Is the Flying Leopard a J 8? How to distinguish between J 8 and Flying Leopard?

No, the flying leopard looks like a flying leopard but it is not. The J-8 is a high-altitude and high-speed fighter, a special fighter used to compete for air supremacy. The Flying Leopard is a fighter-bomber designed for precision attacks on assault and surface ships with a large take-off weight.

J-8 Flying Leopard J-8 is an air superiority fighter -- that is, a fighter J-8 (NATO codename): Fin Whale (Finback) Flying Leopard is a fighter-bomber codenamed J-7

The J-7 aircraft has a conventional layout. It adopts a medium aspect ratio swept upper wing, with aerodynamic torsion on the outer wing and corner filling at the root of the wing. The J-7 aircraft has a length of meters, a wingspan of meters, a parking height of meters, a maximum take-off weight of 28,475 kilograms, a maximum external weight of 6,500 kilograms, a maximum number of meters, a maximum operating speed of 1,210 kilometers per hour, and a transit range of 3,650,4,000 kilometers.

The combat radius of the J-7 is 1,650 kilometers, which is twice that of China's current H-5 aircraft. In terms of flight control, fire control and advanced systems, the 603 Institute correctly handled the relationship between air attack, self-defense and ground and sea attack, focusing on ground and sea attack; The relationship between high-altitude characteristics and low-altitude characteristics is dominated by low-altitude penetration.

No, the Flying Leopard is a J-7 J-8 is a high-altitude fighter I hope it will be for you!

No, the flying leopard is a single name, just like the Thunder Dragon!

No, the J-8 is Shen Fei, and the Flying Leopard is west, and the difference between the two is very far.

The FBC-1 "Flying Leopard" is a twin-engine, two-seat supersonic all-weather fighter-bomber jointly developed by China's Xi'an Aircraft Design Institute and Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation. The FBC-1 began development in 1973 with the J-7 designation, and the prototype first flew on December 14, 1988, and made its debut at the Zhuhai Airshow in China in November 1998.

The J-8 is a high-altitude and high-speed fighter developed by China's Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Company, and it is also the main fighter in China.

After the 70s of the 20th century, the design thinking of fighter jets around the world has changed, no longer pursuing "higher and faster", but focusing on improving the aircraft's medium and low-altitude maneuverability, improving the airborne electronic equipment, fire control system. In order to adapt to this trend and the new needs of the troops' equipment, Shenfei Company developed the Jian-8 aircraft on the basis of the Jian-8, and the chief designer is Gu Yifen, a famous aircraft designer in China. On June 12, 1984, the prototype made its first successful flight.

On March 18, 1988, the design of the J-8 was finalized.

FBC-1 and J-8-2

If you look at the two aircraft from directly above, the most obvious difference is the shape of their wings. The J8 is a triangular wing with a large sweep angle, while the FBC-1's wing has a much smaller sweep angle. The shape of the wing is not triangular, but rather quadrangular in shape.

There are more differences when viewed from the side, first of all, their seat compartment, the J8 is a single-seater, and the FBC is a two-seater. On the back of the fuselage, the J8 has a straight back, while the FBC-1 appears more curved, like a hunchback. The J8's wings and fuselage are connected just below.

The FBC-1 is an upper wing. Leaning on the fuselage is higher.

In general, from the layman, it can be seen that the appearance of the J8 is a high-altitude and high-speed fighter, with a straight fuselage and thin wings. The FBC-1 is mainly used for bombing missions. More emphasis is placed on the large bomb load and long range. So the fuselage looks fatter.

J-8 Flying Leopard.

It's simple, look at the cockpit. The original design intention of the J-8 is to pursue high altitude and high speed, so the fuselage is slender, the cockpit is the same, and the position is very flat, and the appearance is almost the same as the J-7 MiG-21; The Flying Leopard mainly carries out ground attack missions, and the design refers to the style of mature attack aircraft such as the F15, and the cockpit position is significantly higher to ensure that the pilot has a good field of vision.

