Another AL-31F engined J-10 accident and killed the best looking female pilot.

All the recent accidents are related AL-31F and yet China recently bought a new batch of them from Russia.

AL-31F fast becoming the new Opium for China and propagates the Sickman of Asia. Highly Addictive and Deadly.

Can you post your evidence that engine mishap caused the accident? I hope you're not just guessing because there are many other possible causes and I do believe there is a reason they keep ordering AL-31 instead of using Taishan to batch-power J-10.

Is this true?. I say so many time on this forum that AL31F is junk. They should just junk them. Why don't they use WS10B is beyond me . Maybe some one get kickback?.
I don't think they bought new batch other than that Japanese sources or rumor nobody said the same.
They killed the best looking female pilot I'm mad!

Common bro mourn her for what she had achieved, a member of an elite team and the first female J10A fighter pilot. Don't be a Trump.

From what I read about the female pilot's death it looks as if it was human error and has nothing to do with mechanical failure.
Looks as if they were doing acrobatic training when one plane made contact with another resulting to the two pilots going for emergency escape only for the female pilot being plowed down by a third plane.

Precision acrobatic flying is always a dangerous job, we have to recognise and give credit to the pilots regardless of which airforce they belong too, flying within a few feet of each other and at high speed.

I totally understand where you are coming from but accident investigation has to be thorough, precise and come to a conclusion on what was the source of the problem so to prevent similar accidents from happening.
You can't just shrug you head and say that is part of the game. Frankly speaking that would be an insult to the ones who had died doing their job.

that is not what I am implying, all I am saying is it is a hazardous job and a through investigation I agree must be carried out to find out the cause, so it will not be repeated, that is how one move forward and learn. What I am trying to point out is it is quite easy for us to be critical of what had happen not knowing the difficulties involve.For now let us send our heartfelt condolence to the family of Ms.Xu as military enthusiast that appreciate the hard work she had gone through to get to where she was.

Chief designer of the WS-10, Zhang Enhe, passed away at the age of 77 last night. Despite hailing from a country that had never designed an aerospace engine, he and his team managed to leapfrog from zero to F100-equivalent. Because of his work, China can equip her 4th-gen fighters with domestic 4th-gen turbofans. RIP

A sad last few days for Chinese Military aviation, my deepest condolence to his family. The nation had lost another aviation pioneer.
