China Sets up Office to Push Exports of FC-31 Stealth Fighter
China’s Shenyang Aircraft Company (SAC)has offered to set up assembly lines abroad to find export markets for its FC-31 stealth fighter.
In order to gear up export of its stealth jet, China has established an office dedicated to promoting the country’s FC-31 stealth fighter, according to Zhan Qiang, Deputy General Manager of SAC, a subsidiary of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China.
The move to export the FC-31 is aimed squarely at the F-35 by offering a cut-price stealth fighter jet.
Zhan has put together resources from SAC and the China National Aero-Technology Import and Export Corporation to establish an office to promote exports of the FC-31 under a development tactic of “self-oriented active promoting” aimed to cultivate targeted users, according to a report in Chinese publication, Gobal times.
Compared to the United States’ F-35 China’s FC-31 has its own advantages including advanced technology, acceptable pricing, the lack of political restrictions and complete service, the report said.
