New J-10 Thread III

[flyzies]

J-10 have always had its gun beneath the intake, it seems the gun position hasnt changed at all from J-10A to J-10B.

[tphuang]

This is apparently the J-10B 03. It is making its first flight. So, 01 is the one that we've seen so far in all the pictures. 02 is the one doing static testing.

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

[Skywatcher]

They basically shake up the airframe to see how long it lasts until things start to fall apart.

You have destructive and nondestructive testing... So not totally correct.

static means not moving. So static tests means they don't fly the aircraft, all testing is done on the ground. They might try to see how it reacts to different forces on the wings and weights on the pylons, etc...

PLAAF J-10 Long Distance In Flight Refueling Training Over South China Sea.

There are rumours floating around that a J10 training for the oct 1st military parade has crashed. There's even a video online:

?-10??_???_????

I'm not sure whether this is an actual J10 crashing or whether it's a video of another Delta-winged plane with canards.

Huitong has changed his entry again back to PESA.

Honestly, I don't understand why would someone be going for a PESA radar when everyone else is going for AESA unless a chinese AESA is a far dream.

Yup...Just checked it myself....

Its back to PESA (of Russian origin?)...

But simply none of us outside of the loop know what exactly the J-10B is equipped with. Heck... we still don't know the exact specs of J-10A. Has the PLAAF officially ever shown the J-10A RADAR or at least give away some of the system details?

[Skywatcher]

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

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.

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?
