JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 4]

[Dazzler]

JFT HUD is designed on the pattern of F-18 Hornet HUD system which is a Dual Refractive Combiner system. In general performance, it is better than the F-16 HUD system. More precise and less jittery, both also look similar in dimensions.

I see.. i hope they are compareable in performance as well

According to this..

China will induct Jf-17 to replace its J-7 and Q-5.

i hope future fc-1 will be like f-35

differential stabilizers can be seen here...
sorry for the bad quality.

Hi, i have question for everyone.
I see JF-17 has like an F-16 air brake kind of thing near the stabilizer. If it is designed in such a way then how come we don't see it as brake use?

JF-17s air brakes system is different when compared to F-16. Here below pic will clear the question. JF-17 has 4 of these air brakes.

just to let u kno, these brakes are used in air mostly. F-16 and F-15 both use their bodies as a large air brake when they touch down on runway. watch all f-16 landings, the pilot will ALWAYS make it sit on the main for a good amount of time!

That is pretty small...
btw, what are the things in red and blue circles? Air brakes too?

Another clear view

To me, it looks like JFT has a total of 5 air brakes!

 

[TaimiKhan]

Red circled ones are the air brakes, rest of the stuff is all guess, but some are for the counter measure systems.

From SDF. Thanks to tphuang. KLJ-7 = 130km for a fighter sized target!

btw, this is from an interview by kanwa with PAF:
- JF-17 has fired off C-802A and hit a target more than 90 kms away (it has range of 180+ km)
- It launches two types of LS-6 SGBs. The 500 kg one has a range of 60 km with cep of 15 m. The 250 kg one has a range of 65 km with cep of 5.3 to 7.5 m
- The main medium range aam is SD-10A
- KLJ-7 has a range of 130 km vs fighter size target, can track 16 targets and engage 2 concurrently. These seem to be higher than the ones we see in air shows. Will have to see which modes these range and tracking numbers come from.
- block 1 of JF-17 did not have data link, which is really surprising for me
- all of the JF-17s are using Martin Baker seats

Initially the blk 1 aircraft came without datalink but it has since been been added indigenously that is why you see a different set of communication antennas along with an undisclosed origin communication gear.
