深度:印度LCA战机空战将被枭龙全面压制(正方)|枭龙|中国|战机_新浪军事
  First be noted that the JF-17 (Fierce Dragon fighter) currently does not have much of comparability, it is because JF-17 has formed a relatively complete operational capability, with launch SD-10 active radar-guided air to air missiles, C- 802AK anti-ship missiles and precision-guided bomb delivery capability, and LCA currently only fired R-73 close combat air to air missiles, laser-guided bombs had put in, in terms of the overall combat capability, lower than the JF-17, where only Assuming LCA has formed a complete combat capability.

  Combat contrast, especially BVRAC comparison, airborne fire control radar and active radar guided air to air missiles, JF-17 is equipped with KLJ-7 fighter aircraft for the target size can provide 130 km detection range, LCA with Israel EL/M-2032 radar, from its nose pore size and power capacity point of view, almost the same at this level, active radar-guided air to air missiles, JF-17 is equipped with SD-10 active radar-guided air to air missiles, the effective range of 70 km, while the LCA with Israeli Derby active radar guided air to air missiles, its effective range closer, generally considered the main derby and the AIM-120 is filled Python -4 blank fire developed, so in terms of the effective range is lower than the AIM-120, SD-10 active radar guided air to air such missiles, so the key aspects BVRAC, JF-17 in a dominant position.

  Dogfight, the first comparison is combat thrust to weight ratio, according to the 2011 edition of the world's aircraft manuals, a major air JF-17 is about 6380 kg, 2300 kg in the oil, and the empty weight is 6500 kg LCA, the oil is about 2500 kg, with a standard combat state (half oil, two infrared bombs, pilots and shells) in the oil JF-17 is about 1150 kg, 2 PL-5E-2 plus rack is about 200 kg, the pilot and shells is about 100 kg, so the state of JF-17 combat weight of about 7830 kg, while the oil LCA is about 1250 kg, 2 R-73 plus pylons about 250 kg, pilots and 100 kg bombs also calculated that LCA of the state to combat weight of about 8100 kg, whichever engine thrust, JF-17 is equipped with RD-93, afterburner thrust is about 8300 kg, while the LCA is equipped with F404-GE-IN20 turbofan engine afterburner thrust is about 8500 kg, so JF-17 combat the thrust to weight ratio is about 1.06, while the LCA is about 1.05.

  View from the plane layout, JF-17 is the band edge of the trapezoidal wing, aspect ratio is relatively large, induced resistance, and therefore at high subsonic conditions, the lift to drag the whole machine is relatively high, while the LCA is used tailless delta wing, the aspect ratio is small, there is news that the LCA fighter may be the world's smallest aspect ratio, aspect ratio is small, the greater the induced drag, plus the weight ratio of the gap, so in conventional combat area (height 0.8 -1.2 meters, speed of M0.8-1.2), the main combat JF-17's performance such as acceleration, climb, stability and other properties to be hovering in the superior LCA. LCA has the advantage that its wing aspect ratio is small, the shock resistance is relatively small, and therefore better performance in the supersonic conditions, using a fixed inlet LCA but, after exceeding a certain speed, the inlet lower total pressure recovery will affect its engine thrust, so to some extent limit its performance, overall speaking, JF-17 combat flight envelope in the most pressing LCA is no problem, but should focus on the advantages of LCA package the upper right area of the line.

  So for for LCA, which should be a major improvement direction is replaced by the original F404 F414 engine engine, the engine thrust from the 8,500 kg up to 9,700 kg, thereby improving thrust to weight ratio of the aircraft, although the Indian Air Force has identified procurement F414, installed in the LCA MK2 type above, but puts LCA aircraft lengthened, while facelift AESA, integrated electronic warfare systems and other equipment, thus causing the aircraft empty weight also increases, people pay more surface water, feeling more water surface, so regardless of the actual performance of all the stuff piled to the top of the LCA approach does not actually help to improve the combat capability of the aircraft.(Author: Small Flying Pig)

Pakistani pilots Tan Xiaolong true feelings: My Chinese-

巴基斯坦飞行员谈枭龙真情流露:我的战机中国造|巴基斯坦|枭龙|中国_新浪军事


  Recent frequent appearances in Farnborough, Dubai and other large commercial air show, the Chengdu Aircraft Industrial Group and Pakistan Aeronautical Complex together research Xiaolong fighter JF-17 thunder into the international arena. Pakistani fighter demonstration of this research, as well as with its sensors and weapons exhibition, showing that it is entirely possible with other third-generation fighters such as the F-16 Fighting Falcon and the MiG-29 fighter comparable.

