The most expensive and least expansive fighter aircrafts

[MastanKhan]

How can you come to the result that JF-17 is a stable design, it too has a FBW, 2 axis in block 2 and has been upgraded to a 3 axis FBW in JF-17 B. The design is heavily based on the F-7 and the F-16, both of which are highly maneuverable fighters in their own right. The JF-17 has exhibited decent maneuverability in all airshows.

Hi,

When you don't know what yu want to say---ask---.

JF17 does not have a stable design---.

It is influenced by the F16---F18---on the outside and Grippen on the inside---

If you look at the topside image of the JF17---it looks more like the F16 and the F/A18A and no where even close to the F7---.

Again look at the topside picture of the Super 7 and Sabre 11---which were obviously influenced by the F7---.

From topside---the JF17 isalmost identical to the F/A18A.

So---when the JF17 design was re-started in the 2000's---the super 7 and sabre 2 designs were wiped off the slate.

There is a good possibility that there was a Romanian design that also influenced the JF17 along with a russian design.

There is a picture with a number 33---is that of a romanian design I don't know---.

Sir my bad, it was Rafael.

France is overcharging India. India has no choice but pay for it.

Hi,

Now look at the similarity between the JF17 and the F18---.

If the F18 had a single tail---and single engine---it would look no different than the JF17---but a bit larger---. The spine would have been similar as well.

Thanks to @Manticore ---I used the pictures that he posted awhile ago---.

Where is the similarity between the F7 and JF17

If you look at the fuselage, it is closer to the F-7 than the F-16 or 18:

Hi,

The profile view creates an illusion to what the aircraft looks like in real---.

The top view or view from the bottom looking up---is what the aircraft design is---.

And that clearly shows when viewed as with the picture of FA18 and the JF17---.

Profile view has no real value---the top and bottom view of the aircraft define the structure as well as the frontal view---which is for aerodynamics sake.

The profile view in this case is creating an illusion to what it is not---because the similarities end right there---.
