JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 7]

[The Eagle]

have they added more composite materials to the frame?

We expect in Block-III.

More composites or am I seeing it wrong?

The way it appears, one can expect as such.

i meant to ask if they can change composite material percentage in overhauling?

Probably not. Its only overhauling not an MLU.

We are refreshing the bird in its existing form and extending life. Upgrade will require new additions in regard to anything including more composites.

Front grey section seems to be covering the pilot so i'm assuming its some sort of armoured panel but the grey sections are definitely new because of the different primer colour?

Looks even better than the new ones.

Blk 1 had 5% composites. Blk 2s had around 20% and B version close to 30%. The green panel are composites.

If I am not wrong, appears to be photoshopped for colour/contrast & sharpness with background because couple of long antennas like one under the cockpit & another on spine, seems to be missing. Or, one on the spine isn't that big. Even the first picture is not that close-up as compare to second.

Yup. You can sort of make out the two missing antennas by the discoloration.

OK it's now August and the last quarter of 2019. Waiting for low res leaked pictures of Block-3 from China, they usually start cropping up 1-2 months before official reveal. Time to start following Chinese forums.
