By the way, who are you?
Please say that you belong to aviation industry, aviation engineer and designer.
Even if you are, you.have no right to speak about PAF Technicians, NCOs, JCOs and Officers working in PAC. As far as I know, PAC manpower consist of highly qualified, experienced people and definitely know about "aerodynamics" and its "significance".
Among them few are Ph Ds.
If these technicians or officers are saying something then please consider as a fact unless you, yourself work on or affiliate with JF-17 and then please do correct my inference.
If someone is talking about LO nose on the Thunder, you can infer with 100% confidence this guy has nothing to do with PAF, or PAC. Because, if that had been the case, I would be facing a court martial or worse. Everything I say is based on logical deduction, and is always open to correction by actual professionals.
But, it is logical that technicians on the assembly line would be kept ignorant of aerodynamic characteristics such as max angle of attack, turn rate, radar capabilities etc. I mean, none of these engineers would be able to compute the stress tensor that acts on the inlet when you hang a fuel tank from the wing, which is also vibrating. None of them would have heard the word tensor even. It is the same with assembly lines the world over. Technicians on the flight line go through courses such as 'Electronic Circuits', 'RF Circuits', 'Joining and Welding'. They cannot write the differential equation for an RLC circuit, or understand the crystalline structure of metals. This is common knowledge.
