SAC FC-31 Stealth Fighter: News & Discussions

[ChineseToTheBone]

Mark my words... this Aircraft will be inducted by Pakistan Airforce ALONG with China ... whatsoever reason.... China will not hesitate in terms of cost... agree or disagree... this aircraft will be "Pakistan's front line fighter" in future! THANKS TO CHINA for this SEXIEST aircraft.. just make engine nozzles like Raptor

There is a good chance that Pakistan will be able to buy the J-31 from China even before Russia and Sukhoi officially deliver variants of their stealth fighter jets to India.

India now is stuck in the FGFA project. Russian ask for 7billions for TOT.

Can i get more pics of BZK-005 on chinese uav thread with me tagged on post sir :-(

The weapon bay is huge.

The weapons bay do indeed look huge. By a rough estimate the bay looks to be about a quarter of the total aircraft length. Assuming the plane is 17.3 m long the bay should be around 4.3 m long. This is compared to f-22 and f-35 weapons bay which is estimated at 3.9m for both (f-35 a/c variants have slightly larger bays).

The first link talks about how most air-to-ground munitions are 3.8m to 4.25m long making most unable to fit into the f-22 and f-35 bays, hence the development of the small diameter bombs. If the estimate for the j-31 weapons bay length is accurate then it possible that it is able to fit most traditional air-to-ground munitions. The j-31 looks to be designed to have good ground attack capabilities.

Nothing unusual sir v2 inceases its dimensions so does its weapon bays

It means FC31 has ground strike ability.

From its beginning FC-31 pretend to be multirole jet just like a combo of F-22 and F-35, still no surprise

Ammunition Miniaturization is the difficult point of 5th gen fighter.

I think it's more than safe to say, FC-31V2 will not appear at Paris and even less likely V3 . They will most likely bring a model for display and hopefully a more reliable representation to that "look-alike" toy at Zhuhai, but not the real aircraft.

Well thats common sense from day 1 sir off course real machine wont show up until its operational ready. Model will be displayed as usual. But what interests me is what modifications will be on the model. Lets wait for tommorow 1st june. I hope v3 flies tommorow