  But this in Pakistan Air Force fighters reached what one level? After all, from the beginning of April 2010 it has been in the forefront of the struggle of Pakistan Air Force.Airlines International and the only way to really answer this question people, JF-17 pilots and technicians who were exchanged. When 2010 JF-17 in Farnborough International Airshow debut, the Pakistan Air Force JF-17 is only one establishment, and that is stationed at 皮沙沃 AFB 26 "black spider" Squadron, equipped with 20 fighters. This type of training program also recently been approved, then the only weapon which can carry some generic PL-5EII short-range bombs and anti-aircraft missiles.

  But now the situation has changed, and now the JF-17 can carry radar-guided BVR air to air missiles to achieve performance, and some air-ground task can be achieved precision-guided weapons. Currently, Pakistan Air Force has prepared a frontline JF-17 can be fully operational in 皮沙沃 Air Force Base, 16 "Black Panther" Squadron, 26 "black spider" Squadron pilots are responsible for the conversion training.

  Our third squadron is being planned, but we have not decided in the end choose the Chinese version of the MiG-21 fighter - the Chengdu F-7 series, which one.

  Stand the test engine

  JF-17 fighter Xiaolong engine chosen Russian Klimov RD-93 engine, this stems from the use of MiG-29 RD-33 turbofan engine in the area of inter-fuel and renovations are behind the Western countries, but the origin of proverbial work in the Soviet Union in the stability and reliability make it a reputation, especially in the airport infrastructure is not so modern state. "We have been using this engine flew over 7000 hours, there have been no problems." Air Force Brigadier General Mahmoud said. This engine is too much to force, although not equipped with full digital engine control system, but it's a digital electronic engine control system through the intervention of the engine before the pilot management decisions, so carefree in the operation. Under adverse circumstances airport conditions may be extended gliding distance of more than 2133 m, ie at sea level environment of 25至30 ℃'s, JF-17 can be loaded with weapons and the ups and downs, which further proved its reliability.

  For weight JF-17 and further simplify the complexity of issues, Chinese engineers have found a way that is RD-93 is equipped with a program called divergent novel supersonic air intake inlet design. Compared with traditional designs, the inlet diverging supersonic DSI i.e. no moving parts, lighter, and easier to maintain. Hump located imported into the engine to slow the gas stream is designed to hide the surface of the engine compressor vanes, in order to minimize JF-17 has a low radar signature.

  Flexibility weapons

  Pakistan Air Force JF-17 provides the integration of new weapons at all mount points, and with Mil-Std-1760 aircraft / store electrical connection system flexibility. The digital interface eliminates the need to add a new weapon every need to reconnect aircraft. "We can buy any weapon in the free market, in their own country will install them on the JF-17," Air Force Brigadier General Mahmud said: "We have conducted a flight test team consisting of engineers and pilots, they are a separate preparation of the flight test group constituted by the Pakistan Air Force to complete the entire process. "

  With PL-5EII missile equipped, Air Commodore Mahmud asked if the helmet display system will become part of an upgrade in the future. He confirmed that the development of this ability has been carried out. "For when we do not have to complete the integration process of the exact time, but we have opened up the first batch of the integration process equipment.

  Sensor

  JF-17 is used to combat the main sensor, KLJ-7 radar was developed by the Nanjing Institute of Electronic Technology.According to reports, it was the J is - has 10 R & D can match a smaller version of SD-10 missile range of KLJ-10 radar, which can be a standard two-air configuration. "We have the ability to carry four, but we do not want to do," said Air Force Brigadier General, said: ". JF-17 is a small aircraft, compared to the other two missiles, we need more fuel."

