J-10 Thread IV

[PeoplesPoster]

The J-10 has a significantly thick wing root, if you look at it from the front its very obvious. I can imagine that this should add to internal fuel capacity.

j10A had always been doing acrobatic moves for airshow without external fuel tanks.....

It was speculated that J10C has around 3T internal fuel, while Rafale is advertised to carry 4.7T. J10 looks bigger than rafale too.

Speculated by whom? What your source for this? Are you citing that Polish plumber again?

The point, though, is that the Rafale is probably superior WVR because it has something quite similar to the J-20's aerodynamic layout and the J-10 is a generation behind (roughly Gripen / Lavi) layout.

I don't understand how you reached the conclusion that Rafale's layout is quite similar to J-20, regardless its performance.

J-20 is a far coupled canard, Rafale is a close coupled like Gripen and Lavi. They are vastly different in how canards work and the impact on main wings. J-10 on the other hand sits in between the two extremes.

Also there is no generations between these configurations. All of them are designed for different performance choices based on the same principle of canard and wing interaction. If you really want to differentiate them, only J-20 would stand out because its canards are almost on the same plane as the main wings, while the rests all have canards on planes higher up over main wings.

@Deino let's play the detective game. It says in the article his first unit was operating old J-7 and started conversion to J-10 in 2014. But at end of 2017, he was transferred to some unit in STC. In the 2021 competition, he partnered with Gao Benchao (高本超) who is from another unit. This
