I guess the XJ10. It kinda of looks like a J10 and the pilot has a Chicom flight helmet. Smile

Pappy

Everything other than the "chin-take" in that pics screams MiG-21 so I voted YF-21 but since the Ruskies dont hold to our system of naming prototypes it's probobly wrong.

Good eye Kap, but didnt the Chinese base nearly all their major improvements and updates off the MiG-21 during the 1970s thru the late 1980s until we cut off all aid? Very Happy

But then again, is this bird Chinese like Pappy thinks... Or?

I voted XJ-10, but I havent the faintest what it actually could be called.

Does look very much like a Mig-21 descendant though. A very goofy one at that.

Hmmmm...

I have heard alot of ties to the J-10 in these posts, and then in the same posts many referrences to the MiG-21...

Correct me if I am wrong, but the J-10 developed from the F-16/Lavi connection, and not the MiG-21, right?

So which is it, J-10 or MiG-21 based...

And is this bird Chinese or Russian based, or who? Cool

Afterall, wasnt the Mig-21 produced in many other nations then just these? Twisted Evil

I don't understand why there is so little interest. Surprised You pose some interesting and hard questions. Smile

You might as well post the answer.

Yea I guess my questions are just to hard for the lame brains that visit this forum... Just Kidding! Laughing

The answer is...

Ye-8

You were all correct in saying it resembled the MiG-21...

The Ye-8 was an advanced development of the MiG-21, but it was created back in 1960!!

The Soviets had the right idea, but blew it by not developing it. This version of the MiG-21 would have eaten F-4 Phantoms alive!

It was turned down for production because it was considered to complicated!! Shocked

Sorry Pappy, she had nothing to do with the Chinese! Smile

Quote:
Originally, the Ye-8 was designed as a prototype for next generation of MiG fighters. The design stage of the project started in 1960. Original designation for new airplane was MiG-23. The basis for this next generation fighter was greatly redesigned MiG-21PF.

Most prominent new features were redesigned front part of the airplane with Eurofighter-style jet intake, canard foreplanes and redesigned rear part of the fuselage to accomodate new engine. There was great number of other features that were different from MiG-21PF -from new ejection seat and canopy to modified rudder and new fin under the rear part of the fuselage.

Two prototypes (Ye-8/1 and Ye-8/2) were built in 1962. These prototypes differed in details from each other. These prototypes were subsequently extensively tested. The Ye-8/1 was lost during testing due to engine malfunction.

The Ye-8 project was cancelled in 1963, but it served as testbed for testing new technologies for later generation of Fishbeds and also for MiG-23 Flogger.

A swing and another miss! I had some doubts about my guess of XJ10 a couple of weeks ago, but I had already voted. However, these polls are a learning experience. Dispite the sometimes low interest, please continue them. Smile

Pappy