  In addition to the two outer wings with missiles SD-10, JF-17 standard weapon further comprises: mounting in the wing 2-3 external fuel tank of 1000 liters, and the center of the abdomen 800 liter container.

  According to the information given by Captain Ahsan, JF-17 is equipped with Tianwei for defense electronic warfare system is not Chinese origin. It has a complete ground support equipment, so the threat of the Pakistan Air Force to develop libraries and autonomous interference technology, consists of a central controller and four subsystem control: a radar warning receiver (RWR), missile warning system (MAWS), flame shells and chaff dispensers and a jammer.

  Captain Ahsan said: "It was a small plane, so the jammer can only plug-in."

  Exhibition on China Airshow 2012 JF-17 is equipped with China's KG300G electronic jamming pods, but whether the Pakistan Air Force also uses this feature has not yet been confirmed. According to the manufacturer's manual of this device adaptable, able to integrate into the above other electronic devices such as radar warning receiver and missile approach warning system.

  In-ground combat JF-17 main sensor can be used as a human inertial navigation / GPS systems to create continuous calculation bomb release point and the point of impact is calculated continuously visual patterns. These calculations are released and the point of impact associated with the take-off about the movement, and will affect the weapon after the release of gravity, speed and resistance, especially critical for GM bombs accurately launch.

CCTV disclosure Xiaolong fighter flight experience all the leaked oil spill four minutes

央视披露枭龙战机试飞遭遇漏油 4分钟全部漏光|枭龙战机|漏油|试飞_新浪军事

At 11:33 on November 24, 2013 CCTV I have something to say (976 participants)

Data Figure: Fierce Dragon in the 6th unit is test


  Source: CCTV-4 "China News"

  Date: at 12:00 on November 22 2013

  Reporter: Yang Shang Xiaohua Ding Yuqing Zhang Wenjing Air Force Station Reporter

  An aircraft from design to mature, there is a most critical aviation practice, that is, test, test not only to explore and test the limits of aircraft performance is no stereotypes and data, in many cases is to make normal is not normal to the plane flew looking for his design defects and method of operation. After 60 years of development, the Air Force test pilot team has been the first three test groups, the development of more than 100 flight test units, today's "into the Chinese Air Force", we went together to visit these "dancers on the tip." - test pilot.

  Reporter Zhang Wenjing: F -10 fighter plane shortly after going fielded forces, the original plan today was to test subjects for aerial parking, parking is a so-called air during the flight test pilot initiative off the engine and restart to test engine The start function. But this subject is high requirements for weather, visibility such as today, there is no way to conduct a test flight. A test that this battalion Liangwan Jun fighters test pilot, flight test mission Jian Shi assume there are already more than ten years.

  A test battalion Liangwan Jun: This aircraft air missile is the first one I played. Inside the cockpit interface, ergonomics in this regard, test pilot to mention the views of the designer is more and more.

  Reporter Zhang Wenjing: is how to operate most comfortable?

  A test battalion Liangwan Jun: Yes.

  Speaking Liangwan Jun, without mentioning the July 1, 2004 of "Life and Death 8 minutes' flight time Liangwan Jun Xiaolong fighter in the 12,000 meters altitude, the plane suddenly fails.

  A test battalion Liangwan Jun: Aircraft spill, and it spills quickly.


  This is the tower recordings danger occurs.


  Tower: hurry back field


  Liangwan Jun: understand that the fuel tank is now faster than consumption


  A test battalion Liangwan Jun: According to spill the speed and the distance from the airport, I might I can not look to the airport, the aircraft will be leaked oil.


  From all the oil leaked to find fault, just four minutes, the plane lost power, like a huge iron mound rapid fall from a height of several kilometers.Parachute or landing? Liangwan Jun select landing.

  Tower: Now height?

  Liangwan Jun: tall height field now 4800

  World aviation history, no successful powered aircraft landing is extremely rare, and that the aircraft is in a test phase, power reserve machine is also unknown if the aircraft's power is not enough, the result will be a landing plane crash.

