JF-17B Updates, News & Discussion

Hinges need to go in and seamless.

Not this discussion again, please leave them alone. They are tired of all the attention.

a good candidate.

The hinge is not in that circle. It's right outside it on the right hand side.

Well, given the fact that @The Eagle had nothing to do with Denel's infractions, I'd suggest you pick another day to attack him?

In terms of hinge types - there probably is greater footprint for the internal one that would require them to cut into the frame and perhaps have a small raise in frame height whereas here they just have bolted it on. Easier to do but the aesthetics are clearly not appealing.

Oldest saying keep it simple stupid.

Lesser moving parts mean less chances of malfunction even in a simple thing as a hinge

They have a beauty of there own, like the beauty mark on the Marilyn Monroe's face, however in this case triple the beauty.

Marilyn Mark can be seen from far away i hope these hinges wont cause an increase in visibility .. but then the designers knows the best

Current JF17 Bravo will be used for Lift purposes in future or we can see some downgraded version for domestic Lift role and for potential Lift export customer, to reduce cost (like Brave trainer version)

So, these JF-17Bs are on Block-II status?

Will the new JF-17Bs be on the Block-III levels?

Is PAC assembling those JF-17Bs or they are coming from CAC directly?

That is a limited vision syndrome. Like driving GT500R on go-cart race track to have your kids learn how to drive. If JF-17 is a mini F-16s then B gotta do what the F-16B/D do, full spectrum not just as trainer.
