The J-31 appears to be more mobile than the J-20, with its landing gear
suggesting it is designed to be launched from an aircraft carrier, military
expert Andrei Chang told AFP.
He said the J-31 appeared similar to the latest "fifth" generation of US-
designed stealth fighters, but with a less powerful engine and a lower
proportion of sophisticated radar-blocking composite materials.
"In terms of design it appears the J-31 is inferior to the latest US planes,
" said Chang, head of the Kanwa Information Centre which monitors China's
military.
"The layout is similar, but the material and quality are inferior."
A long testing process means the aircraft is unlikely to be put into action
for nearly a decade.
"It will take at least seven or eight years before it can be commercially
sold," Chang said, adding that the test flight was timed to coincide with
the run-up to China's once-in-a-decade leadership transition next month.
"I think the regime is trying to to show off to their colleagues that the Hu
Jintao regime achieved a lot for China," he said, adding that the J-31's
manufacturers hoped to export the plane to Chinese allies such as Pakistan. | t*****9 发帖数: 10416 | 2 Chang 对天朝强大的山寨生产能力 缺乏认识呀 ~~~~~~~lol
