Chengdu J-10 Multirole Fighter Air Craft News & Discussions

Pakistan is not in our minds now we can handle PAF if there was a future war.

280 sukhoi mki's (super 30 upgrade)
51 Mirages (being upgraded)
69 Mig 29's (upgraded)

+ MRCA in the next few years will be enough to maintain both our western and eastern fronts

according to indian's efficiency when all of above projects are achieved, there are going to be 100+ J-20s and 100+ SAC J-2x, 500+ J10Bs, 500+ J-11B/J-15/J-18``so basically 1200+ 4.5 and 5 gen fighters in PLAAF, so please enlighten me how india is going to maintain both western and eastern fronts?

p.s by that time Pakistan is going to have 250+ JF-17/JF-17blockII, and 50+ J-10Bs which without a doubt superior than MKIs, Mirages and Migs (upgrated ones)

Aircraft 1035 is the first J-10 to be seen with the Chinese WS-10 engine since the early prototypes. The engine can be distinguished from the Russian AL-31FN by the profile of the nozzle.

The design institute at Chengdu flew a J-10B development aircraft fitted with the indigenous Shenyang Liming WS-10A Taihang engine at the end of July. All previous J-10s, apart from the first few prototypes, have flown with the Russian AL-31FN engine. The aircraft with the homegrown engine is coded “1035” and is presumably the fifth J-10B prototype, although that number may include a ground-test article.

The WS-10 has always been the intended powerplant for the J-10, but problems with its development led to an early switch to the Russian powerplant. The J-10B flight trials suggest that the engine has matured enough to now be considered for a single-engine application. Clearance of the Taihang engine would make the J-10 an “all-Chinese” aircraft, available for export without any external restrictions.

Meanwhile, an uncorroborated report of comments attributed to a high-ranking official at the Chengdu facility stated that the J-10B is about to enter production for the Chinese air force, and that the first unit of approximately 10 aircraft (with AL-31FN engines) could be delivered by year-end.

According to this same report, production of the J-10B, which features active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar and a diverterless supersonic intake, would proceed alongside that of the J-10A for some time.

Interesting!! This is contrary to earlier reports that J10A production has been halted and the next production units will be J10Bs. I wonder what is the reason for the change of mind and why is PLAAF continuing to produce J10As when they are already geared up for J10Bs.Does it mean that the two have different roles?

AESA ? J10B
 
can the j10 do the cobra maneuver?
and is it more agile then f16?

Yes, J-10A can do a cobra. Comfirm by Lei qiang. The Chinese test pilot of J-10A. But cobra is useless in dogfight. Its a circus show stunt. But if the plane is able to execute this move, more or less will affirm its great agility.

J-10A definitely is build to be more than a match for F-16. Is biggest advantage over F-16 is its canard design which allow it at high attitude, high speed turn which F-16 will not able to match it.
