Refueling at a height of several kilometers, the pilots of the pilots must be highly consistent with the tanker, and complete the "kissing" in just a few minutes, which is not easy to achieve.
The PLA pilots completed the simulation training and successfully drove the J-10B fighters for aerial refueling.
The æ¼-10B is China's third-generation æ¼-10 improved fighter, a single-seat, single-shot, multi-purpose, advanced fighter equipped with advanced airborne equipment (active phased array radar).
The æ¼-10B is equipped with a forward-looking infrared search and tracking system (IRST), which is located in front of the cockpit and is composed of an infrared imaging detection system and a laser range finder. The biggest advantage of the IRST is that the fighter radar can be turned off or malfunctioning. The detection and tracking of the target can still be maintained.
This kind of electronic warfare has a very strong advantage in the modern air battles. Therefore, the third-generation and semi-combat aircraft are generally equipped with IRST, which is an advantage of the æ¼-10B for three-generation combat aircraft.
æ¼-10B also adds forward-looking infrared search and tracking system, integrated electronic warfare system, missile approach warning system, etc., which will increase the aircraft's empty weight, which will inevitably increase the aircraft's structural weight, thereby reducing the aircraft's thrust-to-weight ratio, aircraft The thrust-to-weight ratio will affect the aircraft's range of flight and maneuverability, such as climb, acceleration, and stable hovering.
Although the J-10B also carries out a series of structural weight reduction designs such as the iconic DSI inlet, the DSI inlet uses a drum kit to blow off the boundary layer in front of the inlet and eliminates the boundary layer barrier. The venting door and the auxiliary venting door simplify the structure of the aircraft, thus reducing the structural weight of the aircraft.
It is said that the use of the BUMP inlet, the aircraft can lose hundreds of kilograms, which is still very valuable for fighters.
