Yankee said that the J-20 used to test TVC engine might've been either 2011 or 2012. Guess those demonstrators are good enough to last for years.

601... is very disappointing.

Please translate, what does the image represent?

 

[Deino]

After lost in the competition of J-20 with 611, 601 once proposed that one.

But it is a single-engined type! I canot think that it was for the same requirement or did SAC propose this one as a smaller and lighter complement aka J-10-successor?

But FC-31came out.

But FC-31came out.

But then again another design also from SAC additionally to the FC-31 makes even less sense?
