A recent report (November 2016) suggested that 611 Institute is studying a semi-stealth concept of FC-1 (JF-17 Block IV?) to further extend its export potential. The aircraft might have certain stealth features such as a redesigned stealth nose with a one-piece F-22 style canopy.

That's an old fanboy art.

The Aircraft on Top is the new Aircraft and the one Below is the Old Aircraft. The Chinese writing points out the Differences between the two aircraft like the Tail and the Wings.

These Pics are original from a PAC video plus I think Ldp pylon will look something like the one above

Which video is this?

I think it's one of PAC video found on their website and on YouTube
ARF

Personally i think

AESA
NEw engine with TVC
5th generation avionics
redesigned airframe
e.g Diamond nose
reduced RCS
IRST
PL-21D as Primary BVR or indegenous BVR
ECM like Spectra

and many more unknown goodies

A dedicated thread for JFT III as it is only 4 years far frrom reality

thats speculation not fact

thats speculation not fact

Absolutely, correct.... too much speculation and wish list. Wait and see is best approach at this point. This is just 3rd iteration and there will be a lot more more thereafter including possible engine replacement. We are still at very early development lifecycle. Kaizen approach is always the best; you dont want too many changes which will have their own side effects.

However the ultimate goal is to have a plane that matches capabilities of gripen both in terms of egronomics, operations albeit at much lower cost; airframe will evolve further to leveraging more composites and a cleaner frame which uses the body for lift as well.

Note, i am not referring to f-16 in terms of capabilities because that was never the goal; if however it comes close to it then even better.

i am just expecting AESA, updated engine, and 2 additional hard points under the fuselage

 

[Introvert]

Is JF17 Thunder blk 1 & 2 both equipped with AESA radar.

 

[BILAL=98]

No

 

[BILAL=98]

Is JF17 Thunder blk 1 & 2 both equipped with AESA radar.

I Think only blk 3

Block three is going to have aesa mach2.0 and irst confirmed

 

[BetterPakistan]

Block three is going to have aesa mach2.0 and irst confirmed

Bhai

AESA radar + Helment Mounted Display + IRST + Mach 2.0 + Better Avionics + More payload and Block 3 is truly going to be latest 4++ generation fighter jet.

Mach 2 not happening ... design limitations ...

Although TWR will improve which is more important than speed
