Why it doesn’t have all moving tail…smh

I believe you are asking "all moving vertical stabilizer" because FC-31's horizontal stabilizer is all moving.

My guess is that to ensure stability at low speed during landing on an aircraft carrier, it needs a larger tail, or at least larger than J-20. If the tail has to be large, it is pointless to make it all-moving.

No, it has nothing to do with low speed or landing on CV. J-20 designer 宋文骢 has explained why J-20 choose the full moving vertical stabilizer in his paper 一种小展弦比高升力飞机的气动布局研究.

The logic goes like this.

J-20 uses leading edge + canard to increase lift => high pressure between vertical control surface and aft fuselage => demand smaller vertical control surface. However a reduced vertical stabilizer + rudder design will reduce control efficiency. So the choice is all moving rudder to maintain its efficiency while reducing size.

The study that leads to above conclusion was based on comparison between an ideal tailless design base and J-20 at Mach 0.2 and AOA 24 degrees. You can see that this is a very low speed.

FC-31 on the other hand does not use complicated canard and leading edge vortex, therefor it choose stabilizer + rudder design which is easier in flight control design.

J-35 made multiple flight test today, waiting for further confirmation.

When J-10 first flew, J-5 was the chase plane.

When J-20 first flew, J-10S was the chase plane.

Now J-16 is the chase plane.

I look forward to the day when J-20S will serve as a chase plane.

How in the world are you able to figure that out from a traditional Chinese poem is beyond me...

Not a real traditional Chinese poem, just an recent imitation

I wonder where this is… iirc SAC has always used a J-11BS as a chase plane, I don’t know if this is some other airfield of if they have simply gotten another chase plane

edit: checked the original post, the poster’s ip is in Shenyang so apparently this is indeed SAC

Can you link the original post?

The plane looks like ready.
