SAC - FC-31 Grey Falcon Stealth aircraft for PAF : Updates & Debate

http://www.janes.com/article/65359/new

features side-stick controls, a single reconfigurable large multifunction display (MFD), a wide head-up display (HUD) and a new helmet-mounted display similar to the Striker system produced by BAE Systems for use in the Eurofighter Typhoon.
 
.
The FC-31 may also use the Nanjing Research Institute of Electronics Technology (NRIET) KLJ-7A active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, also displayed for the first time at Airshow China, which is claimed to have a performance similar the Northrop Grumman AN/APG-81 AESA radar of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.

If we are interested in this bird. Then most probably KLJ 7A will be selected for JF17 block 3.

And that would be the most logical move.

For link please refer to khanasifm's above post.

An Chinese military insider had disclosed today that FC31 had been chosen as new generation of carrier fighter. It means China and Pakistan will both induct FC31. Finally!
so the FC31 wasn't really dead as it was lead to believe or lost interest to J20.

FC-31 is more affordable bird , easy to operate , cost less and other advantages ,, China know that , that's Why they bring this bird this far , If they don't want it they might have killed the programme long ago, And no one will invest in a bird Just for International Market in current Geo Inv.........
China wont allow her enemies to find out about Her latest tech etc..............
I only want As much possible ToT on this bird and Cooperation with China for our own next Gen Bird.

sir currently J-20 not for export, it has a export bar by Chinese just like US F-22, the only option left for PAF is J-31
What i meant to say is J20 was going to be the frontline fighter for China. FC31 was facing a uncertain future as reports were indicating because it lost interest from the forces. But as it becomes the preferred carrier fighter the program is going to be receiving funding and the program will get the necessary tech developed as needed.

It had started to bring in J20 technology. So the only customer for FC31 will be Pakistan as China have to prevent core information leakage.

All proves lead to FC31 induction by Chinese navy, and some insider also insinuate it. Timeline before year 2020.

Only Pakistan is worth of trusted when it comes to export of top line fighter like J31. If it goes to KSA, it must be a water down version. I can't expect Fc31's export to a third country in the near future, Pakistan comes first.

:cheers:Also can't exclude PLAAF inducting FC31V2(like F35A), and V3(as photo leakage) for new carrier(like F35C). 90% of the components are interchangeable, means economy of scale. These days we have great news each day! Hah hah

I need to admit the stealthy feature of FC31 or RCS is even better than J20 by adopting a conventional fuselage setup(no canards).

I think Pakistan needs to invest in it along with KSA ...

Only if the pilots in KSA are Pakistani and the Chinese are allowed to build a military base in KSA to guarantee the enemy won't steal these awesome birds and reverse engineer them.

The pt-3 will b a new prototype or the one that flew last December?

It will be a mystery. :enjoy:

I have a question?
Where is the STEALTH of this Aircraft, when one can even saw them with a naked eyes?

Waiting for a decent answer.
Thanks in advance
You do realize the J-31 can be flown at night right? :big_boss:

This thread will probably go on for another decade, it'll be a lolz moment when the jet still isn't bought by then.

Hehe don't jinx us we want the J-31 ASAP!! :hitwall:
