An analysis of ground clearance for the JF-17B would be much appreciated @JamD .
source?
Some tidbits by @QuwaI stand corrected, that statement was just under Alan Warnes' comment - but the news is disclosed by @SHAH820, at this post #654. I am quoting his post below;
-Three JF-17Bs are under production, two of which will join the PAF. (Alan warnes via AFM)
-The swept tail houses components for a new three-axis fly-by-wire flight control system. (Alan warnes via AFM)
-The nose was also enlarged to accommodate an active electronically-scanned array (AESA) radar, which will be a core subsystem of the forthcoming JF-17 Block-III. (Alan warnes via AFM)
-The PAF leadership had hinted that the JF-17B could see use as a lead-in-fighter-trainer (LIFT) platform within its own fleet.