In addition, the slender body of the J-8 is easy to identify, and in comparison, the flying leopard appears to be "hunched over". The air intake duct is also one of the identification points, the air inlet of the J-8 is obviously rectangular, and there is a baffle at the part where the entrance is close to the fuselage; The flying leopard does not have this thing, and the shape of the 4 inner corners of the air intake is relatively sleek.

The J-8 is nose intake (J-8-2 is air intake on both sides of the fuselage), and the Flying Leopard is air intake on both sides of the fuselage. The J-8 is slender in appearance, and the Flying Leopard is thicker than the J-8. The J-8 is a single-seater, and the Flying Leopard is a two-seater.

The J-8 is a straight triangular mid-wing, and the Flying Leopard is a slightly drooping trapezoidal upper wing. In addition, there is a difference between the vertical tail and the horizontal tail appearance.

J-8 is good-looking, nicknamed the beautiful man in the air. Flying leopards are comparatively unsightly.

The flying leopard is also called JH7

Now equipped with several regiments.

The J-10 was a fighter developed urgently in the 80s of the last century, mainly to catch up with the gap in air force equipment with the United States and the Soviet Union and other major countries. In the 80s of the last century, the development of fighter jets in the United States, the United States and the Soviet Union has reached the level of over-the-horizon attack, and China at that time was affected by the Cultural Revolution and other events, and the idea of air force combat was quite backward and closed, and there was only the level of low-altitude combat. Under the guidance of ***, with the short period with the United States in the 80s, relations with the Soviet Union were normalized, and the initial development of the J-10 was quite smooth.

But the good times did not last long, and with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States and other Western countries began a new round of blockade against China. During this period, the development of the J-10 was full of problems and difficulties, but great progress was still made. In the mid-90s, Israel's "Lion Cubs") was successfully developed but was forced to dismount under pressure from the United States, and with its relationship with Israel, China introduced a group of Israeli experts to collaborate on the development and adopted some of the "Lion Cubs" technology.

On January 5, 2007, China unveiled the J-10 in a high-profile manner, according to Western standards, the J-10 has reached the level of three and a half generations, and its performance exceeds that of the American F-16A B, and its ground performance is inferior to that of the F-16C D.

The Flying Leopard (J-7, JH-7) was developed by China in order to replace the old Qiang-5 fighter, which was finalized in 1996 and is a fighter-bomber, but the Flying Leopard only has a slight advantage in the ground and is relatively weak in the air. Therefore, although this fighter met the design requirements, its performance was not ideal, so later the PLA bought a large number of Su-30s from Russia to make up for the lack of flying leopards. However, the Flying Leopard has filled the gap in the fighter-bomber aircraft and has made a great contribution to the improvement of the Air Force's ground strike capability.

The J-10 is an air superiority fighter, which is mainly used in air combat with the heavy fighter Su-27 30 J-11 series for combat.

The Flying Leopard fighter is a land-based fighter-bomber independently developed by China, mainly used by naval aviation, responsible for sea attacks and anti-ship missions. Air combat is not the main project, it is just a means of self-preservation.

The J-10 is a third-generation multi-purpose single-engine light fighter with air supremacy and precise close-range strike capabilities on the ground and sea. It has local stealth, intermittent supersonic cruise, excellent maneuverability at medium and low altitudes, strong air combat capabilities, maximum speed Mach, and a large combat radius of 800-1000 kilometers.

The Flying Leopard is a twin-engine heavy fighter-bomber that focuses on comprehensive precision strikes on the ground and at sea, and is not a special fighter and does not enjoy the standard of fighter classification. The Flying Leopard has a certain self-defense capability in close air combat. It can carry short-range combat missiles.

However, it does not have over-the-horizon air combat capabilities (whether it can carry out over-the-horizon attacks through the data link is unknown). But it can carry long-range anti-ship missiles or short-range land-attacking cruise missiles to strike targets at a distance of 300 km. Good maneuverability at low altitudes.

The combat radius is about 1600 km, the maximum speed is Mach, and the maximum bomb load is more than 7 tons. Comparable to the H-6.

The J-10 is a medium-sized, multi-functional, supersonic and all-weather air superiority fighter, which belongs to the fourth generation aircraft in the international division. The J-7 is a twin-engine, tandem, two-seat supersonic fighter-bomber. There is a big difference in combat use, and there is no comparison between the two.