  Liangwan Jun: I'm ready for normal landing gear

  Tower: Note Check the hydraulic

  At the height of 1100 meters from the ground, Liangwan Jun aligned with the runway, two minutes later, the plane to nearly twice the speed beyond the normal ground, Liangwan Jun experiencing life and death eight minutes later, successfully landing.

  This subject is called low-speed large table, participants from high-altitude aircraft dive down to get the maximum longitudinal acceleration, to test the structural strength of the aircraft and flutter characteristics. In this seemingly smooth flight lens, participants faced with the disintegration of the aircraft at any time.

  This is a live-fire missile shooting test mission, press the launch button test pilot after the accident happened, never out of the aircraft after the missile firing.

  This is a new type of transport to carry heavy equipment airdrop experiment, weighing 7.4 tons chariot model yet from the machine, the top of the bundle of four main parachute opened suddenly released, aircraft fuel, oxygen catheter pushed pull deformation, subject to air disintegration.

  But no matter how dangerous the situation, the test pilot, the aircraft back to the airport more than anything else.

  A former brigade commander Wang Wenjiang test: Generally, we will not easily give up. Because, after all, some of the new aircraft, pre-investment, including the development cycle is very long. If it is easy, sloppy parachute, causing many can not re-identify the cause of the failure, it will affect a lot of things, can also cause a lot of damage.

  Reporter Zhang Wenjing: In aviation there is such a set of data, one new aircraft from the flight to stereotypes, test average every 17 minutes, it will malfunction, test appears in the greatest danger, not only the engine stop, and like a spiral , tank fire, and with shells landing, etc., in each case are likely to lead to residual plane crash drama, it is also recognized worldwide as a test pilot, died recently from peacetime occupation.

  This is the Chinese test hospital cemetery built in 2006, nearly seven years, there are five test pilot buried here. 61 years, a total of 27 outstanding Air Force test pilot to die in the sky. Gang test pilots only 46 years old when the sacrifice of his wife has put this secret buried for 10 years, until just before his death Gang parents tell them.

  Gang wife Zhang Shufang: Nature of Gang of it, his parents knew that he was the matter confidential, (I say) We also occasionally by phone, said fine.

  It generations of test pilots and their families selflessly served and dedication, the national aviation industry have the appearance of a miracle. Now, the Air Force test pilot who has been the first of three test groups, the development of more than 100 flight test units, completion of national research 1200, thousands of records to refresh the aviation industry. CCTV reporter Southwest reported a test unit.

Chinese research Xiaolong fighter but had insisted

中国研枭龙战机曾因巴方坚持用西方武器耽误3年|枭龙|飞机|国防_新浪军事

First, market development is the precursor of military cooperation with foreign countries in foreign trade


  "Fierce Dragon" aircraft (the Chinese name FC-1, Pakistan called JF-17) is the Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute of China Aviation Industry Corporation belongs, Chengdu Aircraft Industry Corporation and China National Aero-Technology Import and Export Corporation as the main body, number of units involved in the development of the third generation of low-cost light multipurpose fighter. After the design, testing, prototype, test and use of foreign air force leader, now in volume equipped Pakistan Air Force.

  In the 1980s, in order to develop military trade international business, CATIC cooperation with exports to fly F-7 aircraft, Pakistan and other international markets opened after the Pakistan Air Force F-7 aircraft, expressed the hope to increase engine thrust, increasing aircraft range, installation of avionics systems with improved radar and other requirements, for which the Chinese export successor to the F-7 has done a lot to improve the program. The early 1990s, the Pakistan Air Force Research CATIC looking again to start to develop a new successor to the F-7 project. Several high-level contacts with the Palestinian side proposed a new replacement aircraft to be able to J-6, Q-5, F-7, "Phantom" Ⅲ and other second-generation aircraft, and to ask for help Pakistani progressive development of the aviation industry. After careful study of the Chinese side, the Palestinian side agreed requirements, from development of the "Fierce Dragon" aircraft opened a new prologue.

  Second, determine product positioning key foreign trade aircraft project

  With the new foreign trade machine task dawn, then what kind of new programs to meet user demands? CATIC Chengdu OEMs have been repeatedly demonstrated.

