Shenyang FC-31 / J-31 Fighter Demonstrator

IMO simply a warm-up of the "news" posted some long time ago ...

IMO that whole thing is a hoax.

Quite right.You can't get V/STOL or STOVL and a longer range than J-15. And also super cruise and stealth in addition? Not even with US quality engines is this possible. Remember F-35B. Besides what would be the role of any V/STOL or STOVL fighter aircraft in PLANAF or PLAAF service?

Sorry, but isn't this obvious ??? ... this isn't even psed, at best this is "painted" !

As such no offence, but in such cases just a little bit of common sense helps a lot to tell what's real and fake.

Definitely PS-ed, look at the sun glare on that plane and compare it to the outside world background, meaning the sun angle is wrong and where is casting shadow?

I will just do a simple summary for those who does'nt understand chinese.

The news is saying that there's a leakage of a report that china's 1st Vstol aircraft called the "J-18" had just conducted its 1st test flight in Inner Mongolia last month(this news article is dated 25th april 2012). It's been reported that PLAAF was'nt satisfied with J-15's 'too-simple take-off capabilities', short range and limited payload. Therefore a decision had been taken to develop a new 4th generation(5th in western context) fighter aircraft-the J-18.

Specs of the fighter are:

1)supercruise capabilites
2)option to be manned or unmanned
3)stealth
4)internal payload

Found online, Chinese banner read: congratulations on the success of the first flight of bombers 10, true or false? Seeks an appraisal

Seriously? CGIs & paints that were know as such (& shown here as such) years ago? You know there's a 3D models thread somewhere in the picures section?

It's fake!
