A schematic drawing of an AMF concept jet fighter appeared on the display boards of AVIC. The sketch is quite similar to J-31, the forth generation jet fighter developed by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation. The AMF concept jet fighter is the blueprint of China's fifth generation stealth fighter. This is the first time an AMF appears on international airshow. The AVIC stuff told reporters: "According to Aviation Industry Corporation of China, all the exhibits on display can be exported."
