The program was conceived in the early 1980s, to counter new fourth generation fighters then being introduced by the USSR (namely, the MiG-29 and Su-27). Initially designed as a specialized counter-air fighter, it was later re-made into a multirole aircraft capable of both anti-air combat and ground attack missions. The J-10 is suspected to have been heavily influenced by the Israeli IAI Lavi|Lavi fighter program (which was later cancelled in 1987). While denied by the Israeli government, the similarities between the now-defunct Lavi, and the J-10 indicate that a degree of technology transfer took place between the two programs during the development process. The first flight of the J-10 took place in 1996, but a fatal accident in 1997 caused by the J-10?s fly-by-wire system delayed the program slightly. A redesigned prototype flew in 1998, resuming flight testing of the aircraft. Service entry is likely to be in the 2005-2007 timeframe. The J-10 is a single-seat, delta winged tail-less aircraft powered by a single, Russian-designed AL-31FN turbofan (maximum static power output of 12,500 kgf (123 kN, 27,600 lbf)). As well, the airframe possesses a large vertical tailfin and a pair of canards placed near the cockpit. The air intake is rectangular in shape, and is located beneath the fuselage. Construction likely incorporates much use of composite materials, as well as more conventional metals. Performance is generally speculated to be within the class of a late-model F-16 Fighting Falcon|F-16, although maneuverability is thought to be superior (possibly within the range of some early fifth generation European fighters). A bubble canopy provides 360 degrees of visual coverage for the pilot. A digital, quadruplex fly-by-wire system aids the pilot in flying the aircraft. Information is provided visually to the pilot, in the form of three liquid crystal MFD|Multi-Functional Displays within the cockpit. Western-style HOTAS (Hands-On Stick And Throttle) controls are incorporated in the J-10's design. The radar type equipping the J-10 is not yet known; possible candidates include the Russian RP-35, the Israeli EL/M-2035, the Italy|Italian Grifo 2000 and the domestic JL-10A. A comprehensive Electronic countermeasures (ECM) package is likely to be present, including active Jamming|jammers.
The wings provide 11 hardpoints for the attachment of up to 4,500 kg (9,900 lb) of weaponry, fuel tanks, and ECM equipment. Built-in armament consists of a 23 mm Autocannon|cannon, located within the fuselage. External weaponry may include: short-range infrared air-to-air missiles (Chinese PL-8, or the Russian R-73), medium-range radar-guided air-to-air missiles (Chinese PL-11 and PL-12, or the Russian R-77), laser-guided and un-guided bombs, anti-ship missiles (Chinese YJ-9K), and anti-radiation missiles (YJ-9). ;Length: 14.57 m /47 ft 10 in ;Wingspan: 8.78 m / 28 ft 10 in ;Empty Weight: 9,750 kg / 21,500 lb ;Maximum External Load: 4,500 kg / 9,900 lb ;Maximum Speed: Mach 1.85 (optimum altitude) / Mach 1.2 (sea level) ;Maximum g-limit: +9 g (88 m/s2) ;Combat Radius: Greater than 463 km / 287 miles / 250 n miles ;Maximum Range: 1,850 km / 1,150 miles / 1,000 n miles
