SAC FC-31 Stealth Fighter: News & Discussions

[Akasa]

I think there is an opportunity for PLAN,totally china will have at least 6 aircraft carriers,J15 can not confronted with F35，J31 is a good option for PLAN

It will have to compete with a carrier-borne version of the J-20.

A very insightful article written by the CCTV journalist who has interviewed the rolling-out the prototype J-31 in 2012

Looking in hindsight, he seemed to have confirmed:
1) the use of the Chinese engine on the prototype J-31;
"到后面看看菊花，话说那菊花片闪着异样的蓝色光泽，喷口和尾椎以别扭姿势衔接着，我就感觉，违和感实在太强了，就算你是国菊，“小四”心里明显还是抗拒的，它心里有别人。"
2) it also had two internal weapons bays on the air intake sides;
"比如钻肚子底下去看弹仓（yes），抱着试试看的心情去看下侧弹仓（you wish）"到后面看看菊花，话说那菊花片闪着异样的蓝色光泽，喷口和尾椎以别扭姿势衔接着，我就感觉，违和感实在太强了，就算你是国菊，“小四”心里明显还是抗拒的，它心里有别人。"
3) it was air superiority fighter because the designer said repeatedly it looked very similar to F-22
"一个他一直说，觉得“小四”长相上更像F22，我似乎感受到了F35遭到了嫌弃；"

关于小四的记忆碎片（上）

为一件看不到结果的事情 你能坚持50年么
关于“小四”的记忆碎片（上）

记者就有这点好，有啥热闹，都有机会去看看。

“粽子机”经闹得沸沸扬扬的那年，我奉命去拍“小四”的下线仪式。我很惊讶，因为我第一次到沈飞，不是拍“蔡国庆”，也不是拍“飞鲨”，而是拍“小四”。那时候刚来台里不久，器不大活也不好，加上保密的要求，对象单位也没有提供多少文字资料，仅凭自己在各种军坛里道听途说，就简单策划了一下，基本属于一遭遇战，现在看来，图羊图森破。

插播一下，这个算不得大家说的“官泄”，我们没有什么上峰指示，仅仅凭着自己一点工作热情，对方单位也有这样的意愿，恰好此时，真正的“官”并没管着不让干，仅此而已。

我还是喜欢叫小四
坐高铁去的沈阳，到那是下午，直接去厂房看了现场。这种震撼还是很大的，你不管听过多少黑沈飞的话，到了那里看到传说中的战机就在你面前，而且随便看随便摸，基本跟路上捡块江诗丹顿的表是一个感觉。

中型！中型！不是轻型
“小四”比我想象的小，甚至一时间有过“它是三蹦子改出来”的错觉。（我这是想形容，它看上去很轻盈），整体上很紧凑协调，是架有颜值的飞机。涂装和后来在珠海航展亮相时基本是一样的。我靠到近处仔细看了一下，感觉应该不是期待中的什么隐身涂料，有的地方并不匀，像品质一般的粉底。当然，这只是架工程样机，刚下线。

作为军迷到了传说中的“小四”面前，几个地方必看的，比如钻肚子底下去看弹仓（yes），抱着试试看的心情去看下侧弹仓（you wish），到后面看看菊花，话说那菊花片闪着异样的蓝色光泽，喷口和尾椎以别扭姿势衔接着，我就感觉，违和感实在太强了，就算你是国菊，“小四”心里明显还是抗拒的，它心里有别人。

这发动机是怎么装的？
总装厂房本来也是要当做下线仪式的现场的，所以清理得很干净。基本就剩一架飞机和简单的工装了。厂房北侧应该是设计好的参观区，很多鹘鹰的大比例木质模型摆在那里。有的把机翼折叠了，机翼下面挂着长相酷似鹰击12的弹，设计人员工作时心里惦记着哪家客户，其实还是在模型上体现得很明显。

哪个小四的模型没挂反舰弹的？
接下来的任务是采访。组织采访的哥们知道我算个军迷，特意嘱咐我，别老问技术性的问题，也照顾下他们的宣传需要，问点儿重大成就啊，航空情怀啊啥的，我说没问题，我其实也没打算问啥技术问题，问多了你又不给我播（结果我还是想少了，我后来连带子都没再见过，这是另一个故事）。然后就先请厂里管生产的领导先说，这领导真的是平时憋了一肚子话，拉着我把鹘鹰的总装线说了一溜够，到今天好多东西我也一样听不懂，但知道四代机的生产工作，方法新，精度高，难度大，但因为要干这个型号，咱把家伙事儿都配备齐全了，能力上了一个新台阶。虽说他说的内容我挺难用的，但那神气劲儿，让我能感受到，这是沈飞人扬眉吐气的一天。后面采了几个总装或部装的工人代表，还有女生，都很年轻，80后90前，都兴奋得很，说的比较多的话是：好久没回家看看了。

要说DSI进气和体格综合，小四应该更像F35才是，但事实上看......总师看他的时间比我多
总师肯定是要采的，当天确实没准备，但老总同志已经到现场了，根本来不及，那就聊呗。老总从来就是一个很有性格的人，对电视节目来说是个很好的采访对象，当然当时我并不知道。简单地问了下基本情况，多的真记不住了。有俩细节，一个他一直说，觉得“小四”长相上更像F22，我似乎感受到了F35遭到了嫌弃；另一个，老总说，下回要把起落架好好改改（看了2.0，恩，老总诚不欺我也）。作战半径我记不太清了，但比我想象的大，因为我潜意识里确实也因为它那俩发动机，而担心这是不是米格29的拉皮版。我忍不住问了当时军迷争议得很多的一个问题，鸭翅膀影不影响隐身，其实后来觉得这问得挺傻的，老总也说得挺谨慎，一句话，各有各的办法。“小四”在设计上对隐身还是很在意的，一个细节大家能看到，在小四的机翼上是看不到襟副翼的作动筒，机翼更加光洁顺溜，可以看出设计者的用心。最后老总说得比较多的，是这个飞机，快，研制周期短，制造周期也短，边设计边制造边迭代的模式，X年走完西方发达国家XX年走完的路。这样的话，好多地方我们都听过，但这时我的自豪感却格外明显，因为在我心里，想起了战斗民族的T50，和恒河畔的光辉。

信手拈来的领先水平，才是真正可怕的领先水平

But to admit, I highly doubt this statement, since we have never seen any no even on the closest close-up images when that bird was in Zhuhai. And IMO simply since there are none !

Agree. The original reporter used "you wish" regarding the side weapon bays.

 

[CHINA83NEWS]

So, this FC-31 will have little chance of actually being accepted by the PLAAF/PLANAF? I'm guessing this FC-31 will become another "MiG-35" until it finds a buyer.

The other one?FC - 31 in the big engine thrust is probably another F35. Radar and telex systems are the latest.

Making the bottom looks dirty.

how about liscense production in Pakistan

A good choice for the engine and JF17 is universal.Like a F16 and F15 collocation.

Bro you think later when WS-13E will mature , will they paint it will silver shiny?

Like j-20.I think I'm sure I will.

It will have to compete with a carrier-borne version of the J-20.

China's domestic development of new models.Means that there is a plane.

Thank you. A nice 7-minute video to recapitulate the development of this jet over years

I heartedly wish this 5th generation stealth fighter jet will eventually go into mass production. It shows the design and technology prowess of the Chinese engineers and industry. Best wishes.
