Shengyang JJ-8II Finback

 

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

 

The JJ-8II Finback mod is a what if plane created by me. It´s trainer version for the J-8II and further

developed fighters. It`s in use with the PLAAF as a trainer and ground attack aircraft. It was developed

in the 80`s. The SAC began to study the possibility of adding the aerial refuelling ability to the J-8II

fighter, later to the JJ-8II. An experimentally modified JJ-8II fitted with a fixed refuelling probe made

its first flight on 21 March 1991. The first successful in-flight refuelling from a H-6 tanker

possibly took place in 1992/93. The aircraft entered the PLAAF and PLA Naval Aviation service in 1996 as

the JJ-8II, and made its first public debut on 1 October 1999, during the flypast in Beijing to celebrate

the 50th anniversary of the PRC.

 

The JJ-8II has a fixed, non-retractable refuelling probe installed on the starboard side of the cockpit.

Chinese newspaper reported that the early JJ-8II design suffered from high volume of noise caused by the

air passing around the fixed refuelling probe in high-speed flight. Such noise would cause serious

disruption to the pilot inside the cockpit. The problem was solved later by modifying the probe design.

Furthermore, only a small number of PLA pilots are capable of performing the dangerous rendezvous with

H-6 tanker.

 

The JJ-8II configuration features WP-13B turbojet engines and the KLJ-1 (Type-1471) Pulse Doppler fire

control radar. With the radar upgrade comes the ability to fire the PL-12/SD-10 MRAAM employing an Active

Radar Homing (ARH) seeker. The JJ-8II, featuring a glass cockpit, developed for the J-8F and enhanced

air-to-ground capability using the AS-17 'Krypton' anti-radar missile, has also been demonstrated.

New build JJ-8II`s have an improved "Type-02" airframe. The Type-02 is heavier than the original airframe,

but can tolerate higher G-loadings.
