    Other than opening yourself (and the forum) up to legal challenge and potentially being sued.

    I said i will respect the forum and i will just give the link so people can click on it and it to pop up, but i would not past the picture each in everytime and acknowledge the author, vanity bores me and tires me vanity at the end, if there is a legal problem by pasting the picture well i will stop it, it is not a hard thing, i will give just the link but you can not force me to do the other way of pasting and naming i feel confortable by just giving the link to people to click on it rather than pasting it and naming the author or share pictures i have taken ,my own pictures with no copyright attached i do not need anyone to say Flogger`s picture, copyright sometimes sounds like idolatry.

    You just dont care do you flogger, what is so hard about writing ‘copyright Joe Bloggs’ or whoever it is on the bottom of the photo? Or copying and pasting the link the photo came from?

    The fact is that the photo is copyright, I see the 1st few shots still havent got any sort of credit relating to the photographer.

    It is the rules of the forum, if you dont like them, go and annoy another forum.

    hehehe you got upset, man i will respect the forum and i will stop URL images like i have done before but do not blame me because i do not bow down to each in every person for taking a picture, is just vanity, the true happiness is the happines you give to others by the picture not that everybody says thanks mister X for your great artistic view just to pamper Egos or flatter people.

    I’m sorry you feel that way, Flogger, but that’s the way it is.

    If you’re posting pictures taken by someone else, you have to either give them due credit or just post a link to the picture rather than the picture itself.

    Apart from anything else, it’s simple good manners.

    Please do one or the other in future.

    i will post the link, i do not think i am doing anything wrong but since the world is based on certain rules i will keep them in order to keep cordiality, nevertheless i do not think i had no manners, the issue is not of manners but of money; if someone is making money with their pictures something i am not doing i am just watching them and sharing my aesthetic view of a really beautiful plane to my eyes one of my favorites without doubt.

    I feel it is more an issue of vanity rather than manners, i am not unpolite but some people have egos who need to be pamper, too much vanity to acknowledge each in every picture i post hehehehehe come on that is absurd.
    when the only thing i am doing is linking an automatic picture hehehehe that is ridiculous, an elithist view, if i were making money or profit i would understand is like making illigal CDs but posting the pictures like i am doing is just playing music for my friends at a Party because i am not profiting from them.

    Do not worry i will link the pictures but that is so absurd like playing music on a cassete at a party and dance and call each and every singer and ring her or him to ask them if i can play the music.

    The picture has it`s original URL in fact it is the base, without it we could not watch it but some people get upset with that technology because their egos get hurt.

    Is there a point of this thread besides acknowledging the fact that there is an IL-86 and an IL-96?

    everything depends in how much we know about the airplane and if you like and enjoy the airplane by it self.

    I hardly know any thing about the aircraft besides very little i have read and some specifications that are quit available.

    I have seen it only in videos and pictures and i know that each aircraft really looks a little bit different if you are face to face with the jet.

    Quite apart from the copyright issue (which is a very real one) the problem is that you’re not giving the people who actually took the pictures the credit they deserve, Flogger.

    Unless, of course, you took them – in which case, my apologies. πŸ™‚

    So do you suggest me i should link the pictures so the people just click on the link and the pictures pop up? in that case would it be a violation of the copyright?
    I think pasting pictures is exactly the same but you do not need to click in the link, it is the same thing because you will use the original URL, same web Address in both cases but people would not need to click to see it i was trying to save you people the need to find out and click what link it is and what picture it is.

    I did not take the pictures but beyond looking and them and trying to share my delight by the airplane with others i am not using them in any other way.
    if you think a click will respect the copyright i will do it.

    Acknowledege the pictures author in each and every picture is quit tiring i prefer simply link them, specially becuase almost all threads fade away so fast and are forgotten so easily than even after a week nobody cares for them in the vast majority of cases.

