Pardon to say so, but there as been a lot of rubbish been said including that the J-20 will be exported (what will never happen) and that the FC-31 is BS (which no-one of the usual suspects can know!).

All opinion, guesswork, and hyping the J-20 and bashing the FC-31 without knowing anything.

"They" as in a joint SAC-CAC team? Because if the FC-31 doesn't get accepted by the PLAN, it is as good as cancelled.

things arent as simple as most of you thought```FC-31 isnt some Japanese or S.Korean mock-ups```few dozens of patents they have gained by just "making it" for start`````and thousands of hours initial researches and wind-turnnel tests were made before they putting any parts together````

As I have said, a downgraded, export version of J-20, with WS-10X engines, is a far better option, for Pakistan.

your delusion will never come to realization, I can assure that

Why are ppl talking about FC-31 here? Isn't this a J-20 thread ...

 

[Deino]

So, how credible is this "hybrid plane" rumor? Is it a joint venture between the J-20 and FC-31 design teams?

I think it surely is not a hybrid plane in the same way such proposed Frankenstein-engines are impossible.

But what about a joint development of a navalised J-20 and transferring production of this variant to SAC?

Sounds extremely dubious ... especially the rivalry and distrust between CAC and SAC

but at the end of the day they are all belong to one big company

BEIJING, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- China's latest J-20 stealth fighter has been officially commissioned into military service, according to Wu Qian, spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense on Thursday.

The flight tests are being conducted as scheduled, Wu said at a press conference.

The J-20 is China's fourth-generation medium and long-range fighter jet. It made its maiden flight in 2011 and was first shown to the public at the 11th Airshow China in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, in November last year.
