China provides F-8T fighter for foreign users in 13th Aviation Expo in Beijing
Posted on 23 September 2009 by adminShareThis
September.23 (China Defense Mashup Reporting by Johnathan Weng) — Today the 13th Aviation Expo is held in China International Exhibition Center, Beijing. AVIC provides a new version member of J-8 family to foreign users. At this time it is not J-8IIM but F-8T from SAC.
F-8T fighter is designed by Shenyang Aircraft Design and Research Institute and manufactured by SAC (Shenyang Aircraft Corporation). F-8T is capable of interception, combat and air-to-surface attack performing day and night as well as in complex climate conditions.

F-8T Fighter is equipped with advanced multi-functionalX-band full-wave airborne pulse dopplar radar, which can provide accurate targeting and tracking on multiple air targets. The air-to-air object (radar cross section=3 square meter) detection range is greater than 75km for upward view, and greater than 45km for downward view. The air-to-sea object (radar cross section=50 square meter) detection range is greater than 100km for radar sea operating mode-1; and greater than 80km for radar sea operating mode-2. The tracking range for single target is no less than 80% of the detection range. The radar’s search-while-tracking function is capable of simultaneous search and tracking of no less than 10 targets, working together with fire control system on multi-target attack. The radar can guide various types of missiles and other precisely-guided-weapons. The design of the radar meets the requirements for further battlefield environment.
The radar, compatible to friend-or-foe inquiry responder, is capable of friend-or-foe identification during air-to-air and air-to-surface search and tracking. It guides various types of missiles and other smart weapons, including heat-seeking dogfight air-to-air missile, medium range air-to-air interception missile, anti-ship missile and laser-guided bomb.
The design of “One head-up two head-down displays” is adopted in the in the cockpit configuration, namely an integrated display solution employing one head-up display and two multi-functional displays as the primary displays with mechanic bellows instrument as the backup, providing the pilot with various flight and combat information. It guarantees to accomplish the combat missions with twin-stick operation under head-up display condition. The cockpit design integrating human-aircraft-environment provides wider view and piloting comfortability.
F-8T Fighter is equipped with two WP13BII (FWP14A) Turbojet Engines to provide strong power with a thrust-weight ration of 0.94, ensuring the immediate operation and high maneuverability in air combat.
