What's new

What would you like to have in the JF-17

I would like to have bigger wings, flaperons, a quadruplex FBW system, a more powerful engine, and most important of all a bubble canopy....hate the current canopy. A better ejection seat position and a better seat harness....

The rest will get better through further ground/flight testing....
 
within design limitations i think just adding a single hard point for pods and adding more fuel and looking for CFTs possibility with AESA/IRST built in and HMD for fifth gen WVR AAM.

this would mean weight increase and thus an updated rd93MA/or ws13
 
JF-17 B is slightly larger than Block –II. It is 0.25 meters longer with slightly enlarged nose cone to accommodate AESA radar and with 0.5 meters larger wingspan. I would like a more powerful engine to give it a T/W ratio of 1:1, seal level speed close to Mach 1 and genuine Mach 2 at altitude. This would make JF-17B a true 4.5 generation fighter.
 
Upgrades for block III:
  1. AESA, ( New Chinese KLJ-7A )
  2. IRST,
  3. HMD/S,
  4. Increased Payload/hardpoints,
  5. New more powerful variant RD-93MA with trust increased from 8,700kgf to 9,600kgf & less smoke or Chinese WS-13
  6. Use of composite to lower the weight and increase stealth
  7. Wide airframe to make a place for conformal fuel tanks, radar, targeting pod etc.
  8. New targeting pod (ASELPOD are already ordered from Turkey)
  9. Integrated & retractable probe for mid-air refueling.
 
More thrust ,Increased payload ,Higher thrust to weight ratio ,Retractable probe ,New air to air missile,Better Radar ,Better targeting System and Longer range.An engine with 25000 pounds of thrust will be idle for this light weight aircraft.This will increase its payload and TWR.
 
Please make it a duel engines fighter jet with stealth features :shout:
 
If so, it won't be JF-17 any more.
Hi bro, we can make it like that.

What it should have if it is to be at par with Grippen NG and be a true 4+ gen aircraft.

Helmet Mounted Display
New NG single wide MFD cockpit layout
PL-10 or A-Darter High off-boresight HOBS AA Missile capability
PL-15 LRAAM capability
Retracting in flight refuel probe
Additional chin hard point for Pods
More thrust - Better Engine
More range - Larger wing for more fuel area
Better EW suite
IRST
AESA Radar
Towed/Eject able decoys


Britecloud system now also available for F-16, can be fitted on the Chaff Dispenser area.

TVC can also be on the wish list but if you you have HOBS AA missile capability its useless other than aerial displays
