[The Eagle]

@The Eagle please ban hatado bhai !!!

No more derailing. Ok.

Just a quarter photo and we have observed 4 to 5 maj changes ...MashaAllah

 

[Shabi1]

Justed measured ground clearance in proportion to body size and it doesn't look different.

Canopy looks taller,can you check. Pilot could be short but if you look at the distance from seat top that looks different in both pictures. If canopy is indeed taller then the proportions comparsion will be off from old picture.

We should be able to see the full photo. The person who took photos in portrait mode would have taken photos in landscape mode. I don't know what PAF is looking to do... why is this slow revelation any more helpful than the full disclosure?

to me it seems pilot is taller if you see the top of his helmet and compare it to the back of the seat and then check the pilot in other cockpit.

yes and the person who took photo deliberately crop it although it is taken from far across the wall probably.

Nothing to do with landscape or portrait layout. The photo is intentionally cropped for reasons
unknown yet.

is this a question or you're trying to tell

Look at the picture. It clearly shows the harness locks and flying helmet. No sir, just telling. I'd leave a question mark if I would ask.

Cheers!!

If the intakes size are equal, then as per my paint skills, ground clearance is similar to previous blocks

 

[GriffinsRule]

The hud is similar but not the same as on J-20.

Looks more like this one, displayed at Zhuhai Air Show in 2016, or a further development of it.

Landing gear is the same as prior blocks, and only the landing lights are LED, similar to all dual-seat versions.

I hope there were full hd cameras installed inside for the first flight with audio. Showing our capable PAF test pilot.
