Do the current Block 1 and 2, and if nothing, then does the Block 3 plan to have an APU?

The Lelong aircraft was equipped with a certain type of engine to complete the test flight, which greatly enhanced the market competitiveness of this type of aircraft and laid a solid foundation for opening up a new market situation.

Some of you guys can't handle testing of a new engine. How will you respond to production version with longer landing gear and LO nose?

Here is what that may entail at a stupidly high level.

a. A larger wing surface to compensate for the extra weight of the landing gear.
b. Fuselage reinforcements to where the landing gear attaches to and surroundings.
c. Rearrangements in internal systems to make room for the closed landing gear.
d. Rearrangements will then force a recalculation of the CG, and thus the calibration of the FCS.

Just fixing that above, will take months over months of testing and redesign.

Make sense why the Blk3 is taking that long.

Blk3 is already under production, We might see Blk4 version after that with longer landing gear and redesigning of fuselage around 2028 , 2030

Q3 2019 ka wait karo

Q2 2020 ka wait karo

Q2 2021 ka wait karo

Pagal banarahe hain bas
Have you even been following the development of the thing? It’s only been 7 months since serial production started…Has a batch even been delivered in 7 months before? PAF always takes delivery of the entire batch at the end of the year. I don’t know why people start complaining and assuming without even checking the basic info. First flight of prototypes was in 2019, production started in January 2021 (because before that PAC was completing the Nigerian and JF-17 B orders). Everything is literally on track, how are they supposed to complete the batch in 7 months that too with more than half the systems being new and requiring tons of testing and optimization.

Pagal bane huwe hain log, bana koi nahi raha.

I’m not entirely sure, but it looks like a new image of a Block 3 prototype.
