Official images show J-35 fighters of the People's Liberation Army Navy taking off and landing on the aircraft carrier CV-16 Liaoning, China's first carrier. While it has been known for years that these jets can launch from both electromagnetic catapults (EMALS) and ski-jump ramps (STOBAR) on carriers such as Liaoning and Shandong, this is the first publicly seen footage of the ski-jump launch in practice. The video also highlights the pilot's helmet, drawing comparisons with the U.S. F-35, even though detailed information on Chinese avionics remains scarce.
