JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 7]

. . .
What kind of Missile or Bombs are those ?
JF-17B (Serial 0002) Carrying Two "CS/BBF1 500 lb or 250 lb" Fuel Air Explosive (FAE) Bombs "Precision Guided Munition"

"Fuel Air Explosive Bombs are best known type of "Thermobaric Weapons". It's is a type of explosive that uses oxygen from the surrounding air to generate a high-temperature explosion. In practice, the blast wave typically produced by such a weapon is of a significantly longer duration than that produced by a conventional condensed explosive".

Indian Air Chief was wondering when is Pakistan flying the next batch of JF17 Thunder

Any chance we will be seeing the next 24 Thunders Block III batch flying soon ?
 
. . .
In most videos, its seen that JF-17 tilts left after takeoff, is it just my mis-observation or it has some reason behind it?

Two reasons.


Spiraling slipstream and the Torque effect.

Spiraling slipstream happens when the engine turbine is rotating fast and the aircraft is moving slow. For example, take off. During takeoff, air accelerated behind the turbine (known as the slipstream) follows a corkscrew pattern. As it wraps itself around the fuselage of your plane, it hits the left side of the aircraft, creating a yawing motion, and making the aircraft yaw left. It usually happens with propellors.

Similarly, most western aircraft have engines that rotate clockwise when viewed from the cockpit. That's where torque comes into play. As you throttle up your engine for takeoff, the right-turning direction of your engine turbine or propeller forces the left side of your airplane down toward the runway. When the left side of the airplane is forced down onto the runway, the left tire has more friction with the ground than the right tire, making your aircraft want to turn left.

Hence, naturally, jets are better able to pull left and appear to be 'very agile'
