Recently, the New Flying Leopard 3 has been a successful test flight! And have been finalized, the military code for the DDK-03. They are called the "New Flying Leopard" because of its aerodynamic shape and its internal systems are all brand new! Although with the original Flying Leopard "body bone" bottom, but in order to adapt to the new engine, the fuselage had to be enlarged! the new engine's thrust into the air than the original engine and units increased by nearly 75%, the new Leopard 3 can not fly follow simple and amplification of the original Flying Leopard's body! (new engine than the original "Laosilaisi" engine diameter, but also short!) Therefore, the researchers aerodynamic shape of the original machine and the internal body structure of a bold Improved! great complexity of its workload, no less re-design a new airplane!!!
After the hard work of the researchers, the show in front of us, "Flying Leopard 3" has "completely changed" performance! "New Flying Leopard 3" body of the application of new materials is only found in the J-10 of this Therefore, the body weight of the aircraft much lighter than before! and structural strength of the body is several times the original! as the "New Flying Leopard 3" added the related refueling equipment, so the combat radius much larger than before! its army new equipment, new types of combat aircraft in a combat radius of the absolute one of the best!
[Transfer from Jagged Community http://bbs.tiexue.net/]As the "New Flying Leopard 3" wide body interior space than ever before, a lot, so it added a lot of new systems and equipment! Making the "New Flying Leopard 3" enhance the operational effectiveness of many, at least the original machine 5 times!!! (This is not an exaggeration!!!) of new equipment of the domestic multi-mode synthetic aperture phased array radar is currently the most complex and most advanced equipment the highest combat effectiveness has been more than several active "imported goods"!!! the "New Flying Leopard 3" internal to the body itself is equipped with multi-function surveillance detection equipment, and multi-functional jamming equipment, but also many other advanced equipment are 9 high-speed computers and the length of more than XXX m The new high-speed transmission fiber and many of the "sensors" and other devices together to form a "perfect" overall!!! why we say "New Flying Leopard 3" is currently being played to the "extreme" a perfect work!! ! its combat potential can not be overlooked!!! (no wonder its associated research staff referred to the introduction of the Soviet army and MKK3 30MKK2, use a "but that" to describe the Soviet Union's air!!!)
It is reported that about six recent "New Flying Leopard 3" equipment in the military base on Hainan Island Hainan Airlines carried a lot of equipment before the end of the suitability test flight! Believe that in the near future there will be a lot of "New Flying Leopard 3" equipment Hainan Airlines, and Air Force special operations forces
Looking to catch up SU -34 -3 Flying Leopard
Aimed to ensure "Flying Leopard A" deficiency, China proposed a new research task Flying Leopard 3. In order to ensure that the "Flying Leopard III" The success of China and Russia (including part of the Ukrainian organization) after years of arduous negotiations, the top leadership in the intervention of Russia, reached a joint development of "Flying Leopard III" of the cooperation agreement.
"Flying Leopard III" is both offensive and defensive in order to complete the Air Force to the needs of the Chinese Air Force to make up for the lack of long-range strike capability, the lack of new bombers, the lack of tanker and a lack of overseas air bases and other weak links, and proposed a long-range bombing ability to self-defense capabilities but also has a remote dual purpose of ground-to-sea combat heavy bombers (other than strategic bombers, tactical bombers can only be considered light.)
Pull the joint development of the Russian SU-34 China, the Chinese economy for the plight of the Russian Sukhoi, SU-27 China urgently needed, and SU-30 and other aircraft orders and new project development costs and other special circumstances, the proposed joint development of "flying Panther III "program, China undertakes major R & D expenses, but the" Flying Leopard III "intellectual property rights belong to China (and not to the SU-27 and SU-30 were only authorized to assemble.) "Flying Leopard III" than the SU-30 and SU-34 fly farther, higher load of bombs, and missiles with a machine containing the ability to stealth penetration ability and 2 times higher than the supersonic cruise capability.

Configuration from weapons of view, "Flying Leopard 3A" the short-range self-defense weapon system for the 110 kg weight of a 6-23 type of six 23 mm improvement of "Thor" cannon, the maximum rate of fire of 6,000 rounds / minute. The other individual special type of "Flying Leopard 3" does not require gun, but can be installed under a single management unit 30 mm or 23 mm caliber twin gun pod. "The new Flying Leopard 3" has a total of 15 pylons, flying leopard than 9 plug-in points were significantly improved. This is only the American F-15K of the world's second with a total of 15 aircraft pylons. Therefore, the types of weapon of choice in addition to using the AM-39, C-601/611, C-801/802, the new C-803 supersonic anti-ship missiles, but also with Russia's KH-65SE subsonic cruise missiles, and KH-31A (AS-17) supersonic anti-ship missiles, KH-31P supersonic anti-radiation missiles and more advanced KH-41 supersonic anti-ship missiles. Modern 2 destroyer 3M90 series of improved anti-ship missiles can be mounted to the "Flying Leopard 3" to use. The other for short-, medium-range ground attack weapons include active duty and the development of the domestic and foreign conventional bombs, laser guided bombs, air defense weapons out of the loop projection. Guidance with which equipment can meet the body by replacing the "plug-in modules" to facilitate the solution, or use low-altitude navigation pod includes at least all-weather, digital FLIR / laser targeting pod and other means to solve the combination.
