Re: J-xx
As for Mig 1.44, J-10C is definitely going to take a lot of concept from that plane.
there is a slight redesign using DSI that will come out soon I guess and it will also use WS-10A engine. Either way, I think J-10 should be in the ballpark of F-16C/D. It wasn't designed for stealth in the first place.sumdud said:I don't like the idea of using the J-10 to compete. Fighters with intakes below are a lot less stealthier than other types of fighter. The radio waves will just enter, bounce back out, get reflected by the nose and goes back to the ground.
The J-10 isn't going to use the AL-31 forever, they got a new engine coming.
As for designing stealthy fighters, it's easier to give the stealth than to give the fighter. The F-22 was designed with straight sides, which should not be a hard thing compared to giving a manuverable fighter...........
