网上的中国J-10战斗机

    中国成都飞机工业公司（CAC）正在发展一种先进型号J-10多任务战斗机，称为超-10（Super-10），采用一台推力-矢量控制更大功率的发动机，更坚固的机身和无源相控阵雷达，以上依照俄国消息来源。

    俄罗斯米格飞机制造集团（RSK MiG）的专家，已订约提供技术上的协助给中国设计机构，称增强J-10机身是一个合理的步骤，战斗机最初想要采用以色列Lavi飞机所使用的动力，紧凑的普拉特&惠特尼PW1120发动机，视为J-10的一种基础。

    然而，美国施加的出口限制迫使决定去安装重量多出20%的俄国AL-31FN发动机，进气量增加40%，需要一个更大的进气口。

    在2005年后期，中国用于购买第二批AL-31FN发动机下了USD300百万（3亿美元）订单；这些是Su-27战斗机的AL-31F衍生型用于单发战斗机，齿轮箱位于下面位置。在开始，它被认为合同用于采购与2001-02年提供的第一批54台单位相同的发动机，已经安装到发展原型和初期生产的J-10。然而，AL-31FN制造商莫斯科机器生产厂（MMPP）Salyut公司在2005年12月透露了订购的是AL-31FN M1型，声称是一种新的AL-31FN生产规格。

China working on 'Super-10' advanced fighter

    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.
