El decano del Colegio Oficial de Pilotos de Aviación Civil (Copac),
Luis Lacasa, explica que con este sistema de descenso continuo "a unos
180 kilómetros de distancia el piloto pone los motores al ralentí y
desciende como planeando. A unos 11 kilómetros de la pista empezaría a
meter potencia para realizar el aterrizaje normal".

According to the report from Jane's, development of the subsystems, including the engine and weapon suite for the next generation fighter, has been under way for some time. A photograph of a wind tunnel model published with the article showed a twin-engine aircraft with twin vertical tail fins. The article text mentioned that the aircraft would carry its weapons internally like the F-22 Raptor. New Scientist called attention to the angular, faceted features of the design, comparing them to the F-117 Nighthawk. Jane's also linked the programme with China's development of an engine with thrust vectoring capability.

UAVS contra los Piratas


http://fis.com/fis/worldnews/worldnews.asp?monthyear=&day=12&id=34540&l=s&special=&ndb=1%20target=
El ejército de Estados Unidos desplegó sus aviones teledirigidos MQ-9
Reaper para controlar el océano Índico con su sistema de visión
infrarroja total, informa la BBC.
El hecho de que haya ocurrido ya un ataque en un lugar más alejado de
la costa demuestra que la piratería se debe combatir en un área mucho
más amplia. El martes, un barco petrolero fue atacado a unas 1.000
millas náuticas (1.850 kilómetros) de la costa de Somalia.

Pakistan Buying Chinese J-10 Fighters





Defense Industry Daily

http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/Pakistan-Buying-Chinese-J-10-Fighters-05937/

Pakistan and China have been cooperating for a number of years on the JF-17/ FC-1 Thunder, a low-medium performance, low-cost aircraft that has attracted interest and orders from a number of 3rd World air forces. In November 2009, a long-rumored deal was announced for China's Jian-10/ FC-20 4+ generation fighter, whose overall performance compares well with the F-16C/D Block 52 aircraft that Pakistan has ordered from the United States.
The J-10 has been reported as a derivative of the 1980s Israeli Lavi project

http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htairfo/articles/20091112.aspx


November 12, 2009: China has agreed to sell Pakistan it's domestically designed J-10 fighter. China and Pakistan have also jointly developed the JF-17, and Pakistan is buying up to 300 of these. The J-10 is, on paper, superior to the JF-17. Pakistan would like to buy up to a hundred J-10s, but that will depend on whether the cash will be available. The first 36 J-10s bought will cost close to $39 million each (with spare parts and maintenance support.)
