^^

Seems like RCS testing of some sorts.

Seems like RCS testing of some sorts.

Composites, in-flight structural integrity - impact test (due to heavy use of composites) and of course RCS observation

 

[sohaib91]

its beautiful and capable , any country would love to have these in their AirForce

When would serial production be started . . . .???

 

[rashtriya.rifles]

which engine it flies with

 

[Pakistanisage]

Definitely has a great potential but a lot hinges on the maturity of a reliable and powerful Engine and the quality of the Avionics package.

When would China induct this J-10B Block 1 Fighter in PLAAF ?

 

[Type 055]

which engine it flies with

Just stop trying to derail the thread.

 

[fataljoshua]

i suddenly find that almost every newly designed fighter of us has canards.

 

[The A-5]

which engine it flies with

AL-31FN ofcourse.

Just stop trying to derail the thread.

He's not. He's asking what engine it fles with for his own knowledge. Its in your brain that
it appears he's trying to derail the thread - please give your advice to your chinese friends who's
only purpose in life is to derail Indian threads.

J-10B prototypes were seen with both AL-31 and WS-10 engines so its natural he got the
doubt as to which engine finally went into the production standard aircraft.

 

[cirr]

which engine it flies with

Russian engines for Batch 1 & 2（both small initial productions）。Then WS-10X。

China needs to ramp up production of its WS-10 series engines，which are being used/tested on J-11B/BS、J-15/15S、J-16 and J-10B。

 

[帅的一匹]

Said the production volume of WS10A just amount 90 pop per year.

 

[帅的一匹]

Increase the production of WS10 engine is the top priority of PLAAF in the coming year.
