yes conformal fuel tanks can adopted for the nest block
but there can't be any increase in the hard points
this is not about hardpoint but carrying heavy weapons, suppose instead of 3600kg of weapons can it carry more than 4500 kg or somthing around that figure ?

bro what makes you say so???
do you take addition of conformal fuel tanks an easier task when compared to addition of hardpoins, i dont think so.
well i can not bet that next blocks will see addition in hardpoints or not as i am not from PAF but one thing is for sure, if PAF want JF17 reach a next level and to actually deleiver what the promise of it then additional harddpoints are a must!
regards!
or if jf-17 is fitted with CFT.
it can help to relese two more hard points.
new Engine ?

Hi,
The only thing that is needed urgently is an operational sqdrn of the JF 17----2 more hard points loaded, will add extra weight for a plane that is smaller than the F 16 in size---air refuelling probe will be the biggest asset at this stage.
Other than that, nothing much is needed for now---smarter weapons and weapons systems are more accurate and so are rthe missiles---

Hi MK,
If we look at what IAF is going to get I think AESA is more important than any other thing.
Its fuselage will have to be redesigned to incorporate CFT and CFTs were not in original design goals of Thunder when project was first initiated.
Right now what needed is a more powerful engine, reduced weight by incorporating composites, 2 more hard points, AESA.

then the designer of f15 would have made a place for CFT on it while he was designing the structure about forty years ago.same story is with f16 too.there isnt any change in f16s original structure and and it takes CFTs on it.
CFT isnt have to do any thing with aircraft structure,but its the CFT which should be in aero-dynamical shape according to the structure of air craft.
here r some pix of some well known planes,carring CFT without any change in stucture.
