중국이 개발하고 있는 J-10의 개량형인 SUPER-10 기사가 나왔습니다. SUPER-10에는 조금 더 강력한 엔진, TVC, 강력한 기체, phased-array radar등이 적용될것이라고 합니다. 중국은 2005년에 J-10에 장착할 엔진을 계약했는데 1차로 계약한 54개의 AL-31FN이 아닌 AL-31FN M1로 밝혀졌다고 합니다. 공짜 기사는 여기까지... 좀 더 자세한 기사는 제인스에 회원등록 하시고 확인하랍니다. ㅡㅡ " http://www.janes.com/defence/air_forces/news/jdw/jdw060109_2_n.shtml " China working on 'Super-10' advanced fighter By Henry Ivanov JDW Correspondent Moscow China is developing an advanced version of the Chengdu Aircraft Industrial Corporation (CAC) J-10 multirole fighter aircraft, referred to as the Super-10, with a more powerful engine, thrust-vector control, stronger airframe and passive phased-array radar, according to Russian sources. Russian Aircraft Corporation MiG (RSK-MiG) specialists, contracted to provide technical assistance to Chinese design houses, said the enhancement to the J-10 airframe is a logical step, since the fighter was initially intended to have the compact Pratt&Whitney PW1120 engine that powered the Israeli Lavi aircraft, which served as a basis for the J-10. However, the imposition of US export restrictions forced the decision to install the 20 per cent heavier Russian AL-31FN engine, which requires a larger intake as it needs 40 per cent more air flow. In late 2005 China placed a USD300 million order for a second batch of AL-31FN engines; these are a derivative of the Su-27's AL-31F for single-engine aircraft, with a lower positioning of the gearbox. At first, it was believed the contract was for the same engines as in the first batch of 54 units supplied in 2001-02 and installed into development prototypes and initial production J-10s. However, AL-31FN-maker Moscow Machine Production Plant (MMPP) Salyut in December 2005 revealed the order to be for the AL-31FN M1, which is claimed to be a new AL-31FN production standard. The company's general manager, Yuri Eliseyev, said the new engine was purposely developed for what he referred to as the "Chinese Super-10 fighter". Four such engines have been seen assembled at MMPP Salyut's Moscow production site. One of these has been demonstrated undergoing fire testing, during which its swivel nozzle was deflected up/down and sideways at full power and reheated thrust. 283 of 916 words