  There were two ideas: First, the J-7 improved, so the product may bear fruit quickly, but after analyzing the J-7 improved to meet the new requirements of the user's future unlikely. Another idea: Based on the number of countries in the international arena was the second generation to third generation replacement, the new program should make a move closer to three generations. Adhering lightweight, multi-purpose, low-cost basis, should highlight the following three points: First, install a low fuel consumption of the push turbofan engine, so a small plane to fly away; Second, fighters should be equipped with advanced avionics radar systems, guided medium-range missiles, improve operational effectiveness; Third, fighter designed to highlight the low-altitude maneuvering capability, a third-generation fighter aircraft characteristics. After full argument, decided to adopt a new program ideas all the preparatory second external work. Then organize relevant personnel, visited the push to find a suitable foreign turbofan engines.

  Under the conditions of the engine with the hope that the Chinese side missions to Pakistan to discuss the tactical and technical requirements of the Pakistan Air Force aircraft, the two sides discussed back and forth more than a year, although hear about, but not sure, then we take the initiative to prepare a brief tactical technical requirements, mission tasks including aircraft, aircraft layout and basic parameters of the main performance aircraft structural life supporting systems, avionics weapons, use and maintenance 35 requirements. Go and discuss Pakistan Air Force in early 1993, after briefing the aircraft tactical and technical requirements, then assistant chief of staff of the Pakistan Air Force plans, Pakistan Xiaolong PMO first director 穆沙夫准将 (for the Pakistan Air Force Chief of Staff Admiral after ), immediately said to the Palestinian side is such aircraft. And as a tactical, technical requirements (first edition), I hope the two sides according to these requirements, carry out the work.

  After two years of work, the reasons for Pakistan because of U.S. sanctions, calling for "Fierce Dragon" aircraft and then increase range, combat radius and external weapons containing bomb capability. Therefore, the first edition of the tactical and technical requirements, after the two sides repeatedly discussed, in the autumn of 1995 was revised to the second edition, that "Pakistan Air Staff requirements" (ASR), has been used so far.

  Third, the organization team and is the basis for the financing of projects undertaken

  Aircraft positioning and programs taking shape, then there are two issues to be resolved.

  First, organizational development team, the project developed into orbit. CASC based on current mission by the OEMs in Chengdu, facilities, technology and human resources and other factors to determine the "Fierce Dragon" borne by the Chengdu Aircraft Design, Testing, Cheng Fei bear manufacturing, test, and appointed a chief architect and field commander, from the "Fierce Dragon" aircraft developed into orbit Chinese military aircraft development program.

  The second is to explore new modes of cooperation, the financing of projects in development funding. "Fierce Dragon" is a foreign trade machine project, the state is no budget, CASC is not a bank, and plant by CATIC could get no money. How to do? The spring of 1994, the total tissue Aviation authorities, CATIC, Chengdu Aircraft, Chengdu and other units, friendly hotel opened in Beijing financing, at which we all support the development of foreign trade successor, and brainstorming, and finally it was decided : First, the introduction of foreign capital, fight for Pakistan investment of 10%. Later, after arduous negotiations between us and the Palestinians and coordination, Pakistan finally promised a 50% investment. Second, various domestic self, with "joint investment, joint development, risks, shared interests" (ie, a total of four principles) bear the investment pattern of the Chinese side: CASC first invested ten million yuan for the three starting fee ; auxiliary while other participating organizations go; CATIC bear External engine procurement contracts, consulting contracts and seat Mikoyan technology into other foreign parts procurement; design, testing tasks undertaken Chengdu; fly into bear prototype manufacturing and test mission plant, the self. AVIC, CATIC, Chengdu Aircraft, Chengdu Quartet signed four cooperation agreements later expanded Liyang engine companies, which implement and fund-raising organization created to open a path for the project.

  Fourth, stable and capable of negotiating team is guaranteed to win full authorization of the project

  Foreign trade negotiations with foreign countries in the process of local projects, a relatively stable organization capable of technical, business, finance, management closely negotiating team, to get the contract is very important.Throughout the negotiation process, more demanding users, large and small, made various demands and hundreds of questions. The whole process after several years, more than 20 draft and revise difficult negotiations, finally achieved the main body of the contract and Pakistan jointly developed the "Fierce Dragon" aircraft.

