1. Is it a J 10 officially equipped unit?
According to "China Aviation News", "A new fighter plane with independent intellectual property rights developed by China has been designed and finalized, and has been formally equipped with troops! The successful development of the new fighter has written an epoch-making chapter in the history of China aviation development. " This is the first time that China officially confirmed that J- 10 was officially installed, which solved the mystery that has puzzled military fans for several years.
6. When was J 10 established and what was its development background?
According to China Aviation News, 20 years ago, when foreign advanced third-generation fighters began to be equipped and applied in actual combat, China aviation people felt great pressure and responsibility. At that time, the current situation faced by China aviation industry was low level, poor foundation and obvious talent gap. It is from this starting point that the pioneers in the development of new fighters started a great pioneering work ―― developing the third generation fighters adapted to the cross-century operational environment. In the early 1980s, the development of new fighters adopted international advanced technology, with new technology and high requirements, and the number of new materials and finished products completely broke through the international practice of developing a new aircraft. Beijing 1986 Spring. In a humble office, the leader of the science and technology commission announced that the new aerodynamic layout scheme is the overall scheme of a new generation of fighters in China. Subsequently, the 56-year-old Song was appointed as the chief designer of the new fighter by the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.
According to foreign media, the project verification research of J-10 began in the 1980s, when the aborted J -9 fighter was designed by Chengdu Aircraft Company and the 8th1Aircraft Design and Research Institute (delta wing pneumatic layout with canard, with a speed of Mach 2.5, is a typical air defense fighter, and its operational targets are MIG -29 and the Soviet Union). Later, the situation changed greatly (Beibei judged that the honeymoon period between China and the United States was over). In 1988 (this time is not right, it should be1986-beibei quoted), the design of this new fighter is repositioned as a medium-sized multi-role fighter with new technology to replace the huge J-6, J-7 and J-7 of China Air Force.
3. When will the first flight of J-J 10 be successful and when will the troops be equipped?
According to China Airlines, on the afternoon of March 23, a certain year, at 2: 40. At an airport in Chengdu, with a roar, 0 1 new fighters shot into the sky like sharp arrows. The meteorological conditions were not ideal that day, but Lei Qiang, a national meritorious pilot, took the initiative to fight and flew again after flying three times at a predetermined altitude. The wonderful flight was exciting, and the beautiful passing made the audience jump for joy. The gently flapping wings expressed Lei Qiang's inner excitement and pride, and showed his skillful and superb flying skills. When Lei Qiang flew the plane across a beautiful arc and landed smoothly on the runway, thunderous applause and cheers broke out at the airport, and people shook hands and hugged excitedly and were ecstatic. Lei Qiang, who got off the plane, said with great excitement: This is the real fighter!
The "March 23rd of a certain year" here was verified as "1March 23rd, 998", and this day was designated as the successful date of J- 10' s first flight in China. According to foreign media, the first prototype of J-10 actually made its first flight in the middle of 1996, and 1998 was the greatly improved prototype No.03 ... In order to successfully develop J- 10 and equip the troops as soon as possible, Cheng Fei General Motors * * produced five. Two ground test platforms, machine number1008-1009; The first of two pre-production J-10 also made its first flight on June 28th, 2002. Since February 2003, at least seven pre-produced J-10 aircraft (aircraft number10/0-10/6, without radar) have been provided to the China Air Force for operational test and evaluation, while the rest remain in Yanliang, Shaanxi. At the end of that year, the flight test of J-10 was fully completed and the "birth certificate"-production license was obtained. Please look at the two paragraphs in the public report of China Aviation News: "On February 25th, 2003, with the test pilot Xu Yongling accurately hitting the target aircraft, the test flight of the new aircraft and even the whole key project came to a successful end. It was really a hard test flight, and it was done in one shot. China Airlines has been waiting for this day for twenty years! Twenty years later, the new machine has finally been ground into a blue sky sword! " "At the end of 2003, a new domestic digital telex plane successfully completed the test flight according to the nodes. How many people cried with joy! The heroic spirit of the new soldier, the smartness of flying in the blue sky, the agility of catching the target and the power of erupting anger. All this makes every China contemporary aviation person not excited, not proud, not excited! " According to foreign media reports, the production J-10 was officially installed in China Air Force in August 2004. It is quite credible that the first fighter regiment equipped with J- 10 (possibly belonging to the 44th Aviation Division of Southwest India) will form its initial combat capability by the end of 2005.
