JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 7]

Can the paf do night refueling?

In the above image you can see the light to the left of the prove, just above the wing, that is for night time refuelling

 

[monitor]

All aircraft going to air to air refuel capable but how many of them have achieve the capabilities until now?

Probably you are right but I think the one in the picture was a probe on testing which is indicative from yellow premier and same design is on other pictures as well ... whereas probe on the operational aircraft is slightly difference and slightly sleek ... I am attaching both of the pictures ... but both pictures are from internet so I am not sure about authenticity ...

Once you have a sample, It should be pretty simple to copy that, essentially it is a pipe extension/retraction system attached to a fuel reservoir and a pump with some sensors. I am very confident if this task is given to our aeronautical engineers they can replicate the system in a short time.

Would be cool if they can integrate the UPAZ pods to an airliner so that the force can benefit from a more fuel efficient platform.

First pic is with the first prototype probe, 2nd is the final design that went on aircraft.

An awaited footage, finally. Nice compilation. There was bit of mentioning about such shoot is being done and we did see few photos but this is time, like a treat and done professionally that may help for marketing.

The JF-17 in that load configuration rolls 720 degrees from -50 to -44 seconds = 720 deg/6 sec = 120 deg/sec. I am sure it will be higher when empty. Not even sure if this is the high as loaded.

Yes, lots of rounding up

Can you get the title changed from fags to fangs? That is a rather embarrassing typo. Thanks.

When can we expect a higher definition video? Dubai airshow perhaps?

Not to nitpick, but the footage used in the air and on the runway are different (the runway JF-17s aren't even armed).

Yeah I noticed that as well. Couldn't have been that hard to have two cameras for one loaded takeoff. The shots cut between missiles and no missiles throughout the takeoff.
