Re: New JF-17/FC-1 thread
This is the article I found in the chinese websit,translated by babel fish translate,this artcle describe a lot of FC-1 JF17 storys,that the fighter seams not so bad.
“枭龙”飞机由中航一集团与巴基斯坦空军共同投资，由一航成都飞机研究所、成都飞机工业集团等自主研制。该机“家源”颇深，脱胎于歼-7/米格-21，成型于超-7，最终定型为FC-1“枭龙”(巴基斯坦命名为JF-17“雷电”/“军刀Ⅱ”)。可以说，经过后来的重新设计，今天的FC-1“枭龙”战机已经是与最初的歼-7完全不同的一种新型战机了。
现在，随着“枭龙”04号战机的成功首飞，很多媒体都对“枭龙”战机的相关情况作了深入报道，但有不少读者关心的“现实问题”却罕有说明，比如：这次试飞的为什么是“枭龙”04号，它的01——03号机情况如何？“枭龙”04号战机究竟“新”在哪里，他跟以前的“枭龙”比有什么特别的地方？“枭龙”战机造价是多少钱，它能为中国和巴基斯坦带来巨额的外汇收入么？与国际市场上的美国法国战机相比，他们有足够的竞争力么？装备了“枭龙”战机的巴基斯坦空军可以抵消印度空军的技术优势么...这些疑问，我们都可以从下面的文章中看到相应的分析。
FC-1“枭龙”战机目前有“四兄弟”，编号从01——04。据资料显示，1992年初，中航进出口总公司、611所和成飞公司负责人被秘密召往北京，接受“秘密指示”，这个任务后来就逐渐演变为了我们今天看到的“枭龙”战机。据官方资料显示，先后在2003年、2004年首飞的枭龙01、03架属平台状态，着重于机体研制，主要用于支持试飞，保障飞行安全。而枭龙02号机从生产出来起就没有上天过，它被用作“静力测试”，静静的躺在位于成都黄田坝的成都飞机制造厂车间里。
对于FC-1“枭龙”战机的四兄弟研制历程，官方文件是这么记载的：1998年，中国和巴基斯坦两国政府签署合作发展超七飞机的原则协议。1999年，中巴签署合作研制超七飞机的机体合同。2001年，中国航空工业第一集团公司明确超-7飞机01架航电系统采用“简化方案”，先开发飞机平台。2001年9月，冻结“枭龙”零一/零三架技术状态，进行详细设计。2002年10月，“枭龙”战机完成详细设计发图，组建八大试验台，开始相关试验。2003年8月，“枭龙”01架原型机首飞成功。2004年4月，“枭龙”03架原型机成功首飞。2004年6月，中巴签订“枭龙”战机全状态航电开发及技术转让合同。2004年7月，超-7飞机被正式重新命名为“枭龙/FC-1”飞机，巴方称其为“JF-17雷电战斗机”。2005年1月，“枭龙”战机完成04架结构详细设计发图，同年3月完成系统详细设计发图。2005年11月，“枭龙”战机04架进入总装。2006年4月上旬，“枭龙”战机完整航电系统完成研制并交付装机。2006年4月28日，全状态的“枭龙”04架战机首飞成功。
“枭龙全状态04架飞机与01、03架飞机相比具有两个主要亮点：一是采用了先进的‘蚌’式进气道设计技术，二是配置了先进的全状态航电系统。”成都飞机设计研究所副总设计师朱谦在枭龙04架飞机28日首飞成功之后说。
所谓‘蚌’式进气道，也叫无隔道进气道，就是在进气口前方的机身上设计一个鼓包，用鼓包取代了传统的隔道与调板系统，通过这个鼓包对进入进气道的空气进行预压缩，并且吹除附面层。“蚌”式进气道设计是航空气动领域中较为领先的技术，对提高飞机平台性能，具有较高实用价值。“我们与美国基本同步展开研究的这项技术，目前仅在美国的F-35联合攻击机和枭龙04架飞机上得到了应用。”朱谦说。
枭龙04架飞机还配装了国内最先进的高度综合化的航空电子和武器系统，配置了“一平三下”座舱显示设备，综合控制显示取代了所有系统的备份仪表，良好的人机界面向飞行员提供更加丰富的作战信息，操作便捷。朱谦介绍说：“航天综合设计技术是国际上的一项高新技术，枭龙04架飞机的成功首飞，标志着综合航电系统的研制取得了重大进展，实现了这种技术由引进向出口的跨越。”=>详细
“巴基斯坦空军一共订购了150架JF-17，其中也包括了若干数量用作教练和战术使用的双座改型。这150架JF-17的联合生产将由我们的PAC和中国的成都飞机公司共同完成。作为这项长期合作合同的组成部分，成立联合的销售和市场开拓团队自然也是顺理成章的事情。包含大量高新技术的JF-17将给巴基斯坦空军带来一场革命，也将极大提高巴基斯坦自己研制生产高性能战机的能力。JF-17量产型的首批产量为16架：其中8架交付中国，8架交付给巴基斯坦。2006年6月各交付给中国和巴基斯坦的头4架JF-17都将由成都飞机公司生产，第二批次的8架将在2006年最后一个季度交付使用，其中4架交付给中国的生产仍由成都飞机公司承揽，而巴基斯坦需要的那4架则在PAC完成装配。”
“JF-17的系列化生产肯定要等到在其原型机上完成航电整合工作和武器鉴定合格定型之后。所以头批次的8架战机就将会是全功能型的多重任务战机。但是，在JF-17上整合其它备选航电设备以及雷达的工作仍在继续进行，主要是根据客户的选择和要求来决定到底采用那款雷达和哪国出产的航电设备。”——巴基斯坦空军少将沙希德.拉提夫（JF-17“雷电”战机开发项目主管）=>详细
记者从JF-17研制计划主要参与者、负责中国航空装备进出口贸易的中国航空技术进出口总公司(简称：中航技)新闻发言人处了解到：中航技领导已经就此事与俄罗斯负责相关装备出口的部门进行了沟通，俄方表示RD-93型发动机对中国的出口没有任何问题，对于该发动机从中国转口其他国家，只要不违背联合国的相关规定，也没有任何问题。
记者还致电负责制造JF-17的成都飞机工业集团公司。成飞宣传部的副部长周文表示：“目前‘枭龙’原型机的研制和试飞一直保持比较好的态势。第4架原型机的制造正在进行中。该机未来的首飞将比01号和03号的首飞更有看头，不过具体首飞的时间不可以透露。”针对巴空军可能削减‘枭龙’采购数量的说法，周文表示，“这种说法完全不符合事实。‘枭龙’的研制正按计划正常进行。目前，‘枭龙’在国际市场上正受到越来越多的关注。”
随后，记者致电巴基斯坦驻华空军武官阿格哈·查希尔(Zaheer)空军上校，他表示将就这两个问题详细了解一下情况，查明后将于次日致电记者并给予答复。2天后，查希尔上校致电本记者，上校明确表示：“JF-17的研制计划不变，巴空军采购JF-17的计划也不变。”=>详细
