    JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 4]

    Actually FBW is not used only for augmenting stability in military planes. Boeing (777) and Airbus (320) use FBW.

    JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 4]

    This sounds strange as hydraulic system cannot be a backup for FBW as only a computer can make an unstable plane fly. That is why FBW systems use redundancy.

    JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 4]

    Analouge is for yaw and roll control, and Digital is for pitch control. If Digital fails, JF17 cannot be controlled in pitch. MKI failure was due to inadvertent shut down of FBW by the Pilot. Russian provide a switch in the cockpit to shut down FBW, crazy.

    IAF to deploy Apache strike helicopters at Indo-China border

    5) As expected, chinese jets sent megaton warnings to Indian jets. Indian jets didn't bother and continued on their sortie. 6) Realising their megaton warnings did not scare Indians, chinese fighters ran back to their bases.

    At this point only thrust is available that too with 5% growth potential. That puts this between your choice and F100-PW229

    GTRE new engine tender

    That is true. DMRL has successfully developed SC blades, but its is facing challenges in large scale production. Tender talks about TOT. The question here is can that TOT be used for independently designing future engines by GTRE. I ask this question because we got TOT for SU30 MKI engines...
