Engine failure forced one of China’s most advanced fighter jets to make an emergency landing.

In a rare move, the normally secretive People’s Liberation Army allowed state television to report the incident and even provided footage of the jet as it struggled to remain balanced in the air (click here to see the video).

Diplomats said that the incident underscored the problems the PLA has had developing an engine for the fighter. "They will be very disappointed by this,” one said.

The J-10, which China has taken about 20 years to make, was on a training exercise with deputy regiment air force commander Li Feng at the controls. He tried to exercise a tricky manoeuvre at an altitude of 4,500 metres when the engine failed, state media reported. Realising the the jet could lose power at any time, he requested permission to return.

hope not kez, but be careful in one because apparently they have bad engines.

Bail out and hit 9! I always miss the 9 though and go splat. Hope the pilot made it alright, maybe he had Pr0 settings and used shift or space.

Stiill seven kilometers from the airfield, the engine stopped and the jet began to lose altitude at a rate of 25 metres per second. The pilot succeeded in gliding the fighter onto the runway without power. The rear parachute also failed, but he succeeded in bringing the fighter to a halt after taxiing for some 1,400 metres down the runway. The entire landing took 104 seconds, state television said. The success of the pilot may have influenced their decision to broadcast the landing.

Even the F-22's has had some fuck ups, I remember reading a story where a pilot was trapped in the cockpit and they had to use a chainsaw, yes, a chainsaw to shred open the canopy and pull him out

Of an F-22.

I knew it. do you remember how that plane always was shaking a little bit? made it hard, especially at high speed, to aim the cannons properly? we all should have known it had to do with the engines.

Still, me thinks there's a slight difference in magnitude between a failure to open a cockpit on the ground and an engine deciding to shut off in mid air.

EA now needs to patch the J10 to have it's engine fail when doing "tricky maneuvers" above 4500m.

It already does, but it does it in any jet. more like 900m though

Looks like the J-10 isn't the only advanced fighter in development with problems.  Too bad this pilot wasn't so lucky .
