Not every ship will have a catapult. A tilt rotor based on say a Type 055 Destroyer, as the flagship of a surface action task force, could carry an AEW radar, and help provide early warning to the task force. A tilt rotor can fly higher, faster and stay up longer than regular helicopters.What's so special about it lol type 076 will mostly be used to contest Taiwan and maybe to second island chain. Gj-11,j-35,awacs like kj-600 and asw attack helicopters will be on that thing. Lol
Time is the factor. No doubt China will get there, but if leapfrogging the development schedule is a desire, procuring a commercial product is a cost effective route.If china wants to import something they will do it via Russia. But those days are over. China can make anything now and doesn't lack r&d money.
Bruh we have land based awacs at great numbers. Almost 70-80 of them so far. There's also kj-3000 in the works as well and kj-600 for naval variants.Not every ship will have a catapult.

In a Taiwan contingency, a tilt rotor aew could be on each of the surface task groups forming a blockade of Taiwan further out and allow China to maintain continuous radar coverage.
For long range missions, protecting commercial traffic, having an aew in the task force will allow more robust independent operations.
This thread is about Chinese NAVAL SUPREMACY. If China wants blue water supremacy it will have to operate far from its home waters, China will economize where possible. Every surface task force can’t be given and doesn’t need a full LHD to carry fixed wing aircraft like an AEW, if the mission requires it. A tilt rotor can fit that role if the landing deck is just large enough and the hangar big enough to accommodate it.Bruh we have land based awacs at great numbers. Almost 70-80 of them so far.

Helicopters primary mission are for submarine warfare. Why would china need the Italian tilt rotor? Lol china operates the second largest awacs fleet in the world. Not that far behind the United states.

There are also df-26 Tels ready for us navy and bases.

Chinese awacs are endless.
Lol Chinese doctrine doesn't have to fit the American ones. Chinese ships dont operate around the global. Only in specific theater. Asw helicopters are good enough. I don't see the need for that. It's also being used for special units.This thread is about Chinese NAVAL SUPREMACY.

The Malacca dilemma may see a need to change the doctrine.Lol Chinese doctrine doesn't have to fit the American ones. Chinese ships dont operate around the global. Only in specific theater. Asw helicopters are good enough. I don't see the need for that. It's also being used for special units.
Lol china has a base in ream Cambodia which put Malacca strait at distant crossfire of yj-21. The most likely blockade is somewhere in the Persian Gulf where the US is less likely to be in the range of Chinese missile strikes. That's why having bases in Indian ocean and gwadar makes sense but china speed building of renewable green and nuclear will help migitate that. If china is in a rush they can always build a pipeline in Siberia.The Malacca dilemma may see a need to change the doctrine.
However, the data and lessons accumulated in these development links and the development process are invaluable experience for an industry with ideals and ambitions. I can't think of any reason why China would import goods and ignore them. On the other hand, I don't believe that suppliers are willing to provide help in this regard. Everyone knows China's terrible strength in learning industrial technology.Importing a commercial product to leapfrog much of the development, especially if time is factor.
Tilt rotors have very complex airflow during takeoff and landing, and adding radar as a new safety variable is not a good idea.Not every ship will have a catapult.

I'm sure u have more knowledge on it than I do. U guys have fun debating lolTilt rotors have very complex airflow during takeoff and landing, and adding radar as a new safety variable is not a good idea.
Manufacturers have proposed building AEW on the V-22 for many years, but it has never been realized and no customer is willing to try it.
Building the AEW panels into the sides airframe should create an aircraft less likely to have those problems.Tilt rotors have very complex airflow during takeoff and landing, and adding radar as a new safety variable is not a good idea.
