BEIJING, Sept. 22 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese navy on Monday announced that carrier-based aircraft J-15T, J-35 and KongJing-600 have successfully completed their inaugural electromagnetic catapult-assisted takeoff and arrested landing training aboard the Fujian aircraft carrier.
The success of the training shows that China's first domestically built catapult-equipped aircraft carrier has obtained electromagnetic catapult launch and recovery capabilities, marking another breakthrough in the development of China's aircraft carriers.
The training verified the sound compatibility of China's fully domestically developed electromagnetic catapult and arresting systems with multiple aircraft types, according to the navy.
This means that the Fujian has obtained initial full-deck operational capabilities, paving the way for multiple types of carrier-based aircraft to be integrated into the carrier formation, the navy said.
The Fujian, China's third aircraft carrier with hull number 18, was launched in June 2022 and named after Fujian Province.
