J-10 Thread IV

[Pampa]

Not sure, I think the 1100 km is on a clean configuration with no external tanks or stores.

It is certainly very difficult to evaluate these numbers since only manufacturers and some operators deliver them with reservations, only to their most reliable allies.

Thanks anyway for the data

Best regards

My personal fantasy is to put Flanker style LERX on J-10 and reduce the sweep angle of main wing. This should improve sustained turn rate of delta-canards. Basically the idea of Song's high lift small aspect ratio paper applied to J-10.

Put two engines on it and you got the J-20.

Or the Eurofighter.

Eurofighter doesn't have LERX's though.

Sorry for OT, ... indeed, the current ones not, but the German LW tested at least two with a small LERX to improve the Typhoon's aerodynamics:

IMO it is a lot less structural change. Though I believe J-10 will not receive any major change pass the C variant, hence my calling it a fantasy, wish I can go back in time and tell song about his own idea before he design J-10...

Interesting... Is there any reason why they don't incorporate this design on later productions?

MAWS located in the DSI sides seems to be covered or maybe blurred.
Any clear photo of J-10C MAWS (front and back)???
They seems a little bit small compared with the previously fited in J-10B base tail.
