ighterCredit To deino dr DCF kita bakal ngeliat j-20/j-31 VSTOL

To admit this news first posted by "kickars" at the SDF reported about a new development contract awarded for a future V/STOL-fighter ...
Quote The picture used is only an unofficial rendering which may or may not has anything to do with the end result. The article is simply saying the development contract has been signed on 20/03/2015. It was signed by AVIC's Chengdu division. So looks like the project will be based in Chengdu. For the moment the contract is about the lift fan. We should hear more in the coming days or weeks I would guess. And the article also mentions the jet will be used by the navy/marine, which I think is just a guess from the writer. http://mil.news.sina.com.cn/2015-03-...720825565.html

Later this was added: Quote According to the official website of the Group AVIC, the development of the engine for the project of a VTOL aircraft has begun. The article says that the project aims to increase the capacity of Naval Amphibious combat. http://www.avic.com.cn/cn/sjkb/402462.shtml

To admit first of all it sounds quite interesting, but how reliable is this ??? Not that I generally mistrust "mil.news.sina.com.cn" and especially not AVIC itself, but it surprises me ... anyway if true I think the most likely option is indeed a research project similar to the J-31/FC-1 right now, that could later eventually led to a serial type. Overall a step I highly recommend since China so far is not really famous for its research and experimental types to explore new technologies. Deino ]
