The Chengdu J-10 (simplified Chinese: ?-10; traditional Chinese: ?-10; NATO reporting name: Firebird)[5] also known as Vigorous Dragon (Chinese: ??; pinyin: Menglóng), is a medium-weight, single-engine, multirole combat aircraft capable of all-weather operations, configured with a delta wing and canard design,[8] with fly-by-wire flight controls, and produced by the Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (CAC) for the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF), Pakistan Air Force (PAF) and People's Liberation Army Naval Air Force (PLANAF). The J-10 is mainly designed for air-to-air combat, but can also perform strike missions.

In 1981, PLAAF Commander Zhang Tingfa submitted a proposal to Deng Xiaoping for the development of a third-generation fighter for CN¥ 500 million; it was accepted later that year by the Central Military Commission (CMC). It was the first Chinese aircraft program to incorporate modern development and acquisition processes.[9] In one departure from the past, the supplier was now responsible directly to the customer; this allowed the PLAAF to communicate its requirements and ensure they were met; previously suppliers were responsible to their managing agency, which could produce products that failed to meet end user requirements.[9] Another difference was the selection of a design through competition, rather than allocating a project to an institute and using whatever design that institute created.[10]

Design proposals were made by the three major aircraft design institutes. Shenyang's proposal was based on its cancelled J-13 with a F-16-like strake-wing. Hongdu's proposal was MiG-23/Su-24-like with variable-sweep wing. Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute's (CADI) proposal was a Saab 37 Viggen-like design based on its cancelled J-9.[10] CADI's proposal was selected in February 1984. The following month, CADI and Chengdu Fighter Factory were formally directed to develop and manufacture the aircraft, respectively.[11] Song Wencong (???) became chief designer.[12]

The first J-10 was assembled in June 1997.[11] Lei Qiang flew the first flight[12] on 23 March 1998;[1] Lei was chosen for his experience with modern, foreign, third-generation aircraft.[12] PLA training units received the J-10 ahead of schedule starting in 2003.[12] Weapons tests occurred in the fall of that year.[16] The design was finalized in 2004.[11] Rumors of crashes during flight testing were actually mishaps related to the AL-31 engine.[17]
