JF-17 vs Tejas at Dubai Airshow

Tejas

JF-17

What are the aerodynamical differences you can notice between their demo flights?

 

[GriffinsRule]

Decent displays by both aircraft. Only thing I noticed is Tejas seems easier to spot visually due to its delta wings and perhaps the darker grey scheme

 

[Zephyrus]

Thunder needs a new color scheme and smoke winders.

PAF has invested heavily in rd 93 n is very satisfied with the end product..... plus the cost to benefit ratio for switching to ws 13 at the moment is not much...so for the moment PAF does not feel the urge to switch

Thats bs is spread by indian sources n nothing wrong with the fc1 that Myanmar recieved .

Plus the Myanmar variant is the Chinese fc 1 n not Pakistani jf 17....they deal directly with catic n not Pakistan.

The Nigerian variant is the jf 17 n
Have not heard of any problems since induction.

Pakistan should seek a better engine in my view. Russian engines have low MBTF rating and greater serviceability requirements due to this factor. When possible, of-course.

Myanmar disclosed the problem, Indians milked the news (not surprised). Pakistan dispatched its engineers to inspect Myanmar jets to sort out their problems. One can hope that valuable lessons were learned from this experience.

No complaint from Nigeria (true), but Nigeria has ordered European jets:

NAF orders 24 Italian aircraft to replace ageing fighter jets

The Nigerian Air Force has struck a deal with an Italian defence company for the supply of 24 M-346 master aircraft.

Nigeria rejected Tejas also.

Both Pakistan and India are into making tall claims for domestic consumption, buddy. There is absolute lack of transparency and culture for asking tough questions. Because if you (generally speaking) ask them, you risk being taken to an unknown place for software update . A number of Asian societies are less open to discussing sensitive issues. Russia and North Korea take the cake though.

Nobody gives complete TOT. No one gives complete know how of all whys and hows.

Indian approach was perfect in planning but bad in execution. That caused all the issues. Luckily there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Most members from Paksiatn don’t do a healthy discussion and get down to trolling.

But, we know that Tejas in current iteration is a worthy fighter.

lol

The French were willing to give but they asked too much money … should have paid probably cost less than what you spend on a plane that has zero export orders

Need a left to right video, or up to down which compares both side by side.

Getting spotted easily? May be good for an airshow but not for actual operations for which these are made.

 

[One_Nation]

Indian pilot appears reluctant for some reason.

 

[Mrc]

Tejas doesn't have an engine any more don't know what they are selling

 

[Conqueror]

One of the best JF-17 performances I can recall. Neat and well-controlled.

An amazing performance by Tejas with vertical flights, something JF-17 would only wish to do in its dreams.

It is actually a large loop ended with a somersault, if you can see it from a different angle.

This might be an indication of poor agilbility as the loop is too large and the somersault is too slow.

The following is JF-17 doing a swift vertical loop with somersault.

performance by Tejas with vertical flights

It has an American engine

 

[PradoTLC]

So what?

lol… are you for real ?

Why would you say that, JF-17 soon after wheels leave the ground goes almost ballistic where as Tejas has to fly the full stretch of the runway to gather speed and power before it pulls up.... Also JF-17 concludes its display with vertical rolls.
