China tested second stealth fighter

China successfully tested its second stealth fighter with experts calling it a milestone for its military aviation industry, state-run Global Times reported.

The report, quoting a witness, said after a 11-minute flight Wednesday, the fighter designated J-31 landed on a runway of the Shenyang Aircraft Corp. in northeast Liaoning Province, the UPI com reports.

"The J-31 is almost certainly designed with the intention to have the potential of operating on aircraft carriers, judging from its enhanced double-wheel nose landing gear and two big tail wings, which help increase vertical stability," Bai Wei, former deputy editor of the Aviation World weekly, told the Global Times.
