	Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) Lavi
		As originally conceived, the Lavi was to have been a light attack aircraft to replace the elderly McDonnell Douglas A-4 Skyhawk, the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II and the IAI Kfir, remaining in service with the IDF/AF.
		The powerplant of the Lavi was the Pratt and Whitney PW1120 turbofan, rated at 6,137 kg dry and 9,337 kg with reheat and was a derivate of the F100 turbofan.
		The weapons carriage of the Lavi was mainly semi-conformal, thus reducing drag, with two hardpoints beneath each wing (the inboard pair was wet for the carriage of two 2,548 liter auxilliary fuel tanks), plus the wingtip rail and seven underfuselage hardpoints (three tandem pairs plus one on the centreline).

	IAI Lavi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The IAI Lavi (Hebrew: לביא, a young lion) is a prototype concept fighter jet developed by Israel.
		The IAI had produced three prototypes out of the originally-planned five when the Israeli government decided to cancel the project because of budget problems and bickering among various economic and political pressure groups.
		Throughout the project's lifetime, Likud minister Moshe Arens, himself an IAI veteran, was the Lavi's main advocate.

	Lavi
		True - the IAI had previously produced the Nesher, Kfir and Tzukit, but those had essentially been upgrades - whereas this was a plane planned and manufactured in Israel from scratch.
		The single-seat Lavi was intended to replace the Skyhawks, and carry out a variety of air-to-ground attacks at close to medium range, as well as protecting the skies over Israel.
		Technically, the Lavi was a very advanced plane, with a modern aerodynamic shape that gave it excellent maneuverability, low armed drag, and the ability to carry a large payload at high speed to long distances.

	IAI Lavi
		The Lavi used a configuration similar to that of the then-General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon: single-engine, single-tail, with underslung inlet, bubble canopy and wingtip-mounted missiles.
		The Lavi was planned as a Contol-Configured-Vehicle, whereby high performance is achieved by making the aircraft inherently unstable and flyable only via computerized control.
		The TD was utilized for some time as a flying testbed for developing the advanced avionics systems of the Lavi for use in other applications.

		Both Lavi B-01 and Lavi B-02 were tandem two-seaters, with the rear cockpit occupied by test equipment and were not equipped with the full avionics fit and used mainly for aerodynamic testing.
		The weapons carriage of the Lavi was mainly semi-conformal, thus reducing drag, with two hardpoints beneath each wing (the inboard pair was wet for the carriage of two 2,548 litre auxilliary fuel tanks), plus the wingtip rail and seven underfuselage hardpoints (three tandem pairs plus one on the centreline).

		To compensate, the Lavi was outfitted with a sophisticated digital fly-by-wire system which allows the plane to take advantage of the of this particular wing design while eliminating its shortcoming.
		The Lavi was one of the first aircraft to feature this type of configuration, which has since become almost ubiquitous in many other fighter aircraft which have been developed around the world since the Lavi.
		However, while the Lavi project was cancelled, many of the aircraft's sub-systems and components continued to be developed by the Israeli aerospace industry and are nowadays available in the defense marketplace as separate systems.

		The Lavi was rather smaller and lighter, with a less powerful powerplant, and the thrust-to-weigth ratio was slightly lower across the board.
		The powerplant of the Lavi was the Pratt & Whitney PW1120 turbofan, rated at 6,137 kg dry and 9,337 kg with reheat and was a derivate of the F100 turbofan.
		Where the Lavi might really have scored heavely was in superconic manoeuvrability, basically due to the lower wave drag of a canard delta.

		The Lavi's avionics of the last generation tested on the Lavi TD are still considered as some of the best avionic equipment in the world.
		Also, the operational Lavi was supposed to have a modular avionics suite, that would have been upgraded every several years.
		So I think that an operational Lavi, especially of the last Lavis that were supposed to be delievered to the IDF/AF in 2003, would have been more advanced when it comes to avionics than the J-10.

	Aerospaceweb.org \| Aircraft Museum - Lavi
		The Lavi (young lion) program began in the late 1970s when IAI agreed to develop a new multi-role fighter to replace Israel's aging A-4 Skyhawk and Kfir combat aircraft.
		Though the Lavi appeared to be progressing well and two prototypes had completed over 80 flights, political and economic factors began to take their toll on the project.
		In addition, the capabilites of the Lavi were becoming increasingly similar to the F-16, and the US Congress feared the Lavi would interfere with export sales of the American fighter.

	Flight of the Lavi
		IAI had been founded in the 1950s by an expatriate American and built aircraft, missiles, and lesser products; it serviced these systems and provided many of their components through its own subsidiaries.
		Since IAI had stated that rcsearch and development (randd) would total $2.2 billion, he argued that it was the DoD whose estimates were being refined in the direction of those of Israel, and that, once other errors were accounted for, the Israeli estimates would be validated.
		It signaled that the Lavi was now a sufficiently well understood issue in the public mind that politicians could score points from their opposition to it.

