China's fighter plane makes forced landing

BEIJING -- A Jian-10 (Fighter-10), China's most advanced military jet, had made a successful forced landing during a training flight after an engine failure, China Central Television (CCTV) reported Sunday.

When the pilot Li Feng was exercising a difficult action in the fighter on March 7 at the height of 4,500 meters, a warning popped up on the screen, the report said.

Li, a deputy regiment commander of the Air force, realized the plane might lose power at any time and requested to return after a quick check on the engine.

The engine stopped working when the fighter was 7 kilometers away from the airport. Then the fighter began to fall at a speed of 25 meters per second, it reported.

Striving to adjust the aircraft pose, Li steered the fighter into the runway through inertia.

Though the drag parachute failed to work, the pilot managed to bring the plane to a stop after it taxied down the runway for 1,400 meters, according to the report, noting that the forced landing took 104 seconds.

China unveiled the Jian-10 in January 2007. With proprietary intellectual property rights (IPR), the Jian-10 heralds the third generation of Chinese fighter aircraft.

Military observers say the Jian-10 can not match the United States' fourth-generation fighter aircraft in performance but its basic design and onboard equipment are comparable to those of mainstream fighter aircraft in the West.

The committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) of the Air Force has decided to bestow Li Feng with a first-class merit and an honorary medal for his outstanding performance as a pilot.

Engine was a Russian AL-31.

Bravo to the couragous pilot for bringing the plane back in one piece instead of ejecting, unlike the American F-18 that lost its engine and crashed into a residental house.

And lol at the people judging the J-10's capabilities. No specific data has been released whatsoever, so I find it amusing that people are shooting off their mouths already.

A tad unfair that you question the courage of the F-18 pilot. A coward would not have wrestled with the controls of the plane until the very last possible minute.

Marines sack 4 over deadly California plane crash

I missed the “shooting off their mouths” part completely - is this what you call a pre-emptive strike?

The J-10 pilot in this incident is very experienced and brave. He mentioned in the interview he wanted to avoid the casualty on the ground because the area is densely populated. He had done everything right to save himself and the plane. I would say, normally the pilot should eject because the life of a pilot is always more valuable than the aircraft itself.

Hi, German Girl, why do you have sucn an interest in China?

[aimarraul]

If I remember correctly, a similar J-8 incident happened last year ,our pilots are freaking brave..... the F-18 incident is like a story of the coward to us

She is not German, there is a French flag and an American flag. Now are you ignorant or just proving limitation of your mental ability.
Secondly china is right the center of attention right now, for good and bad both reasons. So Chinese should take all criticism. Even if they cant. doesn't mean everybody will stop talking about them.
Yes he sure is a hero, But that doesn't give you a license to disrespect other's heroes. Without much knowledge of facts.
J-10 enough data is available till now to compare with western aircraft, You should feel proud its been compared with f-16 one of the most successful aircraft ever.
sorry intention was never to make you feel bad.
cheers!

hah, sorry, make a big mistake.
infact, I just can recgnize a few country's flag.
Japan, Usa, South Korea, Parkistan and India.

Thanks for so much good advice and criticism.
But lots of Chinese naturally dislike Western countries(especial the french dwarf president and the German fat woman prime minister) though we still must study a lot from them.

I would love to see this "data."

No specs have ever been published by Chinese government sources, and most private defense sites and forums simply use Lavi measurements to estimate J-10 ones.

PAF knows the worth of J-10, & they showed satisfaction over it.

I think Chinees products are very good.
We here in Pakistan, mostly use 80% of chinees products in our daily life.

Because our goverment strictly control the quality of the export products.
But in China, there are also a few immoral capitalist produce some low quality
products.

hehe, We don't avoid the problem.

But still people like china products becase of low price and some times they compromise with quality.

We know China makes 3 to 5 versions of any product that differs in quality and export the chosen version with respect of the target country economy.

Qualtiy value = Money.

Any ways I know J-10 is of quality quality.

In the report i have read it implied that there is concern as this plane may have had a chinese engine. i think this is wrong. the chinese engines have to my best knowledge not yet been used in a single engined J10.the y have been tried out in J11s.
