I think i noticed in the LS-6 test launch video (the jf-17 one) that the aircraft does become unstable (rolls slightly to the other side) for a brief period, but then corrects instantly. FBW helps in that case, the computer knows the expected mass of the missile, and knows when the missile is away this will create instability and thus as such compensates for it by stabilizer movement.
Can the fuel from one tank be pumped on to the other side or middle tank to balance out? (like in civilian airliners)
New Recruit
China spent nearly one hundred million yuan production domestically produced in the third generation engineSource?
In war time AShM maybe carried under bellyStrange........in the first pic there is one C802 and one fuel tank on inner hardpoint.......doesn't it make the fighter unstable the moment missile is launched or if tank is usedup/jetissoned?

China similar to the third generation of RD - 93 medium thrust engine has completed research and development, start a production line for mass production. Once the engine to achieve production, JF - 17, sword drones and fighters 31 aircraft will change homemade turbofan 13 in the engine
What I keep wondering about is why the PAF is persisting with the PL-5E-II. While it is comparable to the AIM-9M-8(in manoeuvrability and off boresight ability with a slightly better seeker) it would seem prudent for the PAF to simply focus on a new dogfight missile for its flagship jet. especially when it has done so already for certain older platforms within its inventory.
Lack of HMDS might be delaying a new dogfighting missile.
The HMDS exists with certain squadrons operating a dedicated dogfighting type(although it is kept well guarded secret). I believe the issue may have to do with A missile that the PAF wants to have full access to which it can mate and employ with a HMDS(which are readily available).
