A nice article on 15 squadron in Paf "Second to none magazine".

This article mentions 29,000lb of thrust - but the context is a bit vague to determine if that is the max possible from the engine - or just what was used at that point in time.

Thanks for sharing. Nicely written. But not much technical data. The engine thrust is rated at 29,000 LBS. i though and read on this forum the thrust is 32000 lbs max. another information previously not talked about is voice interaction system.

There is maximum thrust and then there is maximum thrust that you routinely use in training. Supposedly Russian engines have a "training mode" that is used to preserve engine life in routine training. Wonder if something similar is used for WS-10.

By that inference - it is a X-31 and the Gripen too.

A lot of designs look similar because it is just good science. If something works why try to change it just for trying to look different?

Same reason why the J-31 resembles a F-35 with some F-22 influences because aerodynamics and electromagnetism dictate it to be a good compromise to achieve a goal.

That is indeed what I meant to imply. a lot of designs have been studied and a design similar to J10 has been studied and a design resembling that soviet fighter bomber too.
