Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

[asia2000]

I can say its J-31 v2. The WS-13E engine is still quite new and not fully mature or too long duration. But it need to showcase itself to win foreign funds for this project to stay on

Last year, J31 was given 15 minutes.

If J-31 managed to do a high G flip plus non smoky exhaust thrust. I am sure this year 10mins is even more significant than last year 15mins.

The provider of the classified fighter is PLA, so it is apparently not FC-31.

Well, I heard that it would fly by the end of October. Do you know if the PLAN is still interested or has it officially rejected the platform?

PLAN reject it but the developer of J-31 says it has some firm commitment from others(foreign countries)

Why not having a look before you decide?

Please avoid off-topic discussion. The thread is for J-20 not the FC-31. Thanks.
