SAC FC-31 Stealth Fighter: News & Discussions

[S10]

More like a CAD design, not a prototype for real.

It was eliminated at the final proposal stage, where CAC design was chosen as the winner.

Is it a VTOL?

No, conventional takeoff and landing multirole, aimed for exporter and carrier duty.

J-31? Another 'J'!! How many 'J's are you guys gonna produce? J-5 to J-21 so far and now J-31. At the rate with which the Chinese are going, there would probably be J-32 to J-100 before this year is out!!

I wonder whether there would be any real radical changes in concept and design or just different paint jobs on the same platform??

China has every same level weapon to US, China just does not show it like US. if the situation needs that, China will show them step by step.

We don't show it, we use it. Nobody knew about th F117 and B2 for many years. Or the so called Beast of Kandahar or the stealth helo used in Osama's death.

The engine and the fuselage gap is big. Suggest the engine is TVC.. since it needs gap for the nozzle to moves.

Since J-31 has a conventional layout. To achieve better agility. TVC is necessary. I believe it will be domestic WS-13 TVC engines.

I think out Pakistanis friend will be very happy.. J-31 is another tailor for export. This is the reason why JF-17 block 2 is delay and any upgrade seems stop. Becos, if you support J-31. You will soon equip with a 5th operational fighter. PAF will be the top3 airforce in the world. USAF, PLAAF and PAF..

The slow coach Russian and Indian PAF-KA will be heavily delayed, much much slower than J-31.

The time gap of 2015 to 2018 will be the time gap where PAF can easily thrashed IAF with J-31.

One thing I like about China the most is that if it says something, it phucking delivers it on time and shocks the world. In India though small things take decades to fix and make them happen. 1 failure puts India 5 years behind, while China bounces back after a failure like a rockstar. Man I have to say, this nation can do the impossible. It can become the world's strongest nation ever.

No it didn't take India so long to make a freaking cannon lol. The process only started in 2009 and 2012 it was under testing and approved by govt. I believe it will hit mass production soon.

About making planes and sending man to space, we are working on that. The GSLV MK3 has a maximum potential of 20 tonnes to leo orbit. It is right now on the launch pad getting ready for launch in a few months as we speak, if it goes up nicely, manned mission will be approved by govt.

About GPS, Indian IRNSS-1 satellite, which is first of many Indian sats is ready. Even IRNSS-2 and 3 is ready and is scheduled to be launched in March 2013 or earlier.

IRNSS-1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We already completed everything and you are still talking and doing trial test. That's a hell lot different.

Europe space agency already looking forward for manned space mission with China space agency. Becos they can't depend on Russians. USA is out at the moment. Our manned technology is matured and proven.

Whew! China done it once again congratulations to all Chinese members and SAC or whoever designed it.
Indans members needs to show some respect its their 2nd 5th Gen fighter and see where you guys are standing in aviation industry.

Well thats the thing, it doesn't matter who did it first since this is not a race, India might achieve what China achieved 10 yrs later. Usa did moon landing in 1969, so that doesn't mean the china or esa or isro won't do it in 20xx. It's about vision, thankfully both India and China have a vision to develop and compete with west and leave them behind on day.

For example, China got it's GPS in early 2000s, India is now ready to deploy one of its own within 1 year. Development is an ongoing process and Chinese economy is bigger. China became 2 trillion in 2004, While India this year will complete 2 trillion, so we are 8 years behind economically. As long as India keeps moving forward I an happy.
