The Shenyang Aircraft Corporation single-seat F-15/J-15 Flying Shark is a ship-based multirole fighter intended to serve with China's Liaoning aircraft carrier beginning in the 2012-2015 timeframe. It is a copy of the Russian Navy Su-33 Sea Flanker aircraft but incorporating Chinese-made sensors, weapons and technologies which may be shared by the F-16 ground-based multirole fighter aircraft. The F-15 aircraft is fully compatible with the latest Chinese strike weapons including both guided missiles and smart bombs. The People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) may deploy the new aircraft in the 2014-2015 timeframe.

The Shenyang Aircraft Corporation two-seat F-16 fighter bomber is a derivative of the J-11 (Chinese version of the Russian Su-30MK) equipped with a new radome homing an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar. Besides, the F-16 features pilot's helmet-mounted display systems (HMDS), stealth characteristics with lower radar cross section (RCS) than the J-11 fighter bomber and multi-purpose capabilities to perform both air defense and air strikes against targets on the ground and at sea. The J-16 features a stealth coating. The aircraft is fully compatible with the latest Chinese strike weapons including both guided missiles and smart bombs. It is even possible that the F-16 will be able to deliver space weapons. The People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) may deploy the new aircraft in the 2014-2015 timeframe complementing the current fleet of Su-30MKK and Su-30MK2 fighter jets.

The J-16D is an electronic attack (EA) variant of the J-16 multi-role fighter similar to the US Navy’s EA-18G Growler. The J-16D aircraft is equipped with an array of jamming pods, wing-tips jamming pods, a modified active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar system and a variety of anti-radiation missiles to perform both electronic warfare (EW) and suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD) missions. The 30mm cannon and the infrared search and track (IRST) was removed from the modified aircraft. The J-16D electronic attack aircraft performed its maiden flight in December 2015 and achieved initial operational capability in December 2020.
