J-10A Firebird PLAAF

117k Inuyasha8215  3.8 years ago

The Chengdu J-10 (NATO reporting name: Firebird, also known as Vigorous Dragon), is a single-engine, lightweight multirole fighter aircraft capable of all-weather operation, configured with a delta wing and canard design,with fly-by-wire flight controls, and produced by the Chengdu Aircraft Corporation for the People's Liberation Army Air Force.

The airframe is constructed from metal alloys and composite materials for high strength and low weight, the airframe's aerodynamic layout adopts a "tail-less canard delta" wing configuration. A large delta wing is mid-mounted towards the rear of the fuselage, while a pair of canards (or foreplanes) are mounted higher up and towards the front of the fuselage, behind and below the cockpit. This configuration provides very high agility, especially at low speeds, and also reduces stall speed, allowing for a lower airspeed during instrument approaches. A large vertical tail is present on top of the fuselage and small ventral fins underneath the fuselage provide further stability.

Controls:
VTOL: Flaps
Trim: Canards Trim

    @Inuyasha8215 Check his comment and posts. Literally created for bringing up politics.
    Your J-10 is worth 10/10 points as my opinion. Im waiting for your further builds... yeah.

    lol I watched the video the PLAAF put out for their J-10s. None of the stuff they were doing was correct and the displays they put on the screen aren't synced to the aircraft.

    cool, but please stop using this type of main landing gear (I meant tilted rear landing gear) because putting it as a tilted position will make the landing dangerous
    just an advice, don't ask me how i could know that, i'm working on an F-16 ;)