4. What are the key technologies used in 4.J 10/0?
J- 10, as an advanced fighter that can adapt to the air combat environment in the 20th century, has adopted many new technologies. Beibei can only list one or two according to public reports:
⑴ Digital fly-by-wire flight control technology. According to China Aviation News, "To meet the tactical requirements of the world's advanced level, we should not only choose a feasible overall scheme, but also break through a series of major key technologies. Among them, the design of digital fly-by-wire flight control is a brand-new technology in China. As one of the four key technologies, its success or failure is directly related to the success or failure of the overall scheme. Once an accident happens, it will definitely lead to the destruction of the plane. In foreign countries, all aircraft using digital fly-by-wire flight control technology have experienced similar tragedies. " 1One day in March, 996, in the "Iron Bird" experimental hall, the spectacular "Iron Bird" platform stood still and was ready to go. Yang Wei stepped into the "Iron Bird" test cockpit. Outside the cabin, dozens of pairs of eyes watched him nervously. Turn it on! Turn on the hydraulic pressure! Gas door! Run! Take off! Various indicator lights flash alternately, and the whole test process is smooth and smooth. The test results show that the system runs normally! The test of the fly-by-wire flight control system was successful! This is the success of China without any development experience! ..... It is this advanced flight control system that has played an important role in ensuring the success of the first flight of new fighters, making the digital fly-by-wire flight control system, which is extremely risky, technically difficult and worrying, the most reassuring system for test pilots. "
According to foreign media, J-10 is designed for "relaxing static stability" and adopts a four-degree fly-by-wire flight control system. This is the first time that China fighters have adopted this state-of-the-art flight control system. Previously, China Air Force tested the redesigned fly-by-wire flight control system with a specially modified 歼 8Ⅱ technical verification machine. The test results show that the J-10 fly-by-wire flight control system should be a product independently developed by China. It can be seen that J- 10, like other advanced weapons and equipment in China, is also the result of collective cooperation, and Shen Fei has also contributed to this key technology.
(2) Avionics system. This is another key technology of the new fighter. According to China Aviation News,1May 1996, the third generation avionics comprehensive test with the largest scale and the most complicated system in China was successful! It not only narrowed the gap with foreign countries, but also achieved a new breakthrough in the development technology of China's air power system and filled the gap in the field of air power technology in China.
5. How about the development of J 10 model?
Terms such as "model development" and "model test flight" have been mentioned many times in the report of TravelSky, which has not attracted the attention of many military fans. The development of "model development" logo 歼 10 has entered the stage of improvement and modification; The success of the "model test flight" shows that the corresponding model has been successfully developed.
Based on all the news, Beibei judged that at least three models of J- 10 have been successfully developed or are under development.
(1) 歼 10A. This is also the single-seat basic type of J- 10. It is reported that the first batch of J-10A is 50, and the J- 10 production capacity of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Corporation is two per month.
⑵υ 10B。 This is a two-seat modification of J- 10. As a supplement to the single-seat J-10A basic model, it successfully made its first flight in February 2003. Major improvements: The fuselage has been lengthened to accommodate the rear cockpit and increase the fuel load. Foreign media speculated that J- 10B was not a trainer, but a fighter-bomber, or an electronic warfare/air defense suppression type.
⑶ ⑶ 10C。 This is the planned naval model, which should be a twin-engine carrier-based fighter, and J-10 needs to be redesigned. This possibility exists, and Beibei will talk about it later. Two points were mentioned in the report of TravelSky: First, the front landing gear of the new aircraft is made of ultra-high strength materials, which is very difficult to process and obviously exceeds the demand of ordinary land-based fighters; 2. A certain J- 10 aircraft has successfully carried out the ejection test flight. Do land-based fighters need to take off by ejection?