    But by the sake of each and every author what more acknowledgement they can have if they are making happy and full of joy people who are simply looking at their pictures and nothing beyond that? i am simply sharing my delight by the airplane in a beautiful picture and nothing else

    In fact i see no difference in this look beyond the fact in one you will need to click while in the other the image URL is displayed automatically without clicking on it but both are the same URL and web address

    they are links, not attachments is there any trouble with it?
    If it is well i erease them, but since they are links i feel i am not violating any copy right am i?

    the Images are directs links to the google image webpages.
    these are image links, since the original web address is linked to the post and appears as an image instead of clicking you have the image there but it is the original web address i do not think links break any copyright regualtions do they?

    Wholeheartedly agree with AtAC. Deino, in your quest for paper projects, you must be careful to avoid the Stavatti-trap*… there is a huge difference between serious paper projects, and vapourware.

    Not really. Taiwan has roughly 150 F-16s, 60 Mirage 2000-5s and 124 F-CK-1s. PLAAF J-8II fleet probably only number around the low 300s IMO. It looks to me, the J-8IIs only play a support role to the J-11s and J-10s.

    I said relatively, not absolutely, if we see China has almost a J-8II per each F-16, Mirage 2000 and IDF Ching Kuo, if you add the J-7 and Su-27MKK PLAAF`s fleets, Taiwan ends up having a big air force to defeat.

    Of course we are not talking of an absolute superiority for example the Su-15 was build in much larger numbers close to 1400 were build to cite a comparable aircraft.
    For Chinese productivity the J-8II is a sophisticated machine and hard to build besides in 2005 is an obsolete design but against smaller nations such as Vietnam, Thailand, Bangladesh, Australia and others, the sheer numbers of J-8IIs is an impressive force to reckon with.

    The latest variants of J-8II with inflight refuelling, BVR AAMs and advanced avionics are a match for earlier F-16s and Mirage 2000s

    china is a huge country. alot of airspace to defend. and china also need to keep large reserves of its best fighters ready to respond to possible conflicts on its east coast.

    J10s and J11s would be wasted if used for sentury duty. thats where J7s comes in handy – cheap to build and use, so they can be ready to respond to incursions into chinese airspace at a monments notice (or supposed to be able to at least).

    also, since there are J7s on alert all over the country, there is no need for J10s and J11s to be there at the same time (or at least less of them would be needed). this means that fewer J10s and J11s would be needed in all, which = a massive saving, money that can be better spent on other things like R&D for example.

    the J8s are fast interceptors mainly used near the east coats. their decent speed allows them to be able to quickly intercept unwelcom ac near china’s coast and make sure they dont ‘accidentally’ cross the line.

    they can also quickly respond to the PLAN surface fleet’s request for air support, and if nothing else, be able to buy time for the ‘heavy weights’ to get in position and engage the enemy before the surface fleet are all sunk by hostile aircraft.

    the Finbacks’ speed and ceiling should also afford them a slight BVR advanatge over most in service fighters and allow them to make hit and run attacks to wear down/ bog down/ break down the enemy fighter formations with reletively little cost before the main force of flankers and J10s get stuck in.

    the JH7 is an inexpansive and fairly effective anti-shipping platform – for effective then the MKKs in fact. the JH7s can also use chinese PGMs to suplement the Su30s in the ground attack role.

    the russian reluctance to help intergrate chinese weapons onto the flankers means that the JH7 is most likely to be tasked with the great bulk of bombing missions in any possible future conflict, while the flankers would likely to saved to use against the most well defended targets.

    the Q5 is in a totally different class as any other warplane in the PLA. its designed to perform the same role as the A10 and Su25, which a fragile fighter is plainly not suited to do. not only are multi-role fighters more prone to be shot down or damaged providing sustained CAS, they are also way overkill to be used in such role, where all their fancy eletronics and superior agility doesnt really count for all that much.

    the newest Q5 verson now also adds a PGM option for the fantan.

    not only do all the planes have important roles within the PLA, they are also important to the economy, as their continued existance keeps large numbers of people employed.

    they also help to maintain a huge pool of specialist labour and machinary, which can be fairly easily and quickly re-tasked to make other military products should the need for that arises.

    so in a way, its a welfair and stragegic reserve built in one, and the military gets cheap and efficient (at the jobs the planes are indended) planes out of the deal too.

    in a way, i feel that by keeping the older stuff in opertation for a little longer, the PLA is making savings on the number of 3rd/4th gen fighters they need to buy in the short term. this allows them to spend more money on 5th gen and UACV designs and so may be able to leapfrog a half a generation or more in the medium to long term.