  As an example, in the course of negotiating the terms of the contract, the contract about a month away from the grass, the Palestinian side asked us to list the entire project of the year important technical working nodes, each node and other requirements, at least 50 nodes, on the grounds that Pakistan Air Force would like to apply for funding, fiscal year approved by the government is good. Pakistan said it was the Pakistani government's requirements, no this can not sign the contract. In our analysis, this requirement should be reasonable, but because in the past we did not accumulate in this regard, each node requirements given moment is really a big problem. If you return home to prepare, no time for fear of losing the opportunity to sign a contract grass, so I had to complete the negotiations on the Palestinian scene.Fortunately, we have a team in the design, manufacturing, management of personnel, we discuss best efforts to do overtime at night. We develop procedures and processes by project, using the top down approach decomposition system and professional technical content, listing key technical work subkey, and then make the appropriate workload and cost estimates, after more than 20 nights of hard work, finally did the 90 nodes of the project focused on the development of the entire contents of the technical work, schedule, required three-dimensional coordinate funding schedule. Pakistan expressed satisfaction After discussion, the table included later in this investment intensity and Pakistan jointly developed the "Fierce Dragon" aircraft main contract important accessory, and as parties in the implementation process of the development contract technical task four times a year and twice yearly financial audit review basis.

  After nearly a decade of both the results of the financial audit contract to perform technical tasks and previous assessment, and later re-summarize our internal, organize, enrich and refine the coordinate schedules, reserved for future internal and the external reference guide new contract.

  Fifth, to promote the construction of high-rise green channel is an important condition for the success of the project

  Leaders at all levels is an important condition for the support and concern of the project forward, "Fierce Dragon" Although there is no state investment projects, but leaders at all levels to actively promote that project past the one difficulty. At that time in the Air National Defense approved the sum of the "Fierce Dragon" aircraft project developed for the project to open a research permit foreign cooperation, when China and Pakistan Prime Minister attended the "Fierce Dragon" aircraft jointly developed by China and Pakistan and the development of a contract agreement in principle signing ceremony, so that the "Fierce Dragon" aircraft cooperation projects increased from corporate behavior CMB level of cooperation the two countries.

  In negotiations with foreign and domestic project development process, former vice minister of the Ministry of Aviation and the former king of Ang CATIC president Liu Guomin personally deployment, research strategy to tackle the problem. Plans to visit each of the negotiating team, the problem encountered in the negotiations outside referrals, after listening to the reports come back, there is a clear indication. I remember before we sign a contract with the Pakistan Air Force grass a day, Pakistan proposed the transfer of technology free "Fierce Dragon" aircraft finished attachment, requires the inclusion of contractual terms, the more stringent requirements, it relates to the interests of our plant by the airborne question, how should let the terms of the contract by, but also to protect the interests of airborne plant. Our negotiating team referrals to domestic research, along with our recommendations: "If the Palestinian side through another contract to build as 'Fierce Dragon' aircraft development system products accessories production lines, and these systems in the aviation industry and the finished product accessories factory system belongs produced, Pakistan only get their free production license. " Immediately to domestic fax referrals, then Vice Minister Wang Ang are traveling in Nanjing, Liu phone to explain the situation to find Minister Wang, Vice Minister Wang Ang immediately approved the agreement in a timely manner fax back to us. Less than two hours after we got the leadership instructions, initialed the contract to remove the obstacles to successful negotiations by the next afternoon.

  After returning home, we communicate this matter led to the airborne equipment factory, they reflect the view that good, both to protect our interests, but also for foreign cooperation opened the way our son, because the Palestinian side if the "Fierce Dragon" Finished built aircraft accessories line, must be done by the Chinese.

