Chengdu J-10, History, Performance & Discussion

Do you have a source for this claim?
Because from a control surface perspective, Meteor is very similar to AMRAAM, and the throttleable Ramjet just gives it infinitely more thrust to maneuver over range at the cost of decrease performance under 20km

Unlike axisymmetric designs like the AIM-120, the Meteor missile’s largest lifting surface generates greater normal force than other surfaces, forming a lift-generating body configuration. Consequently, it primarily employs BTT (Bank-to-Turn) control during most of its flight trajectory, only switching to STT (Skid-to-Turn) during terminal guidance engagement to avoid adverse airflow effects on its intake caused by significant sideslip angles.The Meteor’s propulsion system can tolerate high angles of attack and small sideslip angles, but it cannot handle negative angles of attack or significant sideslip angles.

I’m pretty sure it’s AESA because there were photos of its ground wreckage after the aerial battle in May, very clearly showing AESA

It’s not AMRAAM-ER.

I was referring to the Meteor

Got no idea what you are on about.

thanks for correct, never known this pod

AESA seeker is a massive advantage in terms of guidance quality, target aquisirion and datalinking.
This is the reason that MDBA and Japan are working together to put the AAM4B seeker onto a Meteor

That was canned

We have missiles in game that should be AESA

What missiles?

Where is it from? I’ve never seen anything about an AMRAAM-ER being air launched

Nevermind

J-10 doesn’t have much to do with Lavi, the rumors still exist due to the J-9 program being underrepresented.

the aerodynamics design. F-35 sacrifice too much for the ability of carrying 2000lb in cabin, the problem is fat not intake.
and to be precise, current non-adjustable DSI is not always better, usually designed for specific speed range(usually around battle speed not top speed), it performs not so good when out of the range. Its benefits are more about stealth and cutting off weight.

Looks like j10c will be straight down grade over j10a in terms of flight performance, it’s got same engine and will likely be heavier and less top speed

Wdym? J-10C uses Al31F series 3, when 10A only AL31FN

The J10C uses WS10Bs dawg

Early aircraft used the AL-31F