    The J-8II is often overvalued, in war relatively older weapons or simple weapons can be more effective than modern, sophisticated but expensive and low production ones if they are produced in large numbers.
    The J-8II is effective if we consider that Japan has a Large fleet of F-4II, India still operates large fleets of MiG-27, and by the exception of the US, and in less degree Russia, Japan and India no other air force in asia can oppose 400 J-8/J-8IIs just by the simple fact of the large numbers involved and the massiveness of the PLAAF fleet of fighters.

    The main Air Force to measure a modern Air Force in Asia is the USAF, after the Iraq war there is the common perception than a USAF equivalent will be the most effective attacking force.

    Iraq never had a large fleet of Fourth generation fighter the over hyped Iraqi Air Force of MiG-29 was very small and Iraq possesed a close 1:1 ratio in numbers with the USAF, it was mostly armed with third generation fighters while the USAF was armed mostly with fourth Generation fighters.
    10 MiG-21 versus 10 F-15 is hardly a match, 20 or 40 MiG-29 versus 400 F-15 or F-16 is hardly a match as Iraq or Yugoslavia fought.
    However 20 or 40 F-16s versus 300 J-8IIs well that is another thing

    An Air Force like Thailand or Vietnam in the other hand have few fourth generation fighters and even Taiwain relatively has few fourth generation fighters, that makes the huge fleet of J-8II still highly effective.

    In WWII P-51s were more than enough to defeat Me-262 simply by the numbers involved and that the P-51 even as obsolete it was versus the Me-262 still could shot down the ME-262 as a J-8II can shot down F-16 armed with only AIM-9s or the fact that in BVR the J-8II still can hold it`s own against earlier F-16 variants.

    The ME-262:P-51 number ratio in WWII assured that the USAF even it did not have an ME-262 equivalent could beat the more sophisticated german jet fighter with propeler driven aircraft like the P-51

    an important question will be how effective will be the F-22 versus large number of Gripen, Rafale, Eurofighter or in the Chinese case J-10s? if one hundred J-10s are enought to beat ten F-22 well a large fleet of J-10 is justified, same can be applied to the Eurofighter that according to it`s creator offers 90% of the F-22 capability by exception of all around stealth

    I see brazil and japan enjoying the same advantages in that both have promised Unkil to be “good” and not harbour missile and nukular ambitions – so they enjoy free and as-needed access to EU/US tech. if they pull in china certain amt of problems could arise in sharing of engine and electronic tech for instance. brazil should be able to seek low cost factories in central america if their own domestic labour is too costly…I dont think for high value stuff like commercial planes the labour cost matters that much..these are not $10 shirts they are selling where margins are wafer thin.

    Brazil needs China to get technology transfers and markets, the ERJ-145 is built in China under license and the ERJ-145 was chose by the Indian air force to become the next Platform for the IAF AWACS program.

    Brazil in Central America has only in Mexico a Joint program for the development of a Mexican naval surface to surface missile for sharing technology, but unless Mexico has a larger part in aircraft manufacturing something that could be in the 10-20 next years is unlikely that Brazil can stablish manufature plantsthere; in South America Venezuela will build the Embraer Tucano, Chile`s ENAER already is building parts for the ERJ-145.
    Only Chile and Argentina have the technology to build aircraft but both can teach little to Brazil that is the reason Embraer chose China and India as markets and sharing partners in tech transfers.

