Chengdu J-10 Multirole Fighter Air Craft News & Discussions

[silent hawk]

FC-20 will though be capable of MRMs but will be used as air superiority rather than true MRCA. So we will have MR Fleet (JFTs and Falcons) and Air domninence Fleet (FC-20)

From what I hear the breakdown shall be in the Hi tech and medium tech fighters. FC-20 and F-16 shall make about 150 Hi tech fighters pitted against 400 odd Hitech SU-30, Mig29 and Mirage2000. Similarly there shall be about 250 JF-17s against 500 odd Indian Medium and low tech aircrafts. The defensive balance shall hence remain.

jf17 blk1,2,3--- would take care of most of iaf fighters other than su30

for su30, we will have a combo of medium weight mrca f16/fc20

paf pilots have flown 'in'' , 'against' and 'with' most of modern western fighters

Input from paf viper pilots and chinese flanker pilots --

Experience of manufacturing j10a /jf17 /j11b

4years to upgrade an already operational fighter means some serious modifications

We might just get a very lethal fighter j10b ''devastator''

delivery is 'planned' on or around 2014, if all PAF requirements are catered for - the issue is the powe-plant - russia has as yet not given 'ok' to use their engine, so a chinese engine wld be fitted on the FC-20. anyway still too early to predict what will happen.

Sensible answer.

ive made it right now, so audioswap wont be active on all pixel qualities yet--

plz do switch between the qualities, till you get sound-- i like the song!


Eurofighter Typhoon vs J-10B Comparison

 

[abaseen99]

J-10B Vigorous Dragon
The 01/1031 prototype of the new J-10B was unveiled in March 2009, 3 months after its maiden flight in December 2008. This much improved variant features a DSI/bump engine inlet which not only cuts weight but also reduces RCS, after a similar design was first tested onboard FC-1/JF-17. The aircraft also features a J-11B style IRST/LR and a wide-angle holographic HUD. IRST enables passive detection of enemy aircraft, making J-10B more stealthy in combat. Its nose appears flatter too, similar to that of American F-16, and fire-control radar is thought to be an X-band AESA developed by the 607 Institute, the first of such type ever being developed for a Chinese fighter aircraft, giving J-10B a stronger multi-target engagement and ECCM capability. Two large ECM pods are attached under the wings. The tip of vertical tailfin was redesigned as well, featuring a large fairing containing communication and ECM antennas, which resembles that of French Mirage 2000. A rear facing MAWS sensor can be seen underneath the parachute boom. A similar system was tested onboard FC-1/JF-17. RAM coating is also expected in certain areas such as engine inlet and wing leading edges to reduce RCS. The aircraft may be fitted with CFTs in the future to further extend its range. All these improvements suggest that J-10B is equipped with a new generation of integrated electronic system, ranging from radar to EW system. Its mission may be changed from air-superiority to multi-purpose, such as AG or EW. In addition, the aircarft is expected to be powered eventually by an indigenous WS-10A turbofan. Overall J-10B is thought to be comparable to American F-16E/Block 60. The 03 prototype first flew in August 2009, with the pitot tube rumoved from the nose tip. It is possible that J-10B may serve only as a testbed for various advanced technologies adopted by the 4th generation .

J-10B
The J-10B is a modified variant of the J-10 multirole fighter aircraft, with modifications in airframe and avionics. Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (CAC) of AVIC began to develop a follow-on variant of its J-10 fighter around 2004/05. A J-10B prototype reportedly made its maiden flight in December 2008.

Photos of the aircraft began to emerge on the Chinese Internet in March 2009. Once commissioned, the J-10B is likely going to become the standard for later J-10 productions.
Rampless Inlet

The J-10B features a chin-mounted diffuser supersonic inlet (DSI) air inlet. The traditional rectangle-shape air inlet on the J-10 requires a large moveable inlet ramp to generate a rearward leaning oblique shock wave to aid the inlet compression process. The ramp sits at an acute angle to deflect the intake air stream from the longitudinal direction. The air inlets comprises many moving parts, which increases the aircraft’s weight and radar reflections.The newly designed rampless inlet, first tested on the FC-1/JF-17 fighter design by Chengdu, employs a one-piece bump at the top of the inlet replacing the movable ramp. This eliminates all moving parts on the inlet, lightening the overall weight and reducing the aircraft’s radar signature.

Electro-Optic Targeting System
The J-10B has been added with an electronic-optic targeting system (EOTS) commonly found on all fourth-generation Russian fighter aircraft such as Su-27 and MiG-29. Placed forward of the cockpit canopy to the right, the system comprises an infrared search and track (IRST) sensor and a laser rangefinder, which can detect enemy targets passively without requiring to turn on the fire-control radar, thus reducing the chance of the aircraft being detected. The EOTS of the J-10B is likely based on a Russian design.
Tailfin ECM Pod
The upper edge of J-10B’s tailfin is curved, in contrast to the straight-edged tailfin of the J-10. A large fairing is added to the tip of the tailfin to accommodate electronic warfare and countermeasures (EW/ECM) equipment.

ECM Antenna Array
The J-10B has four black antenna arrays attached externally to the fuselage, a larger one on either side of the cockpit and a smaller one on either side of the rear fuselage near the engine nozzle. The specific purpose of these antennas is unknown but they are thought to be for electronic countermeasures purpose.
