cheng du j-10 b vigorous dragon Model 3D

the j-10b are the latest development variants of the chengdu j-10 fighter family, with substantial upgrade and redesign in airframe, avionics, and systems. the variant currently in production is the j-10b, which first flew in december 2013 and entered operational service in 2016. the aircraft, equipped with an aesa radar and new-generation air-to-air missiles, is regarded as approaching the 4.5-generation fighter standards. the improved j-10b single-seat fighter began flight test in december 2008. the most distinctive feature of this variant is its chin-mounted diffuser supersonic inlet (dsi), which employs a one-piece bump at the top of the inlet replacing the original movable ramp on the basic variant j-10. this eliminates all moving parts on the inlet, lightening the overall weight and reducing the aircraft’s radar signature.
