The MTOW increase from 25 tons to 28 tons.
Which means A2 can carry more weapon and fuel than FC31A1. The length of FC31A2 is 17.3m, compared with the 16.8m of A1.

IF MTOW increase than is OK, i early tot is Empty Weight is increase 3 tons.

I think this is v2.0 somewhere in this vary forum i read v3.0 model will be appearance in Paris Air show, June 2017

There is no possibility of developing a new version in half an year after the version 2.0's appearance in late 2016.
Just a rumor.

If design was frozen it is possible Sir I think it will be quite possible that v 3.0 model will be shown in coming Paris airshow but that for sure this is not a v3.0 but a a second v2.0

 

[princefaisal]

Design should be frozen after the next version so that its construction may begin for early induction in 2019-2020.

That depends on the progress of the project.
The most important thing is to find a suitable engine with thrust huge enough to provide the capability of supersonic cruise.
Then comes the stealth ability which is the key trait for a fifth gen fighter jet ,which has given an overwhelming superiority proved by US's drill and China's internal air combat exercise.

As for the aviation, it is not a big deal for SOC ，cause they could get the tech with the same level of J-20's from the same supplier of J-20.

Never ever ! It is plain impossible - even if they would manage to fly an alleged V3 before Paris (what I also highly doubt) - to bring that bird to Paris.

From all reports we've heard it will be a model of V3 but we have to remember that also several of these reports say that the current bird we call V2 is already V3.
