New fighter jet poised to reach the export market

China's leading aircraft manufacturer is on the verge of exporting its fifth-generation fighter jet, according to industry sources.

Aviation Industry Corp of China disclosed the technical specifications of the J-31 Gyrfalcon at an aviation expo even though the plane was still being tested, the sources said.

During the four-day Aviation Expo China 2015, a biennial event held in Beijing in mid-September, AVIC also displayed a large-scale model of the J-31.
