In the extremely unlikely event that what you posted is true, it will be the only way you can see your precious AMCA actually fly.

SAC J-31 == AVIC == AFC

该款先进概 念战机主要针对国际市场，目前处于概念研制阶段，用于验证隐形技术、发动机技术、先进航电系统 等关键技术。
This advanced stealth fighter mainly target foreign market, currently still concept developing to test new stealth technology, jet engine test, advanced avionics system test.

Well it seems this new stealth fighter is low cost China version of F-35, future will sell for foreign Airforce.


I think next-gen China fighter plan:

1. J-20 for PLA Airforce

2. AVIC (AFC) for sale (stealth fighter export)

 

[Indischer]

Which is the company that came up with the design? Was there one more agency other than Chengdu or Shenyang that was tasked with development of a 5th gen aircraft design?

 

[cnleio]

Huh... J-10A prepare for export ???

SAC.

This plane is only in concept stage, a technology demonstration. It is probably a derivative version of the lesser J-31 for export. Without customer pre-ordering and funding, this plane might not see their day in foreign market.

It will be a sad day. This is a beautiful cheap stealth plane for developing country. Nice color contrast, beautiful pain job.

Of course it is not J-31, it is only "Project 310"
Only when accepted by PLAAF, then it can be called J-XX, and more probable J-21; at the moment, it is only project of AVIC, but not of Chinese army, just like S-37 and mig-1.44 for Russian.

Exactly.

Only when a fighter is accepted into the PLAAF does the name become J-21 or J-31. Since the PLAAF hasn't bought this, it's called Project 310.

no bhai right now im having OLD MONK XXX rum with cola and some snaks

See, can't talk clear, you are very high, I think maybe your elder add new "seasoning" to ganges!


On the topic, we can invite our friendly country join the project, SAC also need joint project, not only for money!

"Low cost" and "stealth" in the same sentence sounds really wierd.

It's the J-31 marketed as the AFC for export in Beijing. The prototype has already flown in 2011. You mean to tell me we stole your paper concept despite having an actual prototype? Do you process your words in your brain before you type them out?

 

[Anubis]

Does anyone know the unit price?

 

[Pak47]

This along with J-31 are potential Paf planes.

Who knows : might be made with PAF in mind.. Only for export like JF-17.

why you had to make a spoiler post? I was expecting a TOT post from my TOT intensive Pakistani members who want that every country unfortunate to be a brother or friend of Pakistanis should surrender its technology with full transfer and pay for it as well
