J-10 Thread IV

[FriedRiceNSpice]

Artwork is literally F-16 with canards.

Looks much more like the Lavi than the J-10.

Looks much more like the Lavi than the J-10.

LAVI had swept wings, not delta. Nose cone also look nothing alike.

Artwork is literally F-16 with canards.

The planform and Canard placement looks correct, the nose looks at least to me more of the J-10 flat shape, the tails of both aircraft are similar, the oval intake is correct for the 1991 mock up and the engine does look like the WP-15 more then the F100 or F110 in my opinion. I do think the artist used the F-16 somewhat to fill in the gaps but it does look like the early design, which was already replaced by that point.

Yeah on early J-10 model the intake was similar to that of the F-16.

Reportedly this image came from leaked early design data (separate from the 1999 leak) I was curious if anyone knew anything about that incident.

Nope. It also had a delta wing.

Nope. It also had a delta wing.

That’s swept. If it is delta the trailing edges will form 90 degree angle with the fuselage.

 

[gelgoog]

It is still a delta. See the Avro Arrow for example.
Also not 90 degree but still a delta.

That’s swept. If it is delta the trailing edges will form 90 degree angle with the fuselage.

The delta that isn't 90° with the fuselage is called a compound delta wing, aka cranked arrow, like the one on the F-16XL pictured above.
