First made in Pakistan fighter to roll out tomorrow
ISLAMABAD: The first state of the art JF-17 Thunder multi-role fighter plane produced in Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) Kamra will roll out tomorrow.

This will kick start a new era in Pak-China relationship, and aviation industry, an official source told Geo News.

Both China and PAF attach a lot of importance to this project, which is materializing after hectic and laborious ef.....more
 
Its body is similar to F16 , Chinies design and quality standards are improving fast.

I think latest F16 Block 52 or 60 parts can be used in JF also for upgradation in future .If it is possible it will be great achievement .

Any PAF pilot or engineer can enlighten use on this issue?
 
PM to be chief guest at roll out of JF-17 Thunder
November 22, 2009

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan will formally rejoice its joining the fighter aircraft manufacturers club on Monday on roll out of first multi-role state-of-the art aircraft being crafted with the help of evergreen friend China. Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani will be the chief guest at the rolling out of the bomber-cum-fighter plane which is to be held at the mother industry - Pakistan Aeronautical Complex - of JF-17 Thunder at Kamra.

This will kick start a new era in Pak-China relationship, and aviation industry, an official told APP here Sunday. Both China as well as PAF attach a lot of importance to this project which is materializing after hectic and laborious efforts, spanning over almost a decade, he said.

The PAC has generated all the capability to produce the aircraft locally for its onward delivery to PAF besides materializing purchase orders from abroad as export.

The JF-17 Thunder a new generation, light-weight, all weather, day/night multi-role fighter aircraft with glass cockpit, hands-on-throttle-and-stick (HOTAS) controls and efficient man-machine interface will ensure a minimal pilot workload.

The maximum speed of Mach 1.6 and a high thrust-to-weight ratio will enable it to perform well in an air defence role. An ability to carry short - as well as long-range air-to-air missiles, lends the aircraft a first shot capability of conventional as well as non-conventional arsenal.

In the surface attack role, a variety of weapons - conventional as well as precision-guided, a sophisticated avionics suite along with accurate weapon delivery system, ensure higher mission success rate.

An effective ECM suite will greatly enhance survivability of the platform. Its anticipated air-to-air refuelling capability will provide the JF-17 with more loiter time to safeguard the frontiers and the ability to deliver the required punch at distance. It will replace the ageing fleets of A-5s, F-7Ps and the Mirages in the PAF inventory thus fulfiling a multi-role task.

In addition to that the PAC would also be able to export its surplus production in the days to come as the aircraft has received acclaims from the user like PAF.

10 JF-17s are in Pakistan, 01 would be rolling out tomorrow, my guess is 2-3 would be under manufacturing at different stages at PAC, and same number or more would be at final, near final stages at Chengdu. If they keep the pace or increase it which they might, we would be seeing 2 sqds by end of next year or atleast 1 & a half sqd minimum.

Good progress, hope they increase the pace, and hopefully something related to 2nd block would also be in progress.

Lately news updates & pictures from China have also stopped.
 
Some tv channels will for sure telecast the ceremony live. Any one with a clue about the timing it will be greatly appreciated.
