JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 7]

[Gallium Nitride]

A Mirage 2000 has 1/3rd the RCS of an F-16. With present technology, it is possible not to need a canard by having a V tail and thrust vectoring. This would reduce drag, further increasing range and sustained turn rates. Sometimes the best solutions are the simplest ones. This would be a bit like a smaller YF-23 with smaller V tail and with thrust vectoring, at least if Syed Yusuf has his way.

I do think Syed Yusuf has a good idea here.

Delta wing configuration also brings a lot of drag due to lesser wing aspect ratio which affects the aircraft's ability to sustain max turn rates. Trapezoidal wing configuration is found in all 5th generation aircraft and is also the most suitable

Hi, if you look at the J-20, it is basically a delta with canards...

Correct. Provide an elliptical lift.

Seems to have a large lerx for incraining lift.

JF-17 supporting a new darker two tone grey scheme somewhat similar to the F-16s'

What about F-16XL wing design its not true delta.

Double the range with triple the load

Double the range with triple the load

Yes with out compromising agility.

There we are, that's project Azm right there

What does the "R" on the lower left signify?