"The owlet dragon" the airplane invests together by a China National Aviation Corp group and the Pakistani air force, by a navigation Chengdu airplane research institute, the Chengdu airplane industry group and so on independently develops. This machine "the family source" is quite deep, leaves the womb to J -7/ Mig -21, takes shape to Super J -7, the finally stereotypia is FC-1 "the owlet dragon" (Pakistan names is JF-17 "thunder and lightning"/"saber II"). It can be said that, passed through the afterwards redesign, today FC-1 "the owlet dragon" the fighter plane already was and initial J -7 completely different one kind of new fighter plane. Now, while "the owlet dragon" the 04th fighter plane become successfull first flies, very multimedia all the fighter plane related situation has made the thorough report to "the owlet dragon", but has many readers to care about "the realistic problem" actually rarely to explain, for instance: Why is this test flight "the owlet dragon" 04, its 01 - 03 machine what state? "The owlet dragon" is the 04th fighter plane outcome "new" in where, what special place did he "the owlet dragon" the ratio have with before? How much money "the owlet dragon" is the fighter plane construction cost, it can brings the large amount foreign exchange earnings for China and Pakistan? Compares with the international market in American France fighter plane, they have the enough competitive ability? Equipped "the owlet dragon" the fighter plane Pakistani air force to be allowed to counterbalance the Indian air force the technical superiority.. These questions, we all may see the corresponding analysis from the under article. FC-1 "the owlet dragon" the fighter plane at present has "four brothers", serial number from 01-04. According to the material demonstrated that, at the beginning of 1992, the China National Aviation Corp import and export main corporation, 611 institutes and CAC top officers were called toward Beijing, accepted "the secret to instruct", this duty afterwards on gradually evolved in order to we see "the owlet dragon" today the fighter plane. According to the official material demonstrated that, successively the owlet dragon which in 2003, 2004 new years flies 01, 03 are the platform condition, emphatically to the organism development, mainly uses in to support the test flight, the safeguard flight safety. But owlet dragon 02 machine from produce has not ascended the sky, it serves as "the static test", static lies down reigns to in the Chengdu Huangtian dam Chengdu aircraft factory workshop. "The owlet dragon" fighter plane four brothers develops the course regarding FC-1, the official document is such records: In 1998, China and the Pakistan government signed the cooperation to develop the ultra seven airplanes principle agreement. In 1999, China and Pakistan sign the