SAC FC-31 Stealth Fighter: News & Discussions

[ozranger]

Or just the start into another lease of life!?

Unless we can see the next prototype built and flying very shortly, otherwise the project seems pretty much gone.

Or simply like the existence of the J-15D (or so), the public saw the pictures only when the time was ripe for it But not anytime sooner prior to it.

They still struggle for PLAN's order.

Will see J-21 V2 in zhuhai airshow this year ?

I think the FC-31 definitely deserves a chance for the PLAN naval tender. Its size and layout make it ideal for carrier operations, in contrast to a navalized J-20 variant. And the 0.05 m^2 RCS is very decent as well for a VLO fighter. Overall, the future of the FC-31 is getting brighter and brighter as more features get added.

Give it a chance. The FC-31V2 is a much more capable version of the original FC-31 ... any future upgrade would be even better.

SAC gets the orders of FC-31 from PLAAF.

Is that official news? I can't read Chinese but that Doge emoji in the tweet makes me think that it's some sort of a joke.

How credible/reliable is this guy? How did you arrive at your conclusion from the text that he posted?

 

[Tsubodai]

Well if the PLAN is to get a stealthy Fighter that is not based on the FC-31, we could be waiting a while
