foxmulder_ms Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) There is an airshow going on in China right now in which all the cutting edge tech of Chinese aviation is on display. J-10 has a very nice surprise for me. It has a new test subject with a WS-10 engine with trust vectoring and serrated exhaust nozzle. It can do cobra maneuver! I wouldn't have guessed it could. Suddenly I have an urge to built this one: An official also confirmed in a witty way that this engine is already installed on J-20, too.

Berkut Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 WS-10 on J-20? That doesnt sound right. And to be honest the cobra maneuver looked very unimpressive even compared to vanilla Su-27. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flanker27 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I think he meant the serrated edge nozzle was installed on a J-20, could be the same engine as the J-10. There was a picture showing J-20 with serrated edge nozzle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) J-20 doesn't use serrated nozzles. And the engine has so far been some sort of Salut Al-31FM3 modification while they are developing WS-15. EDIT: Actually i now remember there is atleast one frame testing WS-10 on J-20, with serrated nozzles, but the currently operational ones do not use that engine or the nozzle.

flanker27 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 yes its some test aircraft not operational. Dont think this J-10 is operational aircraft also Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is kind of cool too: a very short video of J-10 performing "falling leaf". It is really cool, Su-30 does this one nicely. Do Russian's have a name for it? Falling leaf sounds fitting though: What is impressive is Chinese are willing show this in an airshow. It is a J-10B fitted with a brand new engine and it is doing solo flights back to back for 3 days now. That shows a certain level of confidence. Also another interesting take from the show is that there are so many types of UAVs, I would say ~20. Following the developments in this field will be very interesting. Anyhow, I am looking forward to a 1/48 J-20 and that exhaust for J-10 from an aftermarket producer. 😄 Edited November 7, 2018 by foxmulder_ms Quote Link to post Share on other sites
