(Worthy News) – A Chinese aviation company has apparently been test flying its new stealth fighter jet that aims to match America’s F-35s, and which could be a candidate for its next generation of ship-borne warplanes.
The latest prototype of the fifth-generation FC-31 Gyrfalcon may have undergone a number of modifications, according to a witness photograph circulating on social media network Weibo that appears to show the aircraft on a recent flight but could not be verified.
The stealth fighter is pictured using its fuel-guzzling afterburners as it gains altitude, with the logo of state-owned developer the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) clearly visible on the jet’s tail. [ Source: South China Morning Post (Read More…) ]
