Yes for sure ... but I won't complain if the real one would look exactly like this.

And it could be the J-20.

...
And the winner is...the J-20, according to the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post.

PLA never spend a single cent on J-31. The one who fork out all the money on the project itself is Shenyang aviation corporation.I highly doubt that the PLA would just drop the J-31 after all the money & time spent on it , not only the PLAN needs it but also the PLAAF needs a light 5th gen fighter , the J-31 will most likely be cheaper than the J-20 so it will be perfect to complement the number of 5th gen fighters in the PLAAF , also the price of America's F-35 was said to have dropped to 80$ million! If true then that is quite impressive , this would allow the US to reach their goal of having 2000 5th gen fighters very easly , if there are any flaws with the J-31 then the PLA could always just spend few billions of dollarsto further develop it & correct any flaws.
In the future if the PLA where to have a 5th gen air force equal to at the very least 60% that of the US then they will need a light 5th gen fighter, though personally I believe that China aims to have absolute parity ( both quality wise & quantity wise) with the USAF after may be 30-35 years from now , by that time (ie: 2050-2055) the Chinese economy will most likely be much bigger than that of the US making quite easy for the PLAAF to afford an airforce like that.
Its a good thing that PAF didnot select or join the F-35 project. It is essentially a dead project with no future in China at all. It would be best to see if TF-X can meet the needs of the PAF. If TFX can overcome its technical issues, then it has both potential and also a future as Turkey will purchase the aircraft.

simple, no PLA marking in J-31 body means project still not fund by PLAF or PLAN.But is this confirmed? I thought there were at least a few reports even from very respected "big shrimps" who noted, that the PLA entered the program with founds.
TFX long way to go it will reach production status after 2030 if not delayed and there are rumors that Turkey is showing interests in Su-57 and skip the TF-X project all along @Ali_BabaIts a good thing that PAF didnot select or join the F-35 project.

I'm sorry, but you're trying to spread false information. I don't want to dissipate topic because moderator Deino says he won't let us. If you come to the relevant topics, you can learn more about TFX' doctrine. Thanks.Su-57 seem not conflict with TFX project which Su-57 is heavy fighter, TFX only light/Medium fighter. unless Turkey just need 1 type 5 Gen fighter.
