I haven't posted anything substantial in a while. Let's indulge a bit:

She's a good looking bird indeed. What the JSF could have been if not for the albatross known as the B version.

I'm not certain the pic where she is nearly inverted is real, tell my why I'm wrong or right, ????
oh and pardon my lack of manners---- thank you for posting and yes she is quite lovely!

The J31 has quite substantial fairings at its wing and tail root. Apart from housing the actuators for both, and possibly a bit of the MLG, I wonder if they ever thought about using them to store a couple of SRAAMs PAKFA style.

J-31 will have demonstration flights next month in Zhuhai Air Show. Also, the US Airforce will send a C-17 cargo plane to the air show.

At least according to the SZTV anchorwoman in the video posted by A.Man, she confirmed Su-35 and J-31 will both do some flight demonstrations in next month's Zhuhai Air Show.

She saids lots of anticipations and interests from people speculating if Y-20 will be there or not, but didn't confirm one way or another if it will be there or not. No mention of J-20 going at all.

She also mentioned about the recent Russian newspaper article citing Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin that China will purchase 24 Su-35 from Russia.( Just like your posted in the Su-35 thread.) And there will be over 130 aircrafts there during the airshow.

Seriously!!! Wow just wow imagine a C-17 Globemaster alongside a Y-20!!

Recent flights of J-31 could be associated with the up coming display very good news

To admit the only detail I really don't like is the nose of the prototype (too much YF-22-alike) ... but a nose like this
