Data Figure: China F -15 aircraft carrier flight map

According to Russia’s” Periscope 2 “Web site reported Nov. 28, Canada,” Chinese and Asian Defense “magazine December 2011 issue of China’s defense cited industry sources as saying a disclosure that the Chinese Navy F -15 aircraft carrier as early as 2010 has been on the ground training center (Shaanxi Yanliang) successfully completed a springboard to take off test, while the JL-9 trainer aircraft carrier-based version has also been completed a similar take-off training.

Russian media said that China’s defense industry source said the Chinese and, F -15 springboard to take off in the process of aircraft accident nearly occurred. Fortunately, the rear seat pilot responded very quickly, in time to avoid the tragedy. This is the first time learned that the foreign media taking off and landing F -15 test the details of the original Yang Ling-based aircraft in the training center springboard off the ground, after landing on the runway. The source said the completion of F -15 springboard to take off, continue routine test flight. Of the Chinese navy, the F -15 take off and land successfully, with a springboard to take-off capacity is an important symbol, marking the Chinese carrier-based aircraft development project’s success, that the technical and tactical performance of the F-15 has met the requirements of the Chinese Navy.

learned, is the first test F -15 Yanliang carrier aircraft is equipped with Russian AL-31F engine, but then a group of F -15 is used in Chinese-made WS-10A engine. But it is not clear, the pilot of the F -15 springboard off which a number of products, using the Russian AL-31F or domestic WS-10A engine. China’s defense industry sources pointed out that the F-15 production has been the basic issues of organization and coordination is completed, all over the factory test, flight test is now being stepped up. -15 F in 2012 should be the end all the tests, after which will be based on “Kuznetsov” aircraft carrier trials progress, and later began mass production F -15 aircraft carrier.

“Chinese and Asian Defense” magazine recently compared in the analysis of satellite images taken after that, in the August 6, 2010 before the Yanliang ground training center is not installed on the airport landing block device. Russia’s defense industry circles have confirmed the news, confirmed that no supply of aircraft to the Chinese claim to use the block. Therefore, the F -15 aircraft carrier being only in the conventional mode landing. In fact, the carrier aircraft with the arresting hook hanging block the smooth efficiency of cable is also very important because it tests the aircraft carrier deck landing in the engine braking efficiency. Clearly, in this case, the Russian AL-31F engine is fully compliant with the relevant requirements. (Compiled: Shu-shan)