	Kfir C.10
		However, the IAI C.10 is the latest in the line of Kfir multi-role fighters developed by matching the J-79 engine with the aiframe of the Dassault Mirage 5, and is also known the Kfir 2000, or the CE, the latter designation being applied to the fighters in service with Ecuador.
		Here the hearth of the new fire-control system is positioned, the EL/M-2032 Pulse-doppler (PD) radar, developed from the EL/M-2035 set designed for the canceled IAI Lavi (a light multi-role fighter design developed by Grumman and IAI in the mid-1980s, recently developed by the Chinese into their newest fighter, the J-10).
		For this reason, even if the IAI and the IDF/AF would probably be very glad to sell out all the remaining 200+ Kfir airframes stored at different places in the Negev Desert, no widespread new sales of the C.10 are to be expected — except to the current customers.

	QuickLink Aviation Links: IAI Kfir
		In 1983, IAI began to upgrade the Kfir C.2s/TC.2s to a new variant, the Kfir C.7/TC.7, which carried a modified version of the J79-GE-17E powerplant, with an additional 4.45 kN (1,000 lb st) of afterburning thrust, and an enhanced thrust-to-weight ratio.
		Since the J79 turbojet engine as well as much of the technology inside the Kfir are produced in Israel under U.S. license, all export sales of the Kfir are subject to prior approval from the U.S. State Department, a fact that has limited the sale of the Kfir to foreign nations.
		As of 2006, the IAI Kfir has been exported to Colombia, Ecuador, and Sri Lanka.

	J-10 production in problems? - Above Top Secret Conspiracy Community
		There is a superficial resemblance to each and both later types are clearly influenced by the design of the F-16 (GD even worked on the LAVI and IAI then helped with the J-10 so a link definitely exists) however the three aircraft are actually quite different in many key areas.
		And the LAVI was Israel's attempt to build a plane that would match the F-16, but was cancelled because they were convinced that it could never do so (even if it did have some minor modifications).
		After the 1987 cancellation of the Lavi, it was taken over by CAIC and the IAI carried on with the development of avionic equipment.

	IAF Lavi RIP [Archive] - Military Photos
		Lavi was designed as a light-weight intercept fighter with lenght of 14.5m.
		Lavi's canard wings overlap with the wings, while J10's quite seperated horizontally.
		The Lavi was originally designed as a short-range air support and interdiction aircraft, with a secondary mission of air superiority, while the PLAAF is interested in replacing its large fleet of outdated J-6 and J-7 fighters, for which air superiority capabilities remain a top priority while the air-to-ground attack capability is of secondary importance.

		IAI installed one PW1120 in the starboard nacelle of an F-4E-32-MC of the IDF/AF (Number 334/66-0327) to explore the airframe/powerplant combination for an upgrade programme of the F-4E, known as Kurnass 2000 (Heavy Hammer) or Super Phantom and to act as an engine testbed for the Lavi.
		After the cancellation of the Lavi programme the radar was offered for multi-role fighter retrofits, including the Denel Cheetah E. Go to Part III

	IAI Lavi-Aircraft of the Month-September 1999 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Lavi (Young Lion) was originally developed as a multirole fighter for the Israeli air force before program cancellation saw the prototypes used as technology demonstrator airframes.
		Despite promising results, the Lavi program was cancelled in 30 August 1987, mainly due to budget restrictions, US opposition and the availability of extra, cheaper F-16s.
		Israel denied lending any Lavis to China, so many people beliebe the Lavi may form the basis for China's Chengdu J-10 multirole fighter, which is due to enter service early next decade.

		IAI decided to continue to validate the main tasks of the programme, utilising the B-3 (third prototype) as a Technology Demonstrator (TD).
		Its prime objective is to serve as a demonstrator of advanced systems and technologies developed and produced by the Israeli industry, and to act as a testbed for future developments.
		The Lavi programme was terminated by the Israeli government 30 August 1987, but IAI continues to fly the B-3 two-seat prototype as a technology demonstrator (TD).

		The Company embarked on a new and expanded scope of activities based on IAI's responsibility and central role in the economy and security of Israel.
		IAI's marketing infrastructure was bolstered and joint ventures with foreign companies begun with the Lavi project served to expand connections and open doors to new markets.
		IAI expanded its UAV activity, which became one of its main fields and has made the Company number one in the world in this technology.

	The United States and the LAVI
		The history of the Lavi is noteworthy, not so much because it documents the cancellation of the most costly Israeli weapons program ever attempted, but because it reveals the heavy involvement of the United States in the aircraft's financing and development.
		Marvin Klemow, Washington's representative for IAI, flew to Tel Aviv with Dan Halperin, the economics minister at the Israeli Embassy in Washington.
		The Lavi story is not a happy one for any of the participants, and its termination--while justified on both financial and political grounds--left bitter feelings in many quarters.

	The IAI Lavi - PakDef Forums
		Lavi essentially seems to be an f-16 updated with late-80s early 90s aerodynamic advances, namely changing the layout to delta-wing with canards.
		Israeli F-16 pilots who flew the Lavi or saw it fly commented that it would leave the F-16 in the dust.
		The practical thing for China to have done was to cosmetically change the design a bit and remove signs of a Lavi pedigree.
