So, which one is the fighter prototype of so-called JF-17, and which one is the fighter prototype of so-called FC-1?

why you getting it too deep man ?
everyone is saying here only difference is sub systems and weapons and seat difference . Pakistan purchased sub systems from Brazil - British - south africa - french - and local systems+ weapons . what is wrong here if someone call it different model ?

 

[HalfMoon]

fighter borns as fc-1 than if Pakistan evolves it than its called jf-17 and if China evolves it than its fc-1 but its borned as fc-1.

The better analogy would be

Pakistan is the Father

China is the Mother

The boy children are called JF-17

The girl children are called FC-1

Fuselage is just a part of the fighter. There are many other sub-systems which differentiate the final fighter's capabilities.

engine - fuselage - radar -gun- most weapons -sensors -almost everything is same .few changes in jf-17 which suit Pakistan . but they will not exported as third party sale issue . for example Pakistan itself buy them use not to sale .

Pakistan creates the jet 58% and rest contribution if of china,russia(engine) and then south africa,british etc.

But My point was that Only Fuselage would remain common as it exclusively made by Pakistan only. China does not make the fuselage.

for example, tomorrow the Russian engine could be replaced with a Chinese engine in JF-17 or FC-1 or both.

That is why I said Pakistan is the Father - The dominating male.

FC-1 & JF-17 are on the two sides of the vertical tail respectively.

So, FC-1 and JF-17 refer to the same aircraft.
