SAC FC-31 Stealth Fighter: News & Discussions

[Beast]

I heard from Airforce sources that J31 behind the eyes of Pakistan Airforrce think tanks... let see...

Hope J-31 will come cheap. I think funding will always be a problem for PAF. With F-35 going to cost 140million USD per piece. Even a price tag of 70million USD for J-31 will make it looks like a bargain.

For the first 28 seconds, I didn't even see a single trail of smoke. I think the smoke is release on purpose. Anyway, good video

Is this another stealth Fighter? Is it from China or?

Bro, u didn't know China developing 2x stealth fighters ? J-20 & J-31, compard with U.S F-22 & F-35... China is the only 2nd nation who is developing two stealth fighters at the same time.


Like F-35, China will export J-31 to Foreign Airforce with cheaper price. N.o31001 prototype will attend "2014.11-China ZhuHai Air Show", the black-bird in ZhuHai now.

Nope didnt know. Heard you people were developing a stealth fighter(Jay 20 if im not wrong) , but never knew you were developing 2 stealth fighters at the same time. WTH? Is that really feasible/necessary? Though only a country like the U.S could afford such a project(and the U.S is already overspending on its military as it is). The F-35 alone already costs so much for the U.S, so developing 2 stealth ones seems to me to be a little bit too much. interesting....never knew china was developing 2 stealth fighters at same time, anyway time will tell how it plays out. Kudos though for this, its not an easy thing to do.

As far as rumor said, PLAAF chose CAC's J-20 as next stealth fighter but SAC's J-31 project for export or PLAN's next carrier-based fighter like F-35C. Anyway ppl believe the J-31 will be 1st export version stealth fighter from China, it will compete with F-35 in internationl weapon market, as far as i knew many developing nations have interests in J-31 stealth fighter.


J-31 == "China F-35", This time AVIC show J-31 in "2014.11-China ZhuHai Air Show" to attract more foreign customers !

J-20 is heavy weight fighter while j-31 is medium weight fighter. I don't see how they clash with each other interest when co developing at the same time.
