I think idea is to float new static pictures of jf17 with visible changes
Like dual seat & IFR probe

Another interesting that i noticed in all the pics and videos of JF-17B was that i could not see any kind of black smoke coming out of the engine. In the video where there is a chasing aircraft also a JF-17 with it, you can clearly see the chase plane emitting smoke but the JF-17B is not emitting any black smoke whether at ground or in the air.

Sir what do you think a new engine or a gunning afterburner all the way

NO NEW ENGINE

True!
But it is not a new engine as per the reports. May be some tweaks as we saw similar results on 23 March performance. There was no or little smoke there as well.

Does the airframe utilize more composites in the two seater variant?

Its to early to assume but in my opinion to remain cost effective

I thought the green primer indicate composites?

I said this a few times, but the PAF needs to paint the nose and front fuselage in the same shade. It changes the look of the JF-17, and for the better.

Great progress , certainly makes 2017 a memorable year

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

The point I want to get across is that someone needs to intimate someone that this hinge is not on for the production jf-17B. Enjoy the vid, by the way, apart from the hideous hinges, doesnt it looks bad@$$ killer over all...

Anyone here thought of the possibility of these things not actually being on the real production AC?

After all the B variant being shown is still a prototype , on its first flight.

These "hinges" and perhaps even that nose tip thing might not appear on the production variants.

Most probably yes WS-13
