WOW. Is this design from the PAC end or the Chinese aviation industry. I mean was this design produced by PAC(Pakistani) engineers or Chinese engineers. Will the prototypes be made by Pakistan first or China. But just for the record, the plane looks really good.
the JF-17 is an extension of the Sabre II program that the Chinese were supposed to develop with American help. that was dropped after the Tiananmen Square incident.sorry guys i hav little knowledge abt jf-17,can u brief me on pakistans contributionto this........the only contribution i know till date is the hud.........and even if it is codeveloped most systems are chinese so it must be called licensed production right or else even su-30mki has to be called indegenous.

much later, Pakistan joined hands with China and revived the project. Pakistan had its own share in the development of the JF-17 besides funding. the avionics of the aircraft greatly improved due to PAF expertise, CAC decided to improve the J-10 based on JF-17's cockpit.
the current airframe is nothing like the Sabre-II. Pakistani engineers can be given credit, but PAF requirements also gave a sense of direction for the project. Neo is more knowledgeable with these things, he's personally met some of the crew. You can see the clipped-delta wing design that was taken from the F-16, pakistani engineers can be given credit.
this can't be compared to HAL and Su-30MKI, the JF-17 was co-developed. Pakistan is, more importantly, trying to manufacture aircraft from raw materials. i've talked with a lot of people and we do have people capable of designing aircraft. however, we lack funding, manufacturing, and advanced metallurgy. manufacturing is not as simple as people think it to be, it needs to be done with precision all the way down to the micron.
as for the pictures above, let's just say this thing is not too far off. it may be closer than we think. don't ask me more, my lips are sealed.
i dont understand this, the joint project of pak and china to produce a fighter jet is over!!, is this project still going on and running if i am wrong??, or this project is halted for a moment, and is pakistani govt funding for developing these planes with china, without this info, i dont take it more than a mere fun for pakistani enthusiasts!!!
were in you comma?? or something..?? JF-17 has already been inducted in PAF though currently in test phase.. end of this year PAF will receive first fully capable combat squadron... paskitan has supported financially and technically for this project and has export wrights in fact azerbijan has placed an order of 26 from pakistan.. PAF has inetially ordered 150 in service by 2014 and by 2015-17
a newer version could be expected with upgraded features... this is what the concept is all about.. considering LCA 3rd tranche will be equiped with AESA radar so i think PAF will counter this threat with induction of new version of 100 JF-17..
