JF-17B Updates, News & Discussion

[wasileo80]

Nope, i am talking about intake, it does seem a bit wider

Those were not wider, infact that looks wider as it covered by the protector. And Protector are large and fat in that matter. So its B version same as other B variants. Thank you.

I know everyone might be interested in the specifications poster here:

Mach 1.5 is the top speed for the JF17B. Interesting!

Per OEM specs max speed is 700 knots and Mach 1.6 not sure what’s stated here

Also the ranges are combat ranges and not ferry ??

Previous specs were

Ferry 3000 km with all three tanks and ~1300 plus for a2a and 1000 km for a2g with three tanks


Not sure every events has different specs so will go with cAtac specs

The top speed of the Thunder recently shown on some of the specs are quite suspect ...

Local Speed of Sound at 40000 ft (standard top speed altitude) = 659.8 mph

JF-17B Top Speed per Specs Here
648 knotts = 746 mph
Mach Number becomes 1.13 not 1.5

JF-17A Top Speed per Specs Here
700 knotts = 805 mph
Mach Number becomes 1.22 not 1.6

Can someone explain this??

700 knots is IAS while 1.6 or max is usually at higher altitudes above 30-36k feet

Kindly review my post ... The Speed of Sound by altitude chart I have included in post negates your assessment.
