STOVL dictated the single engine, and the STOVL solution chosen for the F-35 demands a big vertical bay behind the cockpit, and a main engine located unusually far forward, to keep the driveshaft length within reason and to put the

STOVL采用了单发方案,使得球电的座舱后面安置了一个巨大的垂直的升力风扇舱室,发动机也突破常规地安置在更靠前的位置,好将传动轴的长度限制在合理范围内并与垂直喷嘴保持平衡。

5 K5 W.

Direct head-on shot? Check.Commercially available aircraft tug? Check. Extreme telephoto, so that perspective effects are lost in the noise? Check.

The J-31's wingspan is an F-35-like 37.5 feet, unless my Soviet-watching skills have deserted me. This makes it smaller than the F-22 and considerably smaller than the Chengdu J-20. A good early guess is that the engines are Klimov RD-93s - imported in large numbers for the JF-17 - with a Chinese-built engine to follow./ n1 X% Y, N' B& [, {& m, f8 h
J-31跟球电相仿的翼展约为37.5英尺,除非我警惕的无产阶级火眼金睛把我欺骗了。这使得该机小于F-22,更远小于成飞J-20,初步稳妥地猜测,发动机是克里莫夫RD93S,之前有为JF-17大量进口过,接下来会代之以土鳖国产发动机。5 ?. p$ U- Y6 L5 X

Turning to the side view of the jet, it looks as if the engines are installed to the rear of the bulkhead that carries the main landing gears. And with no lift fan bay to worry about, the designers have been able to install long weapon bays on the centerline: what will be interesting is how the inlet ducts are routed to optimize internal space.
. {: V0 g3 W! @! ~ c: W) |转到侧面去看这架战机,发动机似乎是装置于起落架舱室的后部,而且没有令人头疼的升力风扇,设计者们便可在机体中央安置更长的武器弹仓:而进气道该选择何种路径以便优化内部空间,就会很有趣了。! S/ o `, y5 c

Overall, the most important point is that the J-31 does not look like a competitor for the J-20 - but as a complement to it. Which, again, might point to the new fighter being a JSF to the J-20's F-22.
! Z8 w: x; |; w( m3 ^总而言之,最重要的一点是J-31看起来并非是J-20的挑战者,更像是一个它的后援。这一点更说明这个新机型之于J-20,正如JSF之于F-22一样。% @% b* m3 w9 g& O