  Sixth, insist the goal together is an important driving force for the ultimate success of the project

  In retrospect, the "Fierce Dragon" project come easily.Some had worried that Pakistan can only take it? Funds can be resolved? Competent get out of it ? Pakistan had once insisted on Western avionics weapons systems, Western suppliers active in Pakistan, but Western governments strict control, supplier delays export license, for the delay to the project to develop a multi-year process time. Later, high-level effort by Pakistan, in February 2001 decision "Fierce Dragon" aircraft developed several steps: the first step is a simple flight instruments, allowing aircraft to fly; Step equipped weapon system as a whole aircraft avionics final state. This decision not only promote the development of aircraft, avionics and gave select weapons systems leeway.

  After this decision, the organization under AVIC, CATIC, Chengdu OEMs, host plant clinics are closely united airborne equipment, overtime, the use of highly parallel operations to speed up the development of the cross. In September, Chengdu "Fierce Dragon" aircraft passed the technical appraisal turn the detailed design stage, and then began to fly into the trial, on 25 August 2003 Xiaolong aircraft 01 successful maiden flight.

  Meanwhile Chengdu, CATIC intense and Xi'an, Luoyang, Nanjing and other units jointly recommended by the Chinese brothers and avionics weapons systems. After repeated visits Pakistan to discuss, the final choice of Chinese weapons systems recommended avionics fitted Xiaolong aircraft, and in June 2004 signed a contract to make the project go smoothly.Equipped with Chinese avionics weapons systems "Fierce Dragon" 04 all-state aircraft in April 28, 2006 a successful maiden flight.

  Seven, overall project management is the planning system to promote the scientific method

  In the "Fierce Dragon" aircraft development process, strengthening project management, to ensure technical quality, cost control, has taken some measures, and achieved remarkable results.

  In the "Fierce Dragon" project developed, the principle of overall planning are: first, the development of the financing, attract foreign investment and domestic users simultaneously raising the way, follow the "joint investment, joint development, risks, shared interests" principle. Second, the first meet user requirements abroad, taking into account some potential for development, both domestic air force and other international market demand, the current engine and part of the Department of Foreign airborne equipment procurement, as soon as the next step to consider localization. Third, in order to reduce the technical risk, control development and stand-alone costs, shorten the development cycle, to meet the tactical and technical requirements of the premise, as far as possible the use of sophisticated technology, conventional materials and shelf products. Fourth, try to use plants, the active design, testing, production methods and facilities, as soon as possible into the batch from the trial, the formation of a larger batch quantities delivered, resulting in economic benefits.

  In project management, project management of both China and Pakistan Office (PMO) in the implementation of the development contract, coordinate schedules for (ie CMB body said investment contracts strength meter), according to technical task node, using the technical tasks of each quarter half-yearly financial audit review and project management will be assessed (PMR) system. Due to strict management, contract execution 40 times more than a decade after the assessment will enable the development of prototype total funding level of control to achieve the ideal.

  Eight, long-term planning is the primary responsibility of leaders to seize the initiative by the organizers

  In the "Fierce Dragon" aircraft development process, successfully introduced a number of advanced design techniques and design concepts, using aerodynamic layout with a large edge, plus wire flight control system, to solve the problem of nonlinear longitudinal moment, the aircraft There are very good lift characteristics and excellent quality full flight envelope range. China's first use of "clamshell" inlet technology to effectively improve the intake efficiency, save aircraft structural weight. Equipped with a high-thrust, low fuel consumption, with digital power transfer turbofan engine, greatly enhance the range of aircraft, combat radius and endurance. All-electronic prototype overall coordination, long-life structural design methods, computer three digital-analog and digital design are passed directly to the use of technology manufacturing, improved product design, manufacturing quality and longevity, greatly shorten the development cycle of a new machine. "Fierce Dragon" aircraft are small, there are 7 to 9 plug-in points, and can carry a wide range of weapon types and can be precision-ground attack aircraft to enhance operational effectiveness. Aircraft for air-to-ground multi-tasking capabilities, extensive use of flexible use. The first time adoption of internationally accepted technical instruction (TO) system maintenance data and maintenance methods, integrated ground test equipment, improve aircraft maintenance, reducing life-cycle costs.Lightweight design features low cost, the aircraft has a broad market prospect.

