JF-17's airframe is constructed from aluminium alloys to keep both costs and weight down while providing high structural strength. High strength steel and titanium alloys are partially adopted in some critical areas. Plans are in place to reduce weight further by increasing the use of carbon composite materials in the airframe.n the fuselage area..and in Block 2 incorporate greater use of composite materials in the airframe to reduce weight
Will there be IRST or AESA on block 2 or not .. ?? And what about SD-10B and WS-13 in BLOCK-2 ...
Thanks in advance..
Current power plant can support AESA, problem is heating issues related to AESA and no cooling mechanism can be introduced due to small size of cone.
Vixen 500 was offered to JF-17.
