Carrier-borne FC-31

@Deino i have a strong feeling

 

[Deino]

Again ... how recent, how reliable is this model and where it displayed ??

I read that model is on display at the Shenyang Aircraft Design Institute no. 601's showroom.

in IDEX-2017 ... ???

Nice, but an old and IMO inaccurate model of V1-configuration.

yes

not old, it's exposed on IDEX2017...
It's an official version done by the company himself for "potential" buyers...
I think they would at least played the accuracy card...

That might be a logical assumption, but it IS simply a model showing the old configuration of V1 and even this not very accurate.

No, even more I'm disappointed ! If SAC/AVIC really want to raise customer interest, then I would expect a representative model the latest configuration.

As such; I'm really sad.

the changes i can predict currently are that -
1 . Single piece bubble canopy
2 . Curvy inlets unlike flattened inlets of 31001
3 . No EOTS
4 . TAIL FLAPS CHOPPED FROM BENEATH

That might be a logical assumption, but it IS simply a model showing the old configuration of V1 and even this not very accurate.

i have a strong feeling this was meant for PLAN specifically

i dont think this one is that much stealthy due to the nose design similar to thunder and the raised canopy which increases Frontal RCS

 

[Deino]

Sorry, but here I disagree: IMO this is plain and simple an not-very accurate model of a generic FC-31. Don't ask me why they don't show on that quite important show a new model but instead an outdated one, but I cannot believe that after years of refinements from V1 to V2 and just one flight of the improved prototype they revert nearly everything back ti some sort of V1.63 ! IMO Never.

You'd be surprised at the sort of discrepancies that exist in these company presentations. The serial number #31001 is of a technology demonstrator, not a prototype, and the model is quite poorly-made as well.

 

[Deino]

Here it is again even labelled with '31001' so You really can't take this model seriously as a current iteration !

Maybe they already have customers. They don't rush it. when you don't show the best you have got in hands means you are not in a hurry to sell it.

Or maybe FC31blk2 will attend PLAN competition. The current show up of FC31 BLk1 in IDEX means the advanced version will be inducted by PlAN or PLAAF, a good news per my perspective.
