He doesn't deserve to be an author of Popular Mechanic magazine, shameful and embarrassing. I was considering to make a comment and pointing to this forum related to the photos ... but I decided no bother

According to rumors, the 2016 schedule for SAC includes:
- maiden flights of 3 new types of aircraft
- detailed design of one new type of aircraft
- certification of 4 new types of aircraft
My personal guess:
- maiden flights: FC-31 v2.0, J-15B/EW, Sharp Sword v 2.0
- detailed design: H-18
- certification: J-16, J-16D, J-15S, Divine Eagle UAV
- maiden flights of 3 new types of aircraft
- detailed design of one new type of aircraft
- certification of 4 new types of aircraft
My personal guess:
- maiden flights: FC-31 v2.0, J-15B/EW, Sharp Sword v 2.0
- detailed design: H-18
- certification: J-16, J-16D, J-15S, Divine Eagle UAV

I had a similar proposal ... however I think esp. the Divine Eagle UAV can't be certified in 2016, ... it has not even flown yet. However Sharp Sword might be another option.
As such my personal guess:
- maiden flights: J-15B/EW, Sharp Sword v 2.0, Divine Eagle UAV
- detailed design: FC-31 v2.0 (I hope at least for a roll out) or H-18 ("something secret")
- certification: J-16, J-16D, J-15S, maybe J-11D
And what else can we expect for 2016 ?

Divine Eagle UAV maiden flights and certification in the same year?
Simply a mistake ... I do not know why I added it below esp. since I mentioned in the text that this is impossible. Sorry.
