Any one knows the accurate wing area of JF-17????
As I know its been popularly stated as 24.4m2,
If you go to wiki source for the wing area, the link is dead.
-There is no mention of wing area in the PAC website (current version/ PT-04)
This image from PAC website shows the area to be 24.4m2 (for PT-01 as shown in the image) however the production version (PT-04) has LERX too.
The chart from Izmir does not mention the wing area
I also took a look on that video of CAC head designer at Dubai and nothing mentioned there too...
According to some rumors the LERX provided 9% more area that is 2.19 m2 more area
which basically translates into 26.6m2 wing area...
However the main idea of all this is to calculate the wing loadings which come out to be
372 Kg/m2 and 342 kg/m2 a difference of nearly 30Kg/m2 !!!
So what do u guys think??
I know i did ask something like this a long time ago however seeing as senior members and mods are more online these days i just had to ask again
