The Hongdu JL-10 , also initially known as Hongdu L-15 Falcon , [3] is a supersonic advanced jet trainer and light combat aircraft developed by Hongdu Aviation Industry Corporation (HAIC). [4] [5] It is used by the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) as a lead-in fighter trainer (LIFT). [6]

Development [ edit ]

China Aviation Industry Corporation II (AVIC II) was working toward a new advanced trainer for the People's Liberation Army (PLA) by 2000; that year AVIC II contracted the Yakovlev Design Bureau from Russia ? and designer of the Yak-130 trainer ? as a technical and scientific consultant for the L-15 programme. [7] The L-15 would compete with the Guizhou JL-9 developed in parallel by China Aviation Industry Corporation I . [8] The prototype was completed in September 2005 [9] and first flew on March 13, 2006. [1] The initial variants were a subsonic advanced jet trainer and a supersonic advanced fighter trainer. [1]

Development of the L-15B, a supersonic variant for LIFT, was announced in 2010. [4] It first flew on December 21, 2017. [10]

The China National Aero-Technology Import & Export Corporation (CATIC) ordered 12 L-15 jet trainers in November 2012; it was not known whether these were for ? or would be delivered to ? a third-party. [11]

Zambia ordered 6 advanced fighter trainers as the L-15Z [1] in 2014 for US$100 million ; [12] they were delivered in 2016 [1] and 2017. [10]

The first L-15 in PLAAF colors was seen in 2016. [13] The PLA used a few L-15s for flight-test evaluation before 2018. [10] The People's Liberation Army Navy received 12 L-15s in August 2018. [14] The PLAAF began using the JL-10 for LIFT in 2019. Compared to the less sophisticated JL-9, the JL-10 reduces candidate and conversion training time for more recent PLAAF aircraft. [6]

On 23 February 2022, the United Arab Emirates announced its intention to buy 12 L-15s, with an option for 36 more. [15] [16] The value of the deal was not released, the Emirati newspaper The National reported that China sells the L-15 for $10?15 million per unit. [17]

Design [ edit ]

The L-15 uses fly-by-wire (FBW) and a glass cockpit . [6]

The prototypes were powered by Lotarev DV-2 turbofans . [1]

The L-15A subsonic advanced jet trainer is powered by the Ivchenko-Progress AI-222-25 [1] and has seven weapon hardpoints. [10] The supersonic advanced fighter trainer variant is powered by the afterburning AI-222K-25. [1] According to a Ukrainian source, 25% of the aircraft is composed of composite materials and its service life is 10,000 hours. [18]

The L-15B light attack aircraft is powered by the AI-222K-25F [13] for a maximum speed of Mach 1.4. [4] Compared to the L-15A, the L-15B has shorter take-off and landing distances and two more hardpoints. [5]

The L-15A and L-15B use a PESA radar. [10] [1]
