The clear image of FC-31 shows that Chinese stealth fighters have a cockpit design with disadvantages like the US F-35B model.

High definition images shared on Twitter on July 22 showed the prototype of the FC-31 stealth fighter with the number 350003 of China.

The prototype FC-31 number 350003 in the photo published on July 22.

The photo shows the FC-31 fighter cockpit open forward and has a hard barrier behind the pilot seat, similar to the design on the US F-35B model.

Lockheed Martin Group has to choose this device to make room for the cockpit after the cockpit and many separate parts on the F-35B variant.

Trevithick expressed concerns about the reason why the Chinese manufacturer chose the design plan with so many disadvantages, while the FC-31 did not have a short runway version and landed vertically like the F-35B.

FC-31 fighter cockpit glasses open forward and have a hard back.

Some Western experts believe that the FC-31 pilot driver's seat may be an additional fuel compartment, helping to increase the flight range for the plane.

Maximizing the amount of oil carried is the absolute priority for the fighter to offer offshore missions and cannot return to the reserve airport in the mainland.

Photos also show that FC-31 is fitted with two engines with serrated exhaust doors.

The compartment door replaced the nose with serrated borders, while the main compartment door was trapezoid, in order to reduce radar reflexes on the fuselage body.

This is the first clear photo of China's stealth fighter line.

The Chinese Defense Ministry has not commented on information.

China Central Television CCTV in June said that the FC-31 prototype with the WS-21 engine will be launched at the Chu Hai Air Exhibition held in November this year.

FC-31 is a fifth-generation stealth fighter project developed by Tham Duong aircraft group, not using military capital.

The shye-shaped prototype started appearing since 2021, seemingly using the body of the second FC-31.

The Chinese Navy is in need of a new versatile fighter, because the J-15 series has problems because of an unstable flight control system and two deadly accidents related to this error.

China is said to have stopped the J-15 production line after shipping 24 units in 2017. However, some sources in 2020 said that a new J-15 batch began to be manufactured to meet the needs.

The FC-31 tested for the first time with some improvements to become the main stealth fighter on China's aircraft carrier.

Fujian aircraft carrier of China has not been installed radar and weapons, the finishing process can take more years.