cooperation to develop the Super-J-7 airplanes the organism contract. In 2001, the China aviation industry first group company is clear about the Super-J-7 airplane 01 navigations electricity system use "the reduction procedure", first develops the airplane platform. In September, 2001, the freeze "the owlet dragon" 01/03 technical conditions, carry on the detailed design. In October, 2002, "the owlet dragon" the fighter plane completes the detailed design to send the chart, sets up eight big test platforms, starts to be connected experiments. In August, 2003, "the owlet dragon" 01 prototypes noses fly successfully. In April, 2004, "the owlet dragon" 03 prototypes become succesfull first fly. In June, 2004, China and Pakistan sign "the owlet dragon" the fighter plane entire condition navigation electricity development and the technical transfer contract. In July, 2004, the Super-J-7 airplane reis officially named as "owlet dragon /FC-1" the airplane, Palestine called it is "the JF-17 thunder and lightning fighter aircraft". In January, 2005, "the owlet dragon" the fighter plane completes 04 structures detailed designs to send the chart, in the same year in March completes the system detailed design to send the chart. In November, 2005, "the owlet dragon" fighter plane 04 enter the general equipment department. At the beginning of April, 2006, "the owlet dragon" the fighter plane complete navigation electricity system completes the development and payment installing equipment. On April 28, 2006, the entire condition "the owlet dragon" 04 wars noses fly successfully. "The owlet dragon entire condition 04 airplanes with 01, 03 airplanes compare have two main luminescent spots: One, has used ' the freshwater mussel '(DSI) advanced the type air intake design technology, two was has disposed the advanced entire condition navigation electricity system." Chengdu airplane design research institute vice- chief designer Zhu Qian on 28th flies successfully after the owlet dragon 04 airplanes said.

"The freshwater mussel" the type air intake design is in the aviation air operated domain the comparatively leading technology, to enhances the airplane platform performance, has a higher practical value. "We launch the research with American basic synchronization this technology, at present only obtained the application in US'S F-35 union attack airplane and on the owlet dragon 04 airplanes." Zhu Qian said. The owlet dragon 04 airplanes have also installed the home most advanced high integration aviation electron and the armament system, "evenly disposed three" the cabin graphic display device, the integrated control demonstration has substituted for all systems appendage, the good man-machine contact surface provided the richer combat information to the pilot, the operation is convenient.
