Chengdu J-10 Multirole Fighter Air Craft News & Discussions

[LJQC]

Very good one. Thanks. So the Y axis is Cm, X axis is AoA (down to -30/40 degree??), the top curve is max nose up control surface limit and the bottom curve is max nose down control surface limit?

Yes. The curve is in a -90 to 90 deg AOA range, with every AOA tick 20deg apart.

How many J10s does China have? How many of them are J10B's and C's ?

Wiki says 435 .. is this close to accurate?

Fifty J-10B and around 100 J-10C as of now.

Really?

a rough look at what c/n we know, their date of being first spotted and conclusion we know:

Block - first seen - highest no. known
-----------------------------------------------------
B-01 - 12.2013 - 01.22 (but reported are 01.54 and 01.55 too)
C-02 - 01.2016 - 02.75 (10.2018)
C-03 - 10.2018 - 03.39
C-04 - 11.2019 - 04.40
C-05 - 05.2020 - 05.12

IMO this fits nicely to the following estimation: about 56 in batch 01, 76 in Batch 02 and about 40 in Batches 3 & 4 making 212 J-10B/C (from Batch 01 - 04) + 12 in Batch 05 = 224 altogether.

But again, only my 2 cents!

The more the merrier.

and probably more than over 500 of all variants of J10 A/S/AH/B/C

Sir @Deino as you estimated seem too have 225 apx of J10B/C

Then how many are J10A sir ?

I think your analysis here is pretty on the point with regards to the serials we've seen. However, I think the true number of J-10Cs is even higher given the fighters we haven't seen yet ... just like the J-20.

J-10B are all upgraded to J-10C standard since they share fuselage. J-10A are all scrapped.

That’s not true. There are over two hundred J-10A still in service.

J-10A don't have the same fuselage as J-10B/C so these are getting replaced by J-10C.

What a waste throwing away some 6 years old aircraft, you must very filthy rich.

Not throwing away. It's called recycling.
