[Han Patriot]

If these engine are still some Russian stuff, SAC can just explode themself.

I am pretty sure it's a new engine, freaking RDs were famous for being smoky.

WS13A or WS13E? Specification available?

WS13A or WS13E? Specification available?

For WS-13E:

9,000 kg of thrust with 8:8 T/W ratio - in the same class as M88-2/EJ-2000.

This engine will allow J-31 limited supercruise/ supersonic maneuverability.

The finally target is wet thrust >98KN, T/W ratio 10.

I think we should mature jf17 program first.....fc31 also is long way away......pakistan can induct these in 2024.....so pakistan in the mean time should concentrate on JF 17....

Impossible. The final version of the aircraft hasn't even come out yet.

Reference to ur little wet dream quotation, ayub succesfully defended pakkstan against a ten times larger enemy, zia saved pakistan from an inpending russian invasion that was after balochistan and moreover his defeat of russia in afghansitan led to the demise of a super power and musharaf saved pakistan from nato by playing zia's game over and defeating nato in afghanistan which led to the world becoming three polar, so grow up twat al three generals u mentioned were the most brilliant generals of thier day and age eclipsing everyobe else beyond borders specially hammed gul and zia..

Russian RD-33K is smokeless.

No offense, but you can visibly see the smoke from the MiG-29s when the Russian Knights perform.

Photo below is from Zhuhai 2016. Smoke is still there.

Why the engine nozzle is so black compared with the silver nozzle on the V2 model showed in Zhuhai

why cause so many unnecessary confusion?

• China tests new fighter jet, its answer to US F-35s

BEIJING: China has tested the latest version of its fifth-generation stealth fighter, state media reported Monday, as it tries to end the West's monopoly on the world's most advanced warplanes.

The test comes as the nation flexes its military muscles, sending its sole aircraft carrier the Liaoning into the western Pacific in recent days to lead drills there for the first time.

The newest version of the J-31 -- now renamed the FC-31 Gyrfalcon -- took to the air for the first time Friday, the China Daily reported.

The so-called "fifth-generation" twin-engine jet is China's answer to the US F-35, the world's most technically advanced fighter.

The new FC-31 has "better stealth capabilities, improved electronic equipment and a larger payload capacity" than the previous version which debuted in October 2012, the newspaper said, quoting aviation expert Wu Peixin.

"Changes were made to the airframe, wings and vertical tails which make it leaner, lighter and more manoeuvrable," Wu told the paper.

The jet is manufactured by Shenyang Aircraft Corp., a subsidiary of the Aviation Industry Corp of China (AVIC).

The fighter is expected to sell for around $70 million, the article said, aiming to take market share away from more expensive fourth-generation fighters like the Eurofighter Typhoon.

AVIC has said that the FC-31 will "put an end to some nations' monopolies on the fifth-generation fighter jet", the China Daily reported.

China is aggressively moving to develop its domestic weapons industry, from drones and anti-aircraft systems to homegrown jet engines.

In the past it has been accused of copying designs from Russian fighters, and some analysts say the FC-31 bears a close resemblance to the F-35.

When completed the FC-31 will become the country's second fifth-generation fighter after the J-20, which put on its first public performance at the Zhuhai Air Show in November.

Hmm... no EOTS? Did anybody see an EOTS on the new prototype?

 

[Deino]

To admit, besides the fact alone, that V2 finally appeared and the fun of guessing what's next I'm most of al interested, how the flight testing proceeds. When will it fly again, will we see some more and better images shown more details ... ???
