Photographs have begun to appear on the internet showing the first flight of the second prototype Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC)/Shenyang FC-31 ‘Falcon Eagle’ fifth-generation fighter.

Compared to the initial prototype, the second FC-31 — sometimes known as the FC-31V2 — features extensive revisions, apparently including a revised, F-22-style forward fuselage including single-piece cockpit canopy, and re-profiled tailfins.
