Lol. Washing deck.

Shandong had been heavily used since its commissioning in Sept 2019 with a lot of cruises, including one to the South China Sea just in May!

Twin engines is required for naval plane. J-31/35 will be Navy funded. PLAAF will take about if they find use for a smaller twin engine as opposed to the heavy ones they operate now with J-16 and J-20. But if the air force wants a single engine to replace the J-10 in the future, it will be a new plane based on the WS-15.

But a single engine aircraft could have served both navy and airforce. Why not optimize solutions to different needs of air force and navy. Soviet union's wasteful spending on defence lead to its demise. Air force needs hi low mix of aircraft. And there are examples of successful single engine naval aircrafts like harrier, a-4 and recently f-35.

PLAN is looking for twin-engine carrier planes. Single-engine for land-based PLAN units (PLAN has J-10s.)

J-31/35 is a navy project for carriers.

Most likely to named J-35 for PLAN carrier fighter and J-21 for PLAAF light stealth fighter (to compliment and later replace J-10 variants.)


China thinks that giving angle to nosecone and fuselage makes 5th generation plane. Nothing is fifth generation in Chinese plane. No engine, no radar, no EW, No weapon. Yet, Chinese plane is fifth generation.

LOL... a notorious we-media account...

Maybe it's a fan art but you will see a single engine stealth fighter coming out from China in the next 5 years, its too good of an opportunity to pass on. A ws15 based se 5th gen fighter in inevitable.

First test flight of J-35 might have just occurred!

One more low quality third generation plane shaped to look like 5th generation plane to fool and milk some failed states like pakistan to satisfy their ego of having fifth generation plane. It is worse than J20 which scored 3.5 kill ratio against poor third generation Chinese plane. F22 have this figure in excess of 100 to 1.

Don't mind, it hasn't served in the army yet.

the funny part is your so called 'viewpoint' were just from chinese members of some forum and social media accounts, including all pix and viewpoint ...nothing more...don't pretend to be know everything without basic language ability and comon sense about Chinese stuff.

again. this is the AVIC's (601+112 team) export project ’FC-31' -the 3rd prototype (PT 31003),not any member of a national project. ..
at this moment, the true prototype of new 'J-XX project' hasn't been revealed yet...it will be a little different ,and again , it will emerges as the 'shipboard fighter'...

'so called recent photo' actually was the one recently revealed not taken... that northern city has fewer Airplane photography enthusiasts with worse shooting conditions and strict info control. we saw it long time ago in a small group but no one 'dare' to reveal it on the internet.

so called PLAAF emblem ? where is it?

pitot tube is a common device on prototypes ,and a temporary device
Export project only? not any more.

the derivant of FC-31 project-- the Next Generation carrier-based Fighter prototype took the maiden flight....here comes the new project: J-35(?).

this is not PT31001 or 31003...lol
