JF-17 Thunder in Dubai Air Show 2013.

[SBD-3]

Dubai 2013. Day 2.

Interestingly, CM-802AK(G) is a ground attack version of cruise missile not an anti-ship version (Which is CM-802 AK or AKK)

Here are some pics of the air show displaying the JF17

So there is finally a new maneuver performed by JFT .... Slow fly by (Stall position) as tweeted by Alen Warnes. Notice deployed air breaks in flight.

would it be jf-17mkII taking part?.

What are the Change in MK2 over MK1?

What are the Change in MK2 over MK1?

Mostly in avionics , nothing structural except a IFR probe . That is what we all know .

JF-17 looks nice, and i read a PAK pilot said the JF-17 flight as good as F-16A/B.
Well i think when JF-17 can completely produced in Pakistan, it's the time continue PAK's 2x engines medium-size fighter project with China CAC(Cheng Du).

Than it can hardly be told MK2. It is batter to say it a JF17 UPG or upgraded.

Many Thanks for the video of JF-17 looking so cool ....

There is a hell of difference in power and other thing. They are not comparable aircraft.

That is exactly the reason it isn't called Mk2 , it is known as Block II .

I said " thats all we know " about the new block sitting in our homes , we haven't seen the final product yet , now have we ?

I think the pilot means flight control, as easy as fly F-16A/B.
Ths,bro.

That is right. If you continuously study the aerodynamic, you will find the way to improve the performance. You can think of slashing down the weight of aircraft. You can start replacing metal with composite. you can draw a program of continual improvement.

See this is a aerodynamically stable platform. So flight will always feel stable but it won't be as maneuverable as other aerodynamically unstable platforms.

Well the JF-17 aircraft design is successful, see above F-16a/b vs JF-17 cockpits there's not different.
A good stable platform(JF-17's airframe) + good avionics control = comfortable flight, so i agree the PAK pilot said (Of course he didn't mention engine power and weapons load). JF-17 lack a powerful jet engine, RD-93 not enough.

Pics fixed...
