I do not care who state what. If it is wrong, I will say so.
I'm not stating anything regarding to the radar itself. I'm starting by restating what someone else is saying. Do you want to show me where he didn't say that? If so, how can I be wrong?
No...They do not. At best, the military requirement of as capable a radar system as possible, such as the F-14 for fleet defense, will compel the design team to place antenna size as high consideration, but aerodynamics necessities override all.
except that's what they are doing on J-10. Clearly having a nose like J-10 means that if you put a mechanical radar on there, it would not be able to use all of the space available.
I do not know and really do not care where you got the highlighted notion, or that you may perceive it to be true, but that is simply not true. It does not take much search to find that the F-35's AESA antenna is not elliptical =>
I did not say those points are true. I said that if those are true, then the next point would come to true also. Now, do you understand the difference between the two?
This is actually really annoying me to no end, because you are clearly mislabeling my comments. Instead of actively to rebuke everyone on this thread, why don't you actually read clearly what people are trying to say first?
Now, as for the shape of AESA radar itself. They come in different shapes. I posted many of those pictures myself. Did I say AESA have to be certain shapes? I don't need you to lecture me.
Read this. Does this look like something where I'm saying 1 or 2 is true or something where I'm stating how 2 conjectures would arrived at a conclusion? Or that a result could point to some clues about the origin.
I said that if the following two statements are true:
1) CAC designed J-10B with AESA in mind
2) and the most optimal shape of the AESA radar is not circular.
Then the following holds
They would design a fighter in J-10B with a non circular nose.
In no where there did I say 1 or 2 is true. So, either you are too busy trying to shot me down to read that or you have no comprehension of English.
This is obviously said in response to Inst who thinks the reason that J-10B's antenna were shaped non-circular due to the shape of J-10B's nose. He failed to see that they designed J-10B's nose non-circular in the first place possibly due to what kind of radar they had in mind.
Not at all. More like amusement. Am an old guy and fairly new to this Internet thingie, as in I have been 'on line' within less than ten years. I have no Facebook account nor do I engage in any Internet social network. It has been my experience on anonymous Internet forums that whenever my origin is known to Chinese members, it is more the focus for them than on the contents of my arguments. And if that fact is unknown to some, it will be quickly made available to the ignorant so it can be fodder for personal attacks.
I have no clue why he saw the need to mention your ethnicity, but it's clear that he put his post to support your credentials. I would say that we have many others who have professional backgrounds here. A lot of them are respected for what they have to say even if it counters the hopes of Chinese members here. But it would be appropriate if you start by showing less hostility to others here.
Also, this is my final point on this. Try to have one final point and move forward. We are completely getting to a meaningless dispute. I don't know why race have to come into this at all.