  After I retired, Sang Jianhua, Yang Wei served as the "Fierce Dragon" aircraft designer, they do a better job in the perfect prototype, while leading the research team and CATIC, Chengdu Aircraft avionics along with winning the contract, weapons contracts, Pakistan co-production contracts and expanding air refueling, two-seater aircraft, aircraft information to enhance awareness, weapons and other modifications to improve combat capability, to create "Fierce Dragon" upgrade, actively carry forward advance preparation.

  Currently, there are many countries in the international community expressed its "Fierce Dragon" aircraft keen interest in Chengdu continue to visit, study, discuss, including some countries in Africa and South America, the market outlook, "Fierce Dragon" aircraft broader.

  Nine, to comply with the contract note is differentiated internal management requirements

  China and Pakistan jointly developed the "Fierce Dragon" aircraft contract, the provisions of the Palestinian experts involved in the project design, testing, prototype, test clause, which is reached by mutual covenants, we must abide by. In the early implementation of the Palestinian side proposed to enter the Chinese technical personnel office, working together with the Chinese technical personnel requirements, which seems to be a common problem, but actually involve internal confidential information, work environment, application tools, working methods, language exchange and other tasks with the "Fierce Dragon" has nothing to do and so on.

  How to do? After internal careful study, we propose the establishment by the chief architect of China's leaders, the foreign affairs department and technical management departments together, employ some professional experience in the field of old Pakistani experts working group, responsible for matters relating to Pakistan to participate in the development activities of the program.

  As we prepared to better plan specific, workable. After discussions with the Palestinian side, the Palestinian side is not only acceptable, but am very satisfied with both parties in the implementation process, and received good results, has been in use ever since.

  Andrei Chang mentioned several positive booth Pakistan is actively marketing its Xiaolong fighter. Andrei Chang said AVIC joint marketing and Pakistan Xiaolong fighter is actually a mature performance means international operations. Including the T-50, typhoons and other mature models, are using international joint marketing, Xiaolong also walking this path. When it comes to potential customers Xiaolong fighter, Andrei Chang said the Xiaolong fighter has its own unique market competitiveness, including the price and performance.In the international arms market, the Xiaolong fighter indeed sword easy road, at the same price fighter inside, has a more mature performance, and the performance of the aircraft in the same years, but has a special low price. Xiaolong not on the same level with the price, there are competing models. And the size of a light aircraft can attract a lot of countries to buy Chinese arms but not too rich. Andrei Chang said that according to his understanding, Zimbabwe could be the next potential customer Xiaolong fighter.

  Commenting on the development trend of the future fighter, Andrei Chang said the fighter is now gradually trends toward twin development. Including some of the less affluent countries are moving in heavy duty, twin fighter development.Moreover, four of the telex flight control system has become a standard in today's fighters.

If China and Pakistan need to Xiaolong fighter to the world, you can make the best Xiaolong has telex flight control system to make more competitive Xiaolong.

All JF-17's essentially have room for growth to include software and hardware improvements. Its modelled after the F-16 and so follows its philosophies.


yes that have been discussed and agreed with. The open structure design gives enough room for future up gradations and as you pointed, in this regard, JF-17 follows F-16!
There were some speculations as if the Blk-I will not be fitted with IFR probes or that will not happen any time soon. However now it feels that even during the Blk-II production, Blk-I will also be fitted with IFR probes. If there are massive changes then these will come when the plane is scheduled for over hauling etc

Don't mislead yourself and public. If HMD ever going to be integrated (until funding issues fade away). It would be this

China is developing a HMD/HMDS - No further details yet.
 
. . .
Looks similar because both have a south african input in their development
Indeed, the in flight probe is exactly that of the Cheetah. I have seen the Cheetah up close and it is exactly the same one. I am not surprised if the helmet mount too is south african; remember South Africa pioneered helmet mounted sights back in the 60s on the Mirage III. This matured further and went into the Cheetah as well as Rooivalk helicopter gunships.

Roland says Mach 1.6. The Engineer guys says 1.8.

The "cold" engine surfaces: I assume that will reduce the IR signature too.

At the start of the 3rd interview, in the office, you can see the 2-seater model on the trailer.

Roland termed blk-1 as 4th generation.
