" great minds think alike ".

if only you could elaborate what he meant sir

JF-17B's tail seems less inclined and resembles to that of J-10s. Unless this is a mistake by model makers.

its really inclined...recall the jf17b model at display on zhuhai 2016..it was same

Found this model from Zhuhai and it seems as if indeed the tail was different already there .... but no-one noticed !??

The tail is different for a reason. the extended cockpit make the wind flow curve above the cabin retouch further down the jets length so it was better to make the tail more steep and extended back. This would make the tail lighter and extending it back would give the same maneuverability.

Also from Zhuhai

Rear cockpit is stepped up for better visibility and not like F16 at same level with repeater

Know nothing about aeronautics. But, from the outset it looks sleek, simple and straightforward. We are believers in simplicity and straightforwardness, whereas Satan is all about complexity and convolution. KISS - keep it simple and stupid....

@Deino could u find pic with both models as both models have different tail design & it appear both are the model of JF-17

The one at Zhuhai and the one we saw a few days ago at IDEX BOTH have a similar slant tail as far as i can notice.

yes.... first we ignore it as mistake but Deino made a good point that a same mistake could not be repeat at two different occasions specially the first pic of Zuhai show two JF-17 (A & B) with two different Tail designs ...

All true things are simple.

A good design is also visibly beautiful. There is something in it which makes your ind say "yes, that's the way to go". I find JF-17 B has achieved it.
