But then it would simply be a fighter in the same league of the J-20 ... and that does not make sense !

Exactly, I assume AVIC wants FC31 to be size of F35 but more focused on A2A rather than ground strike!

It was a hypothetical engineering question rather than anything apparent, that's all.

Have you seen my post (#3483) just one page back?

The J-31 is now a zombie project. There is no life but its not quite dead and buried.

Better than Stealth J-20 from China in my tasty.

The J-31 seems to be so stealthy that it has disappeared from all radar screens even from those of the SDF. Does anyone know what is happening to the J-31 ? Any updates ? It was last seen in public at the Zhuhai Air Show last november. And then nothing.

I'd think that the low profile suggests low priority. Shenyang has its hands full. What with the J-11d, J-15, J-16, all with proven systems and definite demand, still being in various states of development, J-31 is probably back-burner 'til development on these is finished and production is in full-swing.
imho.

Sino...in the future confirm your sources as something at least plausible before spreading such rumors here on SD.

Have a link to a credible source...not just what someone rumored on another Forum.

SD does not want to become a rumor mill site.

DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS MODERATION.