For example, the J-10 has an overwhelming advantage over the Flying Leopard in air combat capability, but the J-10 is inferior to the Flying Leopard in terms of ground strike capability. Flying Leopard is currently developing the DDK-03 (new Flying Leopard 3), and the application of new composite materials for its fuselage is second only to J-10, adding advanced electronic systems and having stealth capabilities.

On the future battlefield, the task of the J-10 is to seize air supremacy with the enemy, facing opponents such as F-16 and Rafale; Due to its long range, the Flying Leopard can carry a large number of precision-guided munitions after the Jian-10 seizes air supremacy, rush to the enemy area, carry out point-and-point strikes on tactical targets, and can also serve as a support mission for ground troops. Due to China's shortcomings in large bombers, such as fighter bombers, which have strong ground capabilities and certain air combat capabilities (they also have the ability to fight in the face of enemy air superiority fighters), the Flying Leopard can make up for this gap.

In short, the Jian-10 emphasizes anti-air combat, but has a certain ability to fight against the ground. The Flying Leopard focuses on ground attack and also has some anti-air capabilities.

The J10 is a replica of the Su 27.

In the air intake, the engine is completely different, before the J10 was a Russian-made RD engine, and later for example, the J10A B S is said to be modified to be domestic...

Moreover, the J10 is a generation fighter with a single-engine single-seat with medium-range air-to-air combat, and the radar of the J10 also uses a relatively new phased array radar, equipped with air-to-air missiles (specific model?). I can't remember exactly.)

FC is the Flying Leopard series of fighters, of course, the subsequent improved version is alternative; To put it bluntly, FC is improved after J7 (I'm not right, that's what I described, that's all I know, and there are more professional ha,Please don't spray)

Therefore, the FC has a surface-to-air type, which means that it is good to use it to assault low-altitude targets.

In short, one is air defense, the other is assault, they are not used for a different purpose, and they are algebraically different

The difference is great, in terms of appearance, performance, and the tasks performed.

The J-10 is a light air superiority fighter, mainly to seize air supremacy in the air, and its maneuverability is very good. The Flying Leopard is a tactical fighter-bomber, mainly performing ground-to-sea attack missions, and its maneuverability is much poorer. They are different kinds of aircraft and perform different combat missions,

The difference is very big, their combat objectives are different, the J-10 is mainly to seize air supremacy, and the flying leopard is mainly to attack sea targets;

Because of the different combat objectives, they are completely different in design.

The J-10 is a single-seat, single-engine, canard wing with delta wing, belly air intake, short range, and poor ground attack ability;

The Flying Leopard is a two-seater, twin-engine, traditional swept wing, air intake on both sides, long range, and poor air combat performance.

The J-10 is a new generation of domestic fighters, which adopts a different aerodynamic layout and a duck layout, and is a medium-sized fighter. The maximum take-off weight is 19 tons. It is equivalent to the F16 fighter of the US military.

The Flying Leopard is the J-7, which is a fighter-bomber. With a maximum take-off weight of 34 tons, it can carry anti-ship missile-to-surface missiles.

The performance indicators, combat use, and design generation of the two models are completely different.

This fighter has excellent performance, very long endurance, particularly strong maneuverability, and a large bomb load, making it a very good fighter.

The first Flying Leopard fighter matured too late, and the fourth-generation aircraft is already very mature, the second Flying Leopard is an advanced fighter-bomber developed by China under the condition of relatively poor technology, and the third Flying Leopard is a cheap and easy-to-use fighter, and its functions completely coincide with the J-16, and it can be replaced by the Flying Leopard without buying the expensive J-16.

The performance of the Flying Leopard fighter is very strong. Its flight speed is relatively fast among the current fighters. And it is possible to carry a very large amount of ammunition.

Flying Leopard, a big killer weapon that J-10C and even the Falcon Eagle are not sold on the shelves.

It's just an emergency work, there are too many congenital defects, it's time to retire!

Hold up a piece of the sky for Chinese attack aircraft.

If you don't change it, it's not interesting, and there's no need to make a big change.