[6] [6]10 What does "successful ejection test flight" indicate?
In the report of China Airlines, "ejection test flight" was mentioned many times. Beibei thought she had misread or misspelled the words in the original text at first, but after careful study, she found that this was not the case: "... that was in the first ejection flight test of the new plane." Because of the heavy responsibility, the operators of photoelectric theodolite are very nervous, afraid that they can't catch the target and get the ejection data, and they won't give ejection instructions for a long time. At that fleeting moment, Zhou Ziquan, the chief flight test engineer, grabbed the phone at the airport and ordered the ejection:' I am responsible for the problem!' The excited voice surprised all the people present. The ejection was successful, and General Manager Zhou took a long breath. The phrase' I'm responsible for what happened' contains a lot of pressure and choices. "
As we said before, land-based fighters do not need to carry out "ejection test flight". Can this explain the following two points? First, the naval model 歼 10 does exist. Beibei believes that this "ejection test flight" is most likely for the subsequent naval model 歼 10; Secondly, because of the successful test flight of J- 10 ejection, the aircraft carrier catapult that troubled us was successfully developed; Third, China's aircraft carrier plan has been implemented, and this inference should be a natural thing.
⒎j 10 has the ability to refuel in the air?
There is no doubt about it. Please look at the report of China Airlines: "In order to complete the aerial refueling test flight of the new aircraft, the test flight team made a lot of preparations in advance. Zhang Jingting, the head of the team, personally drove the oil receiver and tanker for' underarm refueling' training. The plane was very close and could clearly see the rivets and logos of the other plane. " "Finally, Zhang Jingting and the test pilots finally found the correct problem by carefully analyzing and watching the video materials and combining the successful experience of refueling at home and abroad. In the actual flight test, the test pilot adopted the flight test method of looking at the taper sleeve from the corner and approaching gradually, and finally successfully completed the' strategic docking' of the new machine. Beibei believes that it is no exaggeration to say that this is a "strategic docking"!
What about the "heart" of ⒏ 10?
"Heart disease" is a common problem in China's weapons and equipment, whether it is flying in the sky, running on the ground or swimming in the water. People are naturally very concerned about the situation of J- 10. This point was not mentioned in China Airlines' report.
It is said that in 200 1 year, Russia provided at least 54 aircraft engines of AL-3 1FN to China at one time. It is true that J- 10 used Russian-made engines in its initial production. However, Russia refused to issue a production license for this type of engine to China. In order not to be controlled by others, the following models must adopt newly developed domestic engines. It is reported that China's more advanced vector engine is under intensive development, which can greatly improve the maneuverability of J- 10.
What is the performance of ⒐ 10?
The cockpit design of J-10 basically got rid of the design style of the former Soviet fighter familiar to China's military industry, and the avionics equipment adopted a more ergonomic design combination: large-screen head-up display, three-liquid crystal multifunctional head-up display, throttle and push rod control system, data storage system, advanced automatic navigation and meteorological data computer and helmet sight. This makes J- 10 have the style of a modern fighter, and it showed the king's style from the beginning.
According to the news from an electronic technology exhibition in China, domestic JL- 10A radar may be used in J- 10A radar, which is an advanced multimode airborne radar. Its performance can refer to relevant information.
歼-10 has a powerful weapon system: equipped with a semi-buried double-barrel 23mm gun; There are 1 1 pylons under the fuselage, of which 6 are under the wing, 1 is on the lower central axis of the belly, and the other 4 are on the lower side of the belly. It can be inferred that the external load of weapons should be more than 5 tons, which provides greater selectivity for weapon configuration. J- 10 can mount PL-8 short-range combat bombs and domestic PL- 12 medium-range interceptors when performing air combat missions, and has the ability to launch Russian-made R-73 short-range combat bombs and R-77 medium-range bombs. You can carry a variety of domestic or Russian air-to-ground precision guided/unguided weapons when carrying out ground attack missions.
⒑ How does J ⒑j- 10/0 compare with similar fighters in the West?
歼-10 is the third generation medium fighter, and its combat performance should be no less than that of F- 16C and Mirage 2000-5.
