Bagu document honoring Wang Xiangming.

CSAA is about as official as you can get @Deino @Bltizo.

Are we sure that the document is written by staff that is technical and not by someone who just got designations from baidu though?

Not that it is impossible for it to be named J-31, but this reads a bit too "PR-y" for me.

Key takeaways:

1) Looks like FC-31 is officially J-31 now. That means PLAAF should be interested, otherwise it wouldn't receive an official designation.
2) Carrier fighter uses a different designation (J-35???). It is not revealed here, so it is still J-XX.
3) Both aircraft utilize laser 3D printed structural components that enhance structural strength and reduce weight.

Does that mean they are not following the J-10/J-11 naming convention or does the PLAAF consider the FC-31/J-31 a next gen compared to the J-20?

If they are following bandy why call the naval fighter J-XX instead of J-35? The details are all very technical.

So there is the J-31, J-35 and J-21.

Or the J-21 ( One reserved for the PLAAF) is re-rebranded as J-31.
And the Naval version be J-35.

Pretty sure that this hasn’t been implemented on the J-15 yet. His contribution also explicitly mentions horizontal stabilizers, which are not used on the J-20.

The way I read it, there's a possibility that the parts are meant to be separated by semicolon.

In which case the part about "J-31" and "J-XX" is only here:
"建立新机快速试制新模式，在歼-31、歼-XX等研制中发挥了核心支撑作用"

Rapid trial production could have usefulness for FC-31 (J-XY as well), and other upcoming fighter projects...
