But maybe is that facetted fuselage design not chosen because of a RCS-reduction but with the aim to create as much feselage volume for a relative short or compact overal desin. In comparison to the A.129 or even the Tiger with their relative flat sides this one should have a much lager volume for avionics, fuel, …
The pic of WZ-10 is also taken from under the wing of a J-10. Might be from a internal National Day exhibition of some sort? Also note the new HJ-10? ATGM under the wing pylons.
Yes, the HJ-10’s are very interesting esp. as they confirm the estimations of the picture in flight some posts above. … but are Your sure it’s a J-10 ??? For my opinion it looks more like a J-8F … therefore I would suggest/estimate this of beinf one of the J-8F prototypes at the CFTE Xian-Yanglian.
Japanese Ministry of Defence announced yesterday that Kawasaki P-X was officially designated XP-1. http://www.mod.go.jp/j/news/2007/09/28.html (Only in Japanese language so far)
Looks to me they’re planning to put bigger engines. But which ones can fit here? My guess are Russian AL-21Fs, or like the ones used on the Yak-130/L-15.
Hmmm … Yes, but the later aircraft S110-002 seems to be less modified … I would say a plain F-5E with twin tails ! :confused:
Does anyone have any pictures of the re-engined variant? I’m assuming that perhaps there will be a slight difference in intake/intake size due to the fact that the D-30 is a turbofan with probably a higher airflow requirement.
The only picture of the complete ac is this blurred picture … and YES – at least for my opinion – the intake looks different !
