It seems many people are not optimistic about the J-31 gaining direct funding from government, at least in the near future. But wouldn't PLAN at least want to see J-31 move ahead so there's the possibility of adapting it for carrier use? I hope PLA would be willing to foot at least half the development cost going forward if a partner can be found.

While it is possible the image is simply an artist's vision of a future variant, it is equally likely (if not a bit more likely?) that rendering is based on actual design schematics of the future variant as such a variant is quite likely to have progressed to paper/computer model stage.

Changed/cropped wingtips and tailtips are an interesting addition. They make the plane look like f-22 even more.

Nine more high-resolution (2000x1200) images. These complete the earlier set of images I posted a few days ago.

We may end up with a real flying display after all if these pictures are any indication, it would be great to see the J-31 "tear it up" and be the star of show!