    [QUOTE=Hammer][QUOTE=Flogger]I do not think Japan is very different to Brazil, Brazil does not build 100% indigineous brazilian aircraft, Embraer leads the programs but is not able to build 100% Brazilian aircraft in fact Brazil and Japan are in the same level but Japan has something that Brazil lacks jet engines.[/QUOTE=Flogger]

    I beg do differ (I always wante to write this phrase… πŸ˜‰ ) my friend.

    The aerospace business has two sides to it, one technical the other business/marketing… Once you create the product you have to be able to determine the optimum size, pax carried, MTOW, fuselage width, engine to be used, etc. A plane may turn out to be a major failure if one or more of these key items is ill selected. A company may develop a technicaly flawless airplane and still fail to turn it into a commercial success. The only embraer aircraft absolutely tailored to exclusive Brazilian needs was the original Bandeirante. Every other aircraft has been developed with the world market in sight. The Brasilia, the ERJs and the new E170 family. although you are correct in pointing out that many of todays aircraft programs are multinational there’s three cases that are very different to me.

    a) Japanese involvement in the 787: a specific component or stucture is handed to a 3rd party for assembly and detail development. The 3rd party acts in a limited creativity function where it’s ability to obtain financing (at low rates) at the same time reducing the finacial exposure of the aircraft designer. If the aircraft is a failure in the market the burden is spread amongst the risk partners. Many times the sellection of the 3rd party draws government support to the aircraft wich presses local airlines to chose this aircraft, boosting early sales.

    b) A Eurofighter tipe of agreement: where four different companies get together to develop a single aircraft capable of fulfilling their clients requirement. Every one of teh companies is a co-creator and a BUILDER at the same time. Risk is shared, government support is obtained ad creative tasks are shared.

    c) Embraer 170 is the flip side of “a” one company understand the market requirements, talks in depth to clients, proposes optional configurations, selects the major risk sharing partners drafts the detailed project, establishes and calculates costs and weights and hands out sub-assemblies to be further deveoped by the 3rd party companies. This company has alone the reigns to direct any and every new direction the program will take in the future, what derivatives will be produced next. This is the company that could build the complete project if only it had any interest to do so… this is where you plant the seeds to be able to create new products in the future, definetly not in the sub assembly business…

    Please I dont mean to start a Brazil x Japan thread here. It is just that being in Brazil I know our examples better than other cases. πŸ™‚

    I must admit that we do lack a engine producing company in Brazil and tha it may be neede in the future, I hope the figure a way around this severe national technical shortcoming. πŸ™‚ [/QUOTE=Flogger]

    The T-4 simply is a 100% indigenously designed and build japanese product contrary to the AMX.
    The Embraer 170, series has japanese builts parts, in fact is a composite of several manufactures that is assambled in Brazil but is not a 100% indigenously built and designed Brazilian product.

    What Brazil is ahead of Japan is the fact that Embraer leads the program specifications despite many suppliers are American, Spanish, Chilean, British Japanese, and now even Chinese.

    The P-X and C-X as many japanese products have being built to assure the Japanese know how and commercial profitability in future times.

    The Japanese 35% participation is quit high for the Boeing 787 and 21% for the Boeing 777 is comparable to the brazilan participation in the Embraer array of products.

    [/QUOTE=Flogger]
    Except that we hold the intectual property on the products and Japanese companies dont

    Hammer Brasil e uma beleza.

    Hammer i am not saying the Embraer is not a great company but we need to see the reality, Brazil does not hold patents in the jet engines used by Embraer jets such as the Alisson, or in the US made Honeywell, Hamilton Sundstrand and GEAE built aircraft parts even in Sonaca`s aircraft parts used in the Embraer jets that is a reality.
    Niether in the Kawasaki japanese made aircraft parts or Liebherr German aircraft parts or France`s Latecoere and Spanish built Gamesa aircraft parts all are foreign designed.

    Embraer is the one that coordinates and build the aircraft in Brazil of aircraft parts than in other way would be just aircraft parts and not an Embraer 170.

