Has China LFC 16 fighter been put into production?

LFC- 16 is not an established fighter, but a technical verification machine, and there are many things to be verified.

This fighter has been under research and improvement. With the development of fighter technology and concept at home and abroad, the design of LFC 16 will be improved continuously.

LFC 16 adopts patented technologies such as duck aerodynamic layout and follow-up side fin originally created by China people, as well as a series of novel aerodynamic technologies such as fuselage side plate+duck aerodynamic layout, follow-up side fin and controllable vortex. It can effectively improve the maneuverability and stability of the aircraft, even make it reach the level of propeller aircraft, and the maneuverability will be greatly improved. If it is successfully developed, it may become the first mobile fighter in the world. In addition, the cost of aircraft development comes from private venture capital, which is the first time in the history of fighter development in China. Many rumors predict that the mobility of LFC 16 is the first in the world.

But it seems too early to say that LFC- 16 is not a fighter, because it still has a lot to verify. In addition, aerodynamic shape alone is not enough. Only by using fly-by-wire control system and high thrust-to-weight ratio engine with vector thrust nozzle can it truly become the first in the world.
