It is a wrong assumption.
so you are saying that aircraft designers don't design the nose with the type of radar they would like to fit in mind?.... interesting.
No...There is no such 'hint'. Antenna real estate, shape, and dimensions are independent of aerodynamic necessities evident by radome shape. By 'independent' it does not mean the antenna is not constrained by radome volume but that antenna real estate, shape, and dimensions are usually dictated from mission statements, in other words, if the main mission is volume search over other considerations, for example, then the antenna will shaped to produce a fan beam, regardless if the system is PESA or AESA.
See above.
You apparently don't speack any form of English or completely lack comprehension. I did not state definitively that J-10B is using AESA radar or PESA radar.
I said that if the following two statements are true:
1) CAC designed J-10B with AESA in mind
2) and the most optimal shape of the AESA radar is not circular.
Then the following holds
They would design a fighter in J-10B with a non circular nose.
In no where there did I say 1 or 2 is true. So, either you are too busy trying to shot me down to read that or you have no comprehension of English.
This is obviously said in response to Inst who thinks the reason that J-10B's antenna were shaped non-circular due to the shape of J-10B's nose. He failed to see that they designed J-10B's nose non-circular in the first place possibly due to what kind of radar they had in mind.
btw, you also seem to be a new member here. Do you mind showing a little less arrogance?
