JF-17 Block-3 -- Updates, News & Discussion

[Windjammer]

Big deal is the irrelevant article you shared to prove your point.

I did also post a picture of JF-17B with a pitot tube, something you were oblivious of.

Why has it taken so long, almost 3 years from BII to BIII if the incrementals are so small? Does a new radar and FBW system take 3 years to validate?

Blk3 entered preliminary design exactly two years ago. Yes, it does take two years for a thorough avionics upgrade followed by prototype building.

That tail number tho ....

haahahahaha...

Shouldn’t it be J31 Chinese working or J35 is another project ?

Which post? link!

Did you glean that from the recent AVIC Weibo post?

J35 is work in progress.

Is this based on your own work/connections

Read a bit about J35.

Can I ask what difference it makes to the fighter jet performance (aerodynamics etc.) if the vertical stabiliser is more straighter (like JF-17 Block I and II) or more slanting (like JF-17B).

Thanks

Due to addition of equipment the weight distribution has been changed which will be balanced Buy such modifications.

Thanks - but difference does it make ?

Aerodynamics. Maneuverability.

That’s not the answer.
Take F-16 for example, their Vertical stabilizers are slanted.

F-7 which is the basis of JF-17 centre fuselage, also happens to have a slanted VS.

I would like to know this in aviation terms as well. Physics is no problem for me @messiach

@messiach

Just forget the block 3... i bet we won’t see it before jan/feb now. Had they wanted it to be seen, it would have by now. Guess we will have to wait until further test flights to get a glimpse on the ‘MESSIAH’

This is exactly what I am asking as well.

i am starting to believe that flight is not about Block 3 at all. what is the secret...is it even a JF-17 look alike?

Everyone is free to believe whatever they want to !!!

Fact will remain fact !!!

So is PAF interested in J35?
