Here, spend some time and listen to the master speak.

Isn't it lovely how he explains how simple and yet brilliant the design axioms and inspiration is.

jf17 will be used in cas role by paf....i would like a discussion on what important features are looked for by paf for such an aircraft...?

do u guys agree with the first 5 points by the auther

1. Vertical/Short Takeoff and Landing (VTOL/STOL).
2. Be able to withstand a burst of up to 12.7 caliber weapons in vital areas. Be invulnerable to small arms fire. Kevlar panels used for armoring.
3. Be able to carry up to 6 TOW or Hellfire or similar weapons for a stand-off anti-armour role.
4. Have a 12.7 mm main gun with about 50 rounds of ammunition.
5. Capable of flying at exceedingly low speeds and maintaining high manoeuvrability at such speeds. Speed range of 10 mph to 200 mph.

Does jf17 meet some of these points?

Such a ground pounder should form the bulk of your AF. Honestly multi crore point defence/air superiority/multi role platforms designed for dogfights/destroying SAM emplacements/bombing strategic sites have a limited role in S Asia. The vast majority of your true enemy are Taliban types.
