It shall not be any problem. The domestic engine will debut in 1-2 years time.

Currently It's difficult to reach 100kn，I would be happy enough if it can reach 90kn.We have to admit that F414 is awesome

 

[帅的一匹]

said it will reach 95 KN.

How can engines be a problem when every single 'Flanker' in this picture is already using domestic engines? Does it make sense that China can power the much larger 'Flanker' with domestic engines but not the smaller J-31?

The reason why the current J-31 is using RD-93 is because it is a tech demonstrator designed years ago before Chinese engines were ready. It's not a production aircraft. The production J-31 will have domestic engines.

I was talking about afterburning thrust.

WS13 is lagging behind, you have to admit it my bro. although WS13 will fit in soon, we still have to spend long time to test it on the jets.

I highly suspect that WS13 engine is not a dedicated design for J31 at the first place.

j31 shall adopt the same stealthy paint like J20 has now, it will looks much cooler.

J31 won't be ready for export before year 2020, we only have one until now. I don't know why we shouldn't have more to accelerate the test?

the central government shall invest more in the program.

 

[帅的一匹]

it will be a killer if J31 could carry four PL21 ramjet BVRAAM in its belly.

 

[j20blackdragon]

J-31 with PL-12D or PL-21 ramjet missiles.

China Has F-35 Fever
by James Dunnigan
November 4, 2014

Denmark is the latest customer for the new American F-35 fighter to report that local companies and military organizations involved in F-35 work were hit by numerous and frequent hacker attacks since 2008. The hackers were mainly interested in F-35 material and got a lot of it. China was named as the main suspect.

The Chinese already have a growing collection of F-35 material from other sources. In 2012 British aircraft manufacturer BAE confirmed that Chinese hackers gained access to classified BAE aircraft design files in 2009. This included data on the American F-35 fighter, which BAE is helping to develop and build. BAE was working on the F-35 fuselage, portions of the wings and tail, the fuel system, crew escape system, life support and integration of British components for the British F-35s. All or much of the date on these items was apparently taken by the Chinese hackers.

In 2009 there were claims that unknown hackers had breached Department of Defense Internet security and stolen terabytes (millions of megabytes) of classified data on the F-35. This caused considerable alarm. The Department of Defense and the manufacturer (Lockheed Martin) denied that this penetration and theft took place. But it was later revealed that there had been hacker attacks and eventually China was found to be the culprit.

China has since developed two “stealth” fighter designs, both of which have elements very similar to the F-35.
