Wait, where did they go?

Fc1 CFT look different.

That's all you ever said, I believe. Are they operational and in regular use? Why haven't we seen any pictures?

 

[Maxpane]

why there is no news about CFT on JF17?

 

[RAMPAGE]

@messiach

Alright, so they were tested but not adopted. Any idea why?

 

[Dazzler]

YES. Look back at my posts.

Save us all time and excitement by sharing details here.

 

[khanasifm]

No JFT picture was shared but @messiach and @Oscar alluded towards the shape and appearance of EF/Rafale CFTs that Thunder's CFT looks like it.

 

[Sine Nomine]

YES. Look back at my posts.

Madam with due respect,would CFT's would be part of blk3?
How much drag they impose as compared to those of F-16?

 

[messiach]

Yes, if required basis as onboard refueling. Miniscule if any. Its not a technical enigma.

CFT are used on as required basis. Yes block3 wings, LERX and posteior fuselage has been re-worked from scratch. Increased payload and fuel capacity. It will harbor a posterior spine similar to B eventually.
