Chengdu J-10

Speculation has abounded about the evolution of the Chinese fighter jet, j-10 Some people believe that the design of the plane j-10 is inspired by the "Lavi" "lavy" a failed Israeli attempt to build a national aircraft f16 ..
In December 2006 the Chinese government announced on fighter aircraft j-10 Chinese television broadcast pictures and movies from the plane j-10 fighter and it was clear that the Chinese fighter plane will be one of the finest fighters in the coming decades ..
This is due the beginning of the development of fighter aircraft to China in October 1988 which was originally designed to be a fighter sovereign air ..
The eighties witnessed a number of similar designs are characterized by a major pavilion in the form of Delta.
The wing-shaped delta wing is a triangular level it provides two dynamic properties of the Hoaiitin Fighters:
First: the front edge of the flat wing of the plane, which is in the form of Delta remain steadfast to shocks resulting from the air the plane's nose is running faster than the speed of sound, making the wing in the form of Delta Hoaltsamim effective and dynamic planes that speed exceeds the speed of sound
II: The leading edge of the wing in the form of Delta, which produces a large and whirlwinds that are associated with the upper surface of the wing angle of attack during maneuvers higher.
In addition to the wing in the form of Delta provides increased ability to survive and to resist the currents of air.

* In 1993, they have been building the first prototype of the plane j-10 ..
But the test showed air tunnels possible defects when flying low speeds but less-than-expected speed when less than sound ..
At the same time there was an increasing trend to the continued development of fighter aircraft, which led to the development of fighter aircraft with a specific purpose such as aircraft carrying supersonic and that its speed exceeds the speed of sound, which are tasks (Joe - Joe) or (Joe - the land) and that to increase the possibilities of its functions ..

* The first test flight of the j-10 engine in 1996 with the assistance of the Russian
al31-fn turbofan It took two years before you can j-10 plane, the first successful test flight in 1998
In the year 1996 China had 6 main models of the plane j-10 used in Alokhtarat
Istkhaddmo 4 of them in flight tests and 2 tests are performed without air

* In late 2000, there were nine examples of the j-10 aircraft carried more than 140 flight hours
* The first flight model of the final pre-production on 28 June 2002
* At the beginning of 2003, ten models of the plane j-10 was deployed in military areas of the city Nagnj training and measurement of efficiency in military operations.

* The development will not stop China started construction of a two-seat models of the plane j-10 for training and missions (air - ground) and this two-seater version of the plane j-10 (Training - Fighter)
Pre-flying models of the two copies of the j-10 single engine and twin-engine successfully.

* Has won the fighter aircraft j-10 on confidence since the beginning of production in 2002.

* It is expected that when completed the development and modernization of the Chinese fighter j-10 it becomes obvious that they are interested in expanding the capabilities (Joe - Joe) and the transition from the original idea which aircraft (air defense) to the multi-plane capacity (grenade launchers). Perhaps the change in the Chinese report from the plane of the j-10 (fighter jet, j-10) to (attack aircraft j-10) is the best proof of this ....

* The Russian involvement in the plane j-10 is not confined to the engine Russian
al31-fn turbojet, but also included advanced radar equipment and air navigation system of identification of targets and warning system against missile defense system of the plane

* The production of the plane j-10 is able to adapt to the current development trends in addition to the use of other technologies (such as Russia and Israel) for the benefit of the final product. And the results are promising.

* The aircraft are expected to raise the capacity of the tactical offensive of the Chinese Air Force ..
Some sources say that this plane had purchased Syria and Iran