    The Chinese ARJ-21 is the same but the Japanese have the advantages that the whole aircraft can be build with mostly japanese parts but that implies less chances in the commercial market because contrary to Embraer that buying a ERJ-145 means buying American a foreign jet is less able to get orders same is the Boeing 777 or Boeing 787 for Japan it means buying Japanese and Boeing can assure at least a Market where Airbus can not compete.

    Embraer has achieved success because all their products are composites of several producers, Dassault supports Embraer and in many cases the low costs of the brazilian assemby cheapens an aircraf that if it would had been assembled in Canada or Japan would had meant a more expensive jet.

    Brazil is learning and as the Chinese getting technology transfers and designing more and more but Brazil still is uncapable of mastering the complete designing and building of a whole aircraft.

    Being able to produce a limited component is very different from designing a complete airplane… πŸ˜‰ After all who designs the parts that the japanese are building for Boeing? I think itΒ΄s the americans… the Japanese companies surely are limited do detailing the subassembies, no more than that…

    Anyway, these numbers are very small to justify the creation of a ongoing production line… Costs may become unbearable leter on… πŸ™ All over the world companies pair up in order to extend initial orders and reduce development costs… Im sure the Japanese industries know it too, they just accept that the government (taxpayers) are bound to pay for this gross ineficiency.. I’m happy I’m not a Japanese taxpayer.. πŸ˜‰

    So the MJ will come to the market years after the Embraers 170-175-190-195, also way after the proposed Bombardier C-Series… whatΒ΄s the point? Joining a very competitive market when you effectively have no tradition as a leading supplier to that market and entering after everyone else has flooded it with their products… Again waste of money… And aparently lack of long term strategy and vision… But thatΒ΄s just my idea… πŸ˜‰

    The goal of the Japanese is create an aircraft industry capable to be in the forefront of aircraft design.

    Its a good goal, I just don’t see them preparing to realise this vision…

    Embraer products are global products, but still are not 100% brazilian products.
    But now no nation can build big aircraft without partners.

    Brazil enjoys great advantages as the leader of the program and is very likely that nations like China or Japan will struggle to achieve the Brazilian success going alone but if China and Japan join forces the Japanese know how will multiply the Chinese low costs and know how and in that Brazil can not compete unless either joins them as has done or creates a large market in Latin America for the Embraer products and continue having American and European suppliers to penetrate the EU and US markets as has done with great success due to the fact that buying Embraer means buying american or European in one way or other

    Airbus makes planes with the most expensive and unionised workers who do french work weeks. is anyone saying they’re not competitive?

    i don’t think we’ll see a sino-japanese aerospace industry anytime soon:

    firstly, labour costs are not a significant factor in aviation, unlike in toys, textiles or even automobiles. when you buy a plane you want the highest quality and reliability and are willing to pay for that. japanese manufacturing can give you that. not the chinese.

    secondly, it is the japanese who have the technogical edge. a sino-jap alliance will not involve tech-sharing – it’ll be tech TRANSFER, from the japs to chinese. however i believe the south koreans will have much to contribute here.

    third, politics.

    jap-to-china outsourcing, maybe. but an aerospace firm called, what, mitsubishi-harbin? nope.

    Well about the Japanese-Sino alliance well it might talke some years
    but very surely it will happen, in the Civil aspect. for example it is said that Japan might outsource to China part of it`s share of the Boeing 787.
    Despite China`s wrong claims that it is the fifth nation capable of building and designing jet engines domestically alongside England, Russia, France and the US with the Kunlun and WS-10, a fact that is wrong since Japan was the first Asian nation to built an aircraft engines and it is capable of designing them by it self, nevertheless China has a similar level in aircraft technology to Japan and more important has lower manufacturing and development prices something that the aging Japan will need to compete.

    However the Japanese have being more practical and have develop commercial aircraft in coopeation with big western firms such as Airbus, Embraer and Boeing.

    Here is one of the greatest Japanese achievements the Honda HF-118 jet engine designed and built in Japan that now is being marketed and built by an alliance of GE and Honda and the Honda Jet
