--FILE--A Chinese J-31 stealth fighter jet taxis before taking off for a demonstration flight during the 10th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, also known as Airshow China 2014, in Zhuhai city, south China's Guangdong province, 11 November 2014. China has tested the latest version of its fifth-generation stealth fighter, state media reported on Monday (26 December 2016), as it tries to end the West's monopoly on the world's most advanced warplanes. The test comes as the nation flexes its military muscles, sending its sole aircraft carrier the Liaoning into the western Pacific in recent days to lead drills there for the first time. The newest version of the J-31, now renamed the FC-31 Gyrfalcon, took to the air for the first time on Friday, the China Daily reported. The so-called "fifth-generation" twin engine jet is China's answer to the US F-35, the world's most technically advanced fighter. The new FC-31 has "better stealth capabilities, improved electronic equipment and a larger payload capacity" than the previous version which debuted in October 2012, the newspaper said, quoting aviation expert Wu Peixin.
