@ Wangrong ::: Sir, I want to ask that, what is the probability of integrating WS-15 in J-10 after it is matured as I see with its enormous thrust it may give it supercruise capability or is this could be achieved with WS-10 series ...

very nice thanks

Video of August First's recent performance in Shi Jia Zhuang. This is filmed by an amateur so the video quality is not too good.

All of above are J10A..

We are waiting for J10B flight tests ...!!!!

Any guess wt could be the new and different features would J10B have

Lets have some discussion on J10A Vs J10B

Lets have some discussion on J10A Vs J10B

J-10B is almost near induction, and these are acrobatic manuvers not flight test manuvers. We have already discussed a bit on the difference in previous posts. J-10B is an enhancement of J-10A's both A2A and A2G capabilities but the foucus remained on enhancing A2A.

J-10A VS J-10B​

J-10A

Powerplant: 1× Saturn-Lyulka AL-31FN
Speed:- 1.9 Mach
Loaded weight:- 14,876 kg (32,797 lb)
Combat radius:-~550 km
Thrust/weight: 0.89
Hardpoints: 11 in total
Radar:- NRIET KLJ-10 multi-mode fire-control radar
Major Armament:-
Air to Air medium range BVR PL-12 (SD-10).
Air to Air short range WVR PL-9
Air to Surface LT2 , LS6
Anti-ship missile YJ-9K
Anti-radiation missiles such PJ-9.


Major Points:-
1) Due to the J-10A's aerodynamically unstable design, a digital quadruplex-redundant fly-by-wire flight control system aids the pilot in flying the aircraft.
2) Liquid crystal Multi-function displays(MFD) Cockpit, LCD display panel
3)Advance HUD (for all weathers)
4) helmet-mounted display (HMD)
5) Advance internal electronic counter-measures (ECM) suite.
6)Jammer Pods , signals intelligence (SIGINT) pods
7)Infra-red search and track (IRST) Pods system
8) FILAT (Forward-looking Infra-red Laser Attack Targeting) pod for laser designation of targets and the Blue Sky forward looking infra-red (FLIR) pod for low visibility.
9)Air-refulling capability

(Pods are externally-mounted)

J-10B

(Prototype)

Latest Image

The J-10B is a modified variant of the J-10 multirole fighter aircraft, with modifications in airframe and avionics.

The design has a number of prominent changes which will improve performance and capabilities


Such as enhancements are to include a modified vertical stabiliser and ventral fins, manevers, redesigned engine inlet, a new radar and an infrared search and track sensor and new versions of weapons.

Powerplant: WS-10A Taihang turbofan with thrust vectoring, TVC
Speed:- ~+/- 2.0 Mach (expected)
Loaded weight:- ~ +/-18,000 kg (expected)
Combat radius:- ~ +/- 600KM (expected)
Thrust/weight: ~1.0
Hardpoints: 11 points
Radar:- Long range Unknown but PESA or may be AESA
Major Armament:-
Air to Air Long range BVR ????
Air to Air medium range new varients BVR PL-12 (SD-10).
Air to Air short range new varients WVR PL-9
Air to Surface ????
Anti-ship missile new varients YJ-9K
Anti-radiation missiles New ????.

Major Notable Points:-
1) Chin-mounted diffuser supersonic inlet (DSI) air inlet. This helps to eliminate all moving parts on the inlet, lightening the overall weight and reducing the aircraft’s radar signature.
2)electronic-optic targeting system (EOTS), commonly found in Russian AC's
3) electronic warfare and countermeasures (EW/ECM) equipment (mounted at the tip of the tailfin)

J-10B with TVC??? this is new to me.

Good news if true, it would really enhance it's dogfighting capabilities.

 

[trident2010]

Surely J10B is a nice fighter plane.

But I don't know I find its Fuselage bit too long. I am sure it is having its aerodynamic benifits.

Ya its a 'long' plane, can any experts explain the benefits?

J-10B needs not necessarily to come with a TVC. Its already very agile and the turn rates and manuvering seems astonishing. WA-10A is reported to be more reliable and and possessing better thrust than WS-10A but no TVC. I think if there is any such thing as TVC, I suspect to see that more likely on WS-10G rather than WS-10A
