Re: JL-15 and other trainers

Er... you only see two wheels? I see three though. The front wheel is behind the second blue thing. The plane look unusually tall to me too, but I thing without that high, the propeller would touch the ground.
Oh right, my apologies -- for some reason I was thinking that the third wheel should be on the rear tail like WWII planes, though obviously these days piston engined aircraft have mostly adopted a tricycle configuration.

My Kindergarten level Mandarin is too slow for me to keep up with everybody talking so fast!:rofl:

A.Man, great video ,did they say anything new or interesting about the L-15?

Re: JL-15 and other trainers

a small slotted array antenna ,the whole antenna was not mounted in stabilized gimbal ,rather it was fixed.
for a while I mistakenly though it was PESA antenna.

Apparently it was some sort of phased array radar. (The article claims the L-15's manoeuvrability is better than '3rd generation fighters' but of course they failed to specify if they meant Chinese 3rd generation or the ROTW's definition of 3rd generation)

Re: JL-15 and other trainers

this the original Chinese interview on this I think
It says that 06 had its first flight in October 26th. It says L-15 is world's only twin-engined supersonic trainer.
昨日12时50分到13时许,珠海航展现场,我国研制的L15“猎鹰”06号高级教练机,为观众奉献了10分钟的精彩表演。它时而旱地拔葱,时而连续滚转,但始终保持在观众视线内,让观众大饱眼福。众多观众认为,”猎鹰“的表演与歼-10、枭龙一样,“非常精彩,让人难忘!”而该机今年10月26日才首飞成功。

研制“猎鹰”的中航工业防务分公司举行的新闻发布会上,专家称, 以“猎鹰”06号高级教练机为代表的“猎鹰”LIFT状态(即战斗入门状态)系列高级教练机是目前世界上最先进的高级教练机之一,只要用户有需求,可很快发展出舰载版,配装在航母上作战斗机使用。

总师称其性能极先进

猎鹰系列教练机的总设计师张弘介绍,“猎鹰”系列教练机,是目前世界上惟一一种采用双发动机的超音速高级教练机。
compared to 05, 06 made 5 major changes:
1) using a FADEC engine with afterburner. It's maneuverability extends 3rd gen fighter (Chinese standard here)
2) it increased space inside plane
3) equipping PESA radar
4) Redesigned avionics, using 1 HUD+3 MFDs in front seat and 3 MFDs in back seat.
5) Increased payload with 9 hard points + many types of PGMs of up to 3500 KG
6) Airframe got strengthened to be able to perform greater load maneuvers.
与“猎鹰”05号机相比,“猎鹰”06号机有五大变化:换装了全权限数字式电子控制的加力型涡扇发动机,机动性达到甚至超过了第三代战斗机;加大了机身容积,以配装无源相控阵雷达;航电系统重新设计,采用了前舱一平三下显、后舱三下显与第三代战斗机相同的玻璃化座舱,进一步提高了人机功效;提升武器外挂能力,有九个外挂点,可挂载更多种类的精确制导武器达3500公斤;机体结构得到加强,可飞出更大的过载动作。
L-15 can be used AJT and LIFT
张弘称,06号机的研制成功,标志着“猎鹰”系列教练机向AJT(高级教练)及LIFT(战斗入门)两个系列发展。后者既可作高级教练机使用,又可作战斗机使用,能执行近地支援、要地防空、武装侦察等任务,是一款世界先进水平的战斗型教练机。
L-15 can be turned into naval aircraft. It says that 06 uses large amount of composite material which strengthened its air frame.
猎鹰可变身航母舰载机

李玉海特别强调,“猎鹰”的配置可根据用户需求进行灵活更改。当记者问到猎鹰能否发展出舰载版,用作航母舰载战斗机使用时,李玉海肯定地回答能根据客户的要求对猎鹰作相应改动。当记者追问,能否将他的话理解为就是猎鹰能用作航母舰载机时,李玉海笑了笑,没有作出否定回答。

而张弘总师详细介绍了当日猎鹰表演的四套特技动作,“它表现出的高推动力和大迎角飞行特性,及高机动能力,与三代战斗机相比,毫不逊色。”

对于猎鹰能否上舰,张弘称,在这个问题上,他同意李玉海董事长的回答,即这是由客户的需求决定的。

张弘称,舰载机对起落架、机体结构的强度要求比陆基飞机高。而“猎鹰”06号机本身大量采用了复合材料,机体结构已在05号机的基础上进行了加强,还可以再加强,难度不大。(武汉晨报 特派记者 陈亮 珠海摄影报道)

Any idea what the PESA radar used is?

Wow those are some very impressive features, it seems that its already better than South Korea's FA-50 fighter upgrade to the T-50 which is using a PD Radar.
