PLAN's AWAC for aircraft carriers have been finished!

[Hafizzz]

leaks from CD: the project Chinese AWAC for aircraft carrier has been finished.it is a sub-project of Chinese AC group.

Pupu's leak is consistent with another famous active leaker on CD "Pushen".

Pupu is famous for he leaked the information of J11B first while Pushen is famous for he leaked the information of J15 first.both leaked one were confirmed by later reports from Janes and Kanwa.

Go China Go

What the hell is with that first emblem. It conspicuously different from PLAA's.

sorry,you misunderstood the information,what he was trying to say is carrier-based AWAC program have entered a critical stage, phototype or maiden flight?he didn't make it clear ，but i am pretty sure it haven't been finished yet...... it was only one part of the 048 AC Project which was a big plan and well-known among chinese military enterprises .anyway，the plane is useless unless we make a breakthrough in steam or electromagnetic catapult

Why not modify a J-10S into a mini-AWAC? It will be much simpler.

 

[SomeGuy]

But why does that aircraft have the USAF roundel on it?

As a fighter aircraft and a medium-sized one at that, it would have a low loiter time compared to a turboprop. Plus, you have to navalise it first. If you're gonna convert a fighter aircraft into an AWAC, the J-15 would be a better option, as it has higher loiter time and is already navalised.

You really believed that it's the actual aircraft?

That's why you have aerial refuelling. Although it's not as convenient as having a massive fuel tank, the method is decent. A large AWAC aircraft would take up a lot of space and it's pretty much screwed if it comes into contact with enemy fighters. It also forces the aircraft carrier to carry three types of aircraft: (1) air defense fighters J-10C, (2) strike fighters J-15, and (3) the AWAC.

If you can convert a J-10S or J-10C into an AWAC, you can have multiple roles for one plane, thus increasing the flexibility of the carrier planes.

I don't think j-15 can act as an AEWAC rather it may can act as AEW and share information with other aircrafts and ground radars because for AEWAC configuration lot of room and space is required where you can house a large number of equipment

im pretty sure thats just to show what it might look like, obviously that plane is american but used as an illustration.

ehh...u think any J-10 series fighters can pump enough juice for the operation of a AESA radar?
THIS IS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE!

Most of his ideas are kind of nutty. Just imo.

Probably but its not worth it to make them an AWACS for the PLAN. The radar won't have a range and combat radius comparable to the chinese version of the american awacs.
Is the J-10 going to be navalized? with the J-15 is it really needed? And it being single engined is it worth it?
