How can you tell.

that thing pointed by the engineer is the tail of j-11b...

 

[Deino]

How can you tell.

Simply because it has two engines, twin tails and a sting in the middle ! ... at least I have never seen such a J-10.

J-10A demo flight. I counted about 16 seconds in the 360 degree turn from 4:42.

While interesting, this is but one data point in the flight envelope. I think the more important data points (higher mach, higher altitude) will not be available from airshows.

I agree. We have yet to see high mach maneuovres. Most of what we've seen are at comparatively low speed.

that was interesting. Was that a sustained or instantaneous turn? 22.5 degrees per second.
