If it's PS, then it's a good one as you can actually see the trees in the back ground through the canopy.

Hi, would the tail end of the JF-17 not have to be redesigned to accomodate TVC? The parachute housing hangs over the engine cowling, and the amount of space that the engine can move sideways in the horizontal axis is limited. I guess the engine cowling could be pushed further out of the aircraft though. Thanks!

FC-1 equipped with WS-13 completed first successful runway taxi test.
According to 2010/03/18 edition of the HKB Report.

China Defense Blog: FC-1 equipped with WS-13 completed first successful runway taxi test.

did Pakistan specify whether they want chinese or russian engine in JF-17?

 

[TaimiKhan]

Pakistan's preference is for the Chinese WS-13 engine.

Hi,

I believe that a lots of posters are being carried away by the idea that newer is better. RD 93 is a proven engine with a successful track history. you simply just don't dump an engine because there is something new out there.

If the F 14 tomcat could do the job for being labelled under powered so can the JF 17. I would rather have the upgraded version of the rd93 that the russians are developing---if need be.

A lesser powered engine will not stop the jf 17 for doing its job---it will be due to a lack of electronic warfare and weapons package.