From the fire control systems, the present, the world's advanced fighters are a full digital autopilot and four redundant fly-by systems; The system is redundant and central microprocessor, such as the U.S. military's MIL-STD -1750A software command control. With four redundant fly-made systems; system reliability significantly improved.
Upon request, the "New Flying Leopard 3" glass cockpit space to achieve a level of three times the standard configuration, and the F-10 at the same level. Two seats are equipped with wide-angle HUD and made three color high brightness multifunction displays, and with a helmet sight function. . The display can be recorded with multiple video subsystems to monitor complex, "Flying Leopard," the head-up display can be linked with the autopilot, even if the plane changed course, able to stabilize the pressure line of sight on the target. In addition, it is still calculated with continuous release point, calculated continuously hit points and other functions, and to install an angular velocity of the bombing of the system to improve the accuracy of the hit free-fall weapon. Sideslip angle sensor newly revised amendment to fire control system, the impact of sideslip angle on the arms, but also for the accurate calculation of the navigation of weapons wind speed, wind direction purposes. In order to play "Flying Leopard 3" maximum power of machines to install a modified "Sea King-B1"-type machine contained information exchange dedicated high-speed data link, with a new cable machine and a dedicated signal analysis and processing high-speed computers and multi-mode precision guidance system detection module, the "New Flying Leopard 3" became the first Chinese-made high-speed data link dedicated combat aircraft. Therefore, "the new Flying Leopard 3" with the one power detection, and directing the aircraft to fly more combat capability to meet the enemy Leopard 3.
From the appearance, China's "New Flying Leopard 3" to switch to a new design with middle-sweep wing leading edge flaps ceremony. In addition, in order to improve performance and strengthen the aerodynamic shape stealth, "New Flying Leopard 3" using the "S"-shaped inlet, and inlet new nano-absorbing paint coating to reduce the aircraft radar reflectivity cross-section positive and infrared signals characteristics, and have adopted the wing-body fusion, the entire machine application of new composite materials increased significantly. Later will "Flying Leopard 3" to external "hard" a built-in retractable refueling equipment to improve the "soft style" refueling equipment, in order to further enhance the stealth machine. Therefore, the "New Flying Leopard 3" is the first kind of use of computer-aided design modified form of semi-stealth fighter.
From the stealth performance point of view, the "New Flying Leopard 3A" using a newly developed radar absorbing paint, making the probability of the aircraft being detected greatly reduced. In addition, the latter modified the "Flying Leopard 3B / C" will increase the utilization of new composite materials, sleek body and a combination of canopy, canopy edge, arms and weapons built by the door jagged edges, etc. combination of lines, can effectively reduce radar reflection. Late improvement of "Flying Leopard 3B / C" vertical tail will be designed to tilt. As the use of airborne weapons, and half buried, and plug a balanced approach, about 80% of the stealth aircraft will rely on shape to determine the effect, while the remaining part of the stealth effect, you need a new type of radar absorbing material (RAM), Radar absorbing structure (RAX) and other methods to solve the implementation. After the round nozzle will also be newly developed stealth replaced by three-dimensional vectoring nozzle, in order to further reduce the infrared signature. Expected due to effective stealth measures, the latter modified the "New Flying Leopard 3D" radar cross section (RCS) will be not more than 0.00X square meters.
[Transfer from Jagged Community http://bbs.tiexue.net/] Clearly, the "New Flying Leopard 3" of the electronic warfare system performance is the best active fighter, but with the world advanced level there is a gap. Therefore, the country will also develop a kind infrared / laser jammer and multi-mode active tactical jamming pod. In addition, because the "New Flying Leopard 3" which has a large load of bombs, machine features a large internal volume, in addition to hanging float anchored to consider increasing the air tanker refueling equipment to act as partners, will also be considered for the development of its modified " Flying Leopard 3E "dedicated electronic warfare jamming aircraft reconnaissance. If possible, future "new Flying Leopard 3E" will be added EF-111 electronic warfare aircraft and F-18EF dedicated electronic warfare aircraft and a dedicated electronic warfare aircraft! Of course, this should be the "New Flying Leopard 3" to determine the future purpose of use. In addition, if the strategic China-made supersonic cruise missiles once the research is successful, "New Flying Leopard 3" series of operational combat aircraft will be able to significantly extend the range, and can temporarily make up for China has no aircraft carriers and equipment shortages and the development of domestic aircraft carrier in front of "neutral . " At this point, "New Flying Leopard 3" has become a new type of "force multiplier"!
