J-10 Thread III (Closed to posting)

Odd. I'm not aware of any recent Chinese research in PESA.

 

[challenge]

during the 2004 zhuhai airshow, nanjing radar display several radar component,among them are X-band and C-band phase shifter,S-band low noise ampiflier.
China are more familiar with PESA technology,during the 2008 zhuhai airshow, janes was told that PLAAF is testing PESA radar for J-10.the article appear in JDW.

sorry to be noob but what do they do in static test or i should put it this way what is statics

They add weights to various parts of the airframe and let it sit there for a long time to see where and how fatigue develops.

 

[crobato]

They put the plane on a giant shaker with the hanging weights on, then shake the plane literally to pieces.

I thought the radars of the KJ-2000, the KJ-200 and 052C DDG were all AESA?

Hmmm, It seems that they are AESA if you want to....Lets face it, where can you find an reliable source about chinas military, particulary things that we cant see in photos? we can only speculate

Ugly J-10 workmanship!!
Why they still have so many screws on the skin? THat's old style. outdated.
Just by looking this type of outdated skin on the J-10, I could tell they don't have the manufacturing technology level to make a good engine. No wonder WS-10A couldn't make it.. they are not up to par on the manufacturing or overall tech level.

sigh..... busted..

Cost maybe a factor for the screw.

Hightech plane shouldn't be like that.
Some of screws are even missing and misaligned...

Most of the western plane aren't like that. Are they using composite or what?

 

[luhai]

actually screws (actually they are rivets) are still pretty common in aviation today. However, usually the rivets would bow inward and a coating would covers it up. But they are slowly on their way out as composites % of plane becomes more and more. Here a "naked" JSF museum pieces, you can still see the rivets. But they aren't as pronounced as the one on that J-10.
