Shenyang FC-31 (J-31 or J-35)

The Shenyang FC-31, also known as the J-31 or J-35 [8] is a twin-engine, mid-size fifth-generation jet fighter currently under development by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation. The official nickname published by SAC is "Gyrfalcon" (Chinese: 鹘鹰[9]), although it has also been referred to as the "F-60" or "J-21 Snowy Owl" (Simplified Chinese: 雪鸮) in some media reports,or "Falcon Hawk" by some military enthusiasts.J-xx nomenclatures in the Chinese military are reserved for programs launched and financed by the People's Liberation Army, while this plane was developed independently by a state-owned company.

Stealth The J-31 is speculated to use stealth coatings instead of "baked in" fiber-mat stealth.[56] Officials from AVIC claim the aircraft to be stealthy against L-band and Ku-band radars, and would be low-observable against a number of multi-spectrum sensors.[32] The engine nozzles are apparently being redesigned to reduce radar and infrared signatures
