China's advanced jet symbol J10, first developed and built by Chinese engineers, will be showed outside the office of China's largest plane maker AVIC-I(Aviation Industry Corporation I) in Beijing. The plane was unveiled in January, 2007.



As reported, the J10 looks something like the American F-16, and weighs about the same (19 tons). Like the F-16 the J10 has only one engine (built in Russia). It's no accident that the J10 resembles the F-16, because Israel apparently sold them technology for their Lavi jet fighter, a "super-F-16" that Israel abandoned because it was too expensive.
