Video of China’s Stealthy J-31 aircraft’s (quite smoky) flight display practice at Zhuhai airshow

The Shenyang J-31 “Falcon Eagle” to debut at Zhuhai airshow, China’s biggest commercial and defense air show, near Hong Kong.
The first prototype of Shenyang J-31 Falcon Eagle, China’s second stealth fighter jet, is going to be one of the highlights of China’s most important commercial and defense airshow held next week at Zhuhai, in the southern province of Guangdong, not far from Hong Kong.
The new aircraft, that performed its maiden flight on Oct 31, 2012, which is smaller than the J-20, from which it differs for the grey paint job and the presence of a colored emblem on the tails (in place of the typical red star) with the text 鹘鹰, Chinese for “Falcon Eagle”, embeds several features of the F-22 Raptor, and the F-35 Lightning II, respectively the current and future most advanced multi-role jets in the U.S. Air Force inventory: along with the distinctive lines of the Lockheed Martin’s stealth designs, the Chinese jet has a nose section which reminds that of the Joint Strike Fighter, same twin tails and trapezoidal wings.
Still, unlike the F-35, it is equipped with two engines (like the F-22, even though without Thrust Vectoring capability, at least, not yet).
The following footage shows the video of the J-31 practicing its demo flight at Zhuhai on Nov. 6. Pretty simple stuff (but let’s not forget it is just a prototype at its first public appearance). Noteworthy, the engines that currently equip the aircraft are a bit smoky: the Chinese jet may evade radars and one day equal F-22 and F-35s but for the moment they can be spotted from far away because of its engines pluming black smoke.

My favorite weapons so far:
1. CX-1 (Chinese P-800 Oniks/Brahmos)
2. Red Arrow 12 (Chinese Javelin)
3. J-31 production version model with EOTS and domestic engines with serrated nozzles.

Deadly weapons indeed. I'm assuming the J-31 has a DAS since it has EOTS. Is that correct?My favorite weapons so far:

looks like C-130
It shall be new class of medium transport plane close to A400M. If not, I dont see the point of getting a Y-9 class of similar transport plane.

look the landing gear so small compare to A400M （3x2 tyre configuration) , and tyre is 2 wheel each side, look like completely same with C-130 tyre setting, also from picture propellers so small compare to A400M, i can say it is a new generation wide body version Y8/Y9 class. max not more than 24 Tons.
It was also Muslims who worked against other muslims.. Muslims are the worst scum against themselves.. nobody else has to make an effort. In either case, you and I will NEVER agree. Lets focus on the topic instead of me trying to bang my head against a wall.
You are absolutely right on this, as i said muslim/islamists extremists/radicals are a danger to everybody who doesnt abide by their rules(even their fellow moderate muslim brothers). As far as you dont agree with their religious views/perspective then you will be consider an ennemy/infidel and all the other names they like labelling others who dont abide by their rule/view of islam. Unfortunately, other moderate muslims dont speak out enough against these scums, since despite this, they still consider them their fellow 'mulsim brothers', reason they just keep quiete/silent and try as much as possible to just ignore them, but doing so is not the solution, since these scums not only segeragates societies, but also give a bad name to all muslims world wide. Since people will think keeping silent/ignoring them is tatantamount to sympathasing with them inderectly.
Anyway, i do admire your courage/honesty of speaking out against these radicals/extremists, not many muslim people i know will do this, not even many muslim members on here, who always scream that we, the U.S, China, Russia oppress these muslims radicals, reason they behave that way.Not knowiing that these scums dont give a shit about where you come from or your religion, ethnic origin nor if the country is a democracy or dictatorship,communist or authoritarian etc, They will still act the same way, its either their way or your head.
Kudos for your honesty bro. Not many people/pakistanis members on here will say what you said(even when they know its the case)..
By the way how do they give positive rating on here? cant seem to find the link to it.
Lets focus on the topic, discussions on the future course for Muslims in the UK and measures UK society can take to reduce extremism can be done elsewhere.
