J-10 Thread III (Closed to posting)

[plawolf]

Ever consider the CFTs might be for the naval J10?

I don't see why the naval fighter contract should be any different then all other contracts. A little competition is a good way to get the best out of your suppliers. Hell, it would not be that bad an idea to have a two plane air wing for carriers.

The naval Flanker/J15 can be the long range striker (and the mock up seem to suggest a side-by-side seating arrangement which is more suited for strikers then fighters) with the naval J10 being the escorts and fleet defenders.

The small size of the J10 will also allow a bigger air wing then a pure flanker force, and since both share a very similar engine and weapons, logistics would be a lot simpler then many other two fighter air wings that have worked in the past.

It would be a bit of a waste to have only CFT's for a naval variant of an aircraft... It would be better if the CFT could be used for all variants of the plane.

We've been through the the probabilities of having a naval J-10, but the fact is that right now we've not conclusively heard evidence from a reliable source that a naval J-10 is going to complement the J-15, or is even under development.

actually can someone explain to me why j10 doesn't have a retractable refuelling probe what are the cons and pros?

Simply put, they ran out of space in the nose, and redesigning everything to fit a retractable fuel probe wasn't worth the money given the marginal performance penalties. Plus, they were probably already thinking of the B-variant, and figured just to fix that problem in the upgrade.

You possibly could just retrofit in the retractable refuelling pod if the J-10B has it by completely replacing the noses of the original J-10s, radar and all, if you wanted to rebuild them that much. The J-11As seem to have undergone pretty extensive refits to J-11B standards.

To my knowledge it is most related to extra weight of the internal probe and the fact that it is more complex so vulnerable. The French go for the fixed probe on the Mirage 2000 and Rafale while they do have experience with the retractable on the etendard.

december 2009 issue of ordance industries knowledge mag. provide more data on J10A.
according to article, J-10A has superior turning radius over F-16 (33deg./sec-m-0.7),climbing speed,while F-16 superior in acceraletion speed and has shorter take off runway over J-10A,according to the author this is due to F-16 engine.
J-10A twin stabilizer,fin ,wing flap and radar access panel uses composite material.the aircraft is fitted with standard jam proof UHF/VHF,search and resue radio,and jam rpoof secure data link.there's no mention of SATCOM.
artcile do not mention about her overall RCS,nor mention of RAM.
radar has max. range of 160km,magazine mention of AESA for future upgrade,but do not provide detail.
aircraft passive sensor aside from radar warning,MAW and laser warning receiver.

there's no mention of SATCOM.

If you look at the newer J10A models you will see behind the cockpit a white device. That is the satcom.

Which F-16 were they talking about? There are so many types of F-16 jets with various engines (and many upgrades). I read the F-16C and more advanced F-16 jets have higher performance engines than the J-10A and probably the J-10B.
