This constrains the weapon-bay volume and shape, and effectively subdivides the bays into four zones - two AAM bays and two heavy store sections. As Amy Butler reports in Aviation Week this week, too, the weapon bays, wrapped around the engine, get hot and noisy.) |0 T3 ?! }7 [2 h0 f7 s
这些都制约了飞机的武器舱的外形和大小,事实上把武器舱割裂为四个部分,两个空空导弹弹仓,两个重载荷弹仓。就如Amy Butler本周在航空周刊上报道的一样,弹仓紧紧环绕于发动机周围,承受着高温和高震动的考验。

One of the photos of the new Shenyang stealth fighter, apparently designated J-31, that appeared on Chinese defense websites over the weekend is such a colossal gimme that it has to have been deliberate. Direct head-on shot? Check.Commercially available aircraft tug? Check. Extreme telephoto, so that perspective effects are lost in the noise? Check.

0 e$ E! p" {/ g8 s) `' LThe J-31's wingspan is an F-35-like 37.5 feet, unless my Soviet-watching skills have deserted me. This makes it smaller than the F-22 and considerably smaller than the Chengdu J-20. A good early guess is that the engines are Klimov RD-93s - imported in large numbers for the JF-17 - with a Chinese-built engine to follow.3 Y% I% [4 f0 K! g. \
J-31跟球电相仿的翼展约为37.5英尺,除非我警惕的无产阶级火眼金睛把我欺骗了。这使得该机小于F-22,更远小于成飞J-20,初步稳妥地猜测,发动机是克里莫夫RD93S,之前有为JF-17大量进口过,接下来会代之以土鳖国产发动机。

Turning to the side view of the jet, it looks as if the engines are installed to the rear of the bulkhead that carries the main landing gears. And with no lift fan bay to worry about, the designers have been able to install long weapon bays on the centerline: what will be interesting is how the inlet ducts are routed to optimize internal space.. x" O3 E. e7 w) A3 v" t! c
转到侧面去看这架战机,发动机似乎是装置于起落架舱室的后部,而且没有令人头疼的升力风扇,设计者们便可在机体中央安置更长的武器弹仓:而进气道该选择何种路径以便优化内部空间,就会很有趣了。

/ W. s3 O4 K& g+ oOverall, the most important point is that the J-31 does not look like a competitor for the J-20 - but as a complement to it. Which, again, might point to the new fighter being a JSF to the J-20's F-22.
+ G8 {7 T9 J% N/ }( i9 l: n总而言之,最重要的一点是J-31看起来并非是J-20的挑战者,更像是一个它的后援。这一点更说明这个新机型之于J-20,正如JSF之于F-22一样。9 U/ ^; L+ ~# g$ f3 ~2 @$ H
