There is no single piece MFD in Blk3 AFAIK. Plans were there, but were dropped citing financial limitations.

Who knows. It has j20s wvr and you'll soon see it with it's bvr as well. Oddly, production and testing of blk 3 is going on concurrently. 3001 is now at Kamra.

Some say it's there.

You are right. Re-read what I wrote:

“MTOW is also a function of engine power along with other things.”

What I meant was. All things being equal (same aerodynamics) when you will up-thrust the same airframe, it will help increase the MTOW.

What you are saying is correct for different airframes. It’s touched upon in below video (@8:50m):

20% larger to what, JF17 or mk1/1A?

Mark1a

We know nothing about your JF17 dimensions between block 2 & 3

All
I know per paf books the three mfd in Jf17 were joint pac and Singapore technologies product for Jf17 to replace original Chinese version built at pac from aircraft number xx onwards

Let see based on first prototype cockpit limited view it gave the impression of single large display but time will tell. May be it’s another pac / st joint designed product and not Chinese ??

Yes, but you're forgetting one tiny detail....unlike the Block 3, the Mark 2 DOESN'T EXIST.

I think we should start block 4 thread by now which may comes after 2to 3 years?
And it can have twin engines and longer range?

After this big blue, it will not be called light weight but medium weight fighter and its mean a complete new plane and also mean LCA is failed and replaced with MCA

It’s still similar dimensions as JF17. Same class.
