15's electronics and domestically-produced engines.
Radius of combat
The combat radius of an aircraft is the range it can travel without refueling. It depends on the aircraft's altitude, its weight, and whether there are external fuel tanks. A low-level operation will typically have a smaller combat circle than a high level mission. Low-level flight requires more fuel consumption.
Mobility
You can measure the mobility of j15 using many techniques. It can also be used to compare different material properties. Multi-parameter models are also available to provide a better picture of charge transport. This requires more data, and more expertise. Furthermore, measurements results can be inconsistent among different techniques making it difficult to draw meaningful conclusions.
AESA radar
A J-15 upgraded AESA radar could be included in a new radome. AESA radars have improved target acquisition capabilities and reconnaissance capabilities. AESA radars are more secure than mechanically-steered radars. AESA Radars are capable of high resolution images and provide electronic protection against jamming.
Composite and radar absorbent material
Radar absorbent materials, also known as RAM, can be made from many different materials. One type is a neoprene layer coated with carbon or ferrite. It converts radar waves to heat. A ferrofluidic oil is another form of RAM. This material contains colloidally distributed nanosized ferromagnetic ferromagnetic particles that are strongly polarized in electromagnetic radiation. When exposed to strong electromagnetic fields, they can also cause corrugations on the surface.
IRST
The IRST j-15 system is ground-based and can detect aircraft far away. The system can detect aircraft from a distance of 285 kilometers. It can detect aircraft from up to 100 kilometers away from the rear view or 50 kilometers away from the front. It is capable to detect supersonic fighter aircraft from greater distances.
