SUPER Video Converter. Go to the bottom of the page, hit Start Downloading SUPER Now. Next page, hit Download and Use. All the way to the bottom again, and hit Download SUPER Setpud File. Install. Will convert pretty well anything to anything. Just turn it into an AVI or WMV file with a smaller resolution, should chop off huge amounts of memory and make it easily loadable.

Recommended Parameters:
Scale: 640:480
Frames/Sec: 29.97
Output Container: AVI
Audio Bitrate: 64 kbps

Should make a tiny file. Will probably take a while, though, depending on your comp's speed.

Here are the specs:

Max Speed: crap
Max Altitude: crap
Battlefield Endurance: crap
Avionics: atari 2600 flight computer, Colecovision Radar

*ok, I should get serious now. Basically, this thing was obsolete the second it made its maiden flight.

so your saying the Gripen, the Typhoon , the F-16 block whatever and the Rafale are all crap as well? since they are of a similar generation and ability.

so other than a misinformed `opinion` you offer no information whatsoever as to why you think the Rafale (with AESA now) or the J-10 (which china bought the plans for the LAVI , itself based upon the F-16) are in your words `crap`

edit:

let me point a few details of the J-10 for you:

the engine is an AL-31FN (the domestic WS-10A isn`t ready yet) which prduces 27,000 lb thrust the chinese built will produce 29,000 lb thrust

compare to the F-16 block 50 which has the GE F110-GE-129 which also produces 29,000 lb thrust, the gripen which has 18k thrust and the typhoon which has a pair of EJ200 engines , each making 13k thrust (total about 26k)

the rafale has a pair of 17000 thrust engines (snecma-M88)

so not short on power

weight

the J-10 weighs in at 18 tons

same as the gripen (again 18 tons) but slightly more than the F-16 at 12 tons , and 1/2 the weight of the porker called the Typhoon - a larger 34 tons there, with the rafale very much similar to the typhoon at around 34 tons.

payload?

well the J-10 can carry around 9 tons very similar to the F-16 , gripen is less at 8 tons - the number i can find for the `big boys` are similar again - pictures of the typhoon show it wuth 1 fuel tank and 8 1,000 lb paveway

fuel tanks weigh 1 kilogramme per litre (+ the tank iteself)

wing loading:

J-10 64 lb/ft
F-16 84 lb/ft
Gripen 68 lb/ft
Typhoon 63 lb/ft
Rafale 83 lb/ft


so not really a highly loaded wing either.


radar? appears at this time to be a version of the Zhuk as used on there own flankers - although it is reported to be fielding a chinese radar the 1471 which is better than the Zhuk with 15/4 (track and scane targets) and A2G capability.

electro optical tracking system - home bilt and better than anything russia can sell them - china wants a radar small enough so it can move the ImIR system to the nose.

only typhoon has an IRST - none of the rest have them (yet)

so tell me again , why is the J-10 `crap`?

i would really compare this aircraft to the F-16 block 50 , both having features the other doesn`t - but very much a capable workhorse.

I know how to look up an aircraft's capabilities. I understand thrust to weight ratio, wing loading, etc..... I spent 6 years in the US Air Force and one of my jobs was Threat Assessment--Combat Aircraft.

All I was offering was my OPINION. To me, the J-10 might be the better performer in some aspects when compared to its contemporaries, but I still think its ugly. And, its Chinese.

By the way, as for the F-16; the only thing that makes any of these aircraft you mentioned able to fly in the first place is FLY-BY-WIRE. Which was the first production fighter aircraft to introduce it? The U.S.A.'s F-16 Fighting Falcon.

So, tell me, exactly WHAT is so innovative about this J-10? Did they utilize anything different that wasn't already in the Gripen, F-16, or Rafale?
