There is no RAM on J-11B, wouldn't make a difference on a 25m^2 RCS. There is no proof China can even make RAM.
I love it when you make up stats... It just makes my day. The basic Su27SK (J11A) airframe has an RCS of 15m^2, look it up. So it really does your credibility the world of good when you shoot out figures like 25m^2, coz then the J11B would have to be a bomber. The J11B, has a reduced RCS of 3m^2. AGAIN LOOK IT UP.
Advanced aviation material industry is practically non-existent in China so whatever is imported can't be massed produced. The composite usage won't change much
.
The JF17/FC1 block 1, a 20million dollar low cost fighter, incorporates 8% of composite materials, I dont see how frontline PLAAF fighters could be afforded NO composites at all. How does a country so backwards that it has no aviation materials industry, manage to make sure a fighter as cheap as 20 million, which its own airforce does not operate, has almost 10% composite materials ratio?
J10B surface composites:
Different intakes will have a minimal affect on RCS, degrades engine performance in the trade-off.
WS-10A produces less thrust than the AL-31FN as well as leaking oil and cracking blades.
Well that says a lot about your actual technical knowledge on aerodynamics and radar return. I'm sure the F35 uses DSI's as well just for kicks. The whole point of a forum is to share and discuss information, not display your bittterness by DELIBERATELY spreading disinformation.
The AL-31FN produces 28100lbf and the WS10A produces close to 30000lbf, LOOK IT UP! If that's less thrust to you, I cant help you. We've had this discussion just 2 days ago, stop being a mule. Your "leaking oil and cracking blades" engine was the WS10, which was abandoned almost a decade ago, the J10B, J11B and J2002 all use the WS10A and its derivatives.
IRST should have been put on the A model. It has taken that long to clone the obsolete Flanker OLS-27
.
"A Chinese infra-red search and track (IRST) system developed by the Sichuan Changhong Electric Appliance Corporation, the Type Hongguang-I (Rainbow Light-I) Electro-Optical Radar (虹光-â… åž‹å…‰ç”µé›·è¾¾), is integrated with the J-10. It is a third generation optronics system utilising a HgCdTe focal array with imaging infra-red (ImIR) capability. Receiving its certification on 3 March 2005 and subsequently entering service with the PLAAF, the system was revealed to the public one year later at a conference on the Sichuan province of China, during which the system was demonstrated to visiting officials. Based on the limited information released, Type Hongguang-I has a maximum range of 75 km.
Although the Type Hongguang-I was designed to be lighter and more compact than similar Russian systems so that it could be fitted in the nose of J-10 while leaving enough space for a suitable radar, the current production model J-10 does not have enough space and must carry a podded version externally on one of the aircraft's hardpoints."
Instead of posting what you wish was true, post actual facts that you actualy LOOKED UP from verifiable sources. Dont be pathetic, OLS-27 indeed
J-10A is on par with an early block 5 F-16. J-10B would move it up to block 20
.
Link please? A verifiable one at that. Something you didn't pick up in a forum, because I'm sure no one is quoting your "facts" on Russian forums.
J-10A flies with a Russian radar.
The J10A flies with the KLJ 10 pulse doppler, of which a simplified version - the KLJ 7 - is derived and used on the JF17. Please LOOK IT UP. You just trolling now, and its more pathetic than usual.
"In November 2007 the PAF and PAC conducted flight evaluation of the pre-production aircraft fitted with a variant of the NRIET KLJ-10 radar, designed and built by China's Nanjing Research Institute for Electronic Technology (NRIET), and the LETRI SD-10 active radar homing AAM."
