Whats this political fatass doing here???

He is after all the information minister, possibly being informed on the current scenario.

 

[Ahmet Pasha]

I generally despise and loathe politicians but ur point makes sense.

Same ones who are initially pro state turn very sub nationalist very quickly.

Me no likey politicians.

The Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) has outlined ambitious plans to support its development of a fifth-generation fighter aircraft (FGFA) - otherwise known in Pakistan as Project AZM.

The PAC enterprise, which is owned and run by the Pakistan Air Force (PAF), has established a new office - the Aviation Research, Indigenization & Development (AvRID) unit - to lead the FGFA programme, it confirmed.

The development programme is supported through Pakistan's development of a new aerospace complex - named 'Aviation City' - that was launched in 2017 to support Project AZM and other national military aerospace requirements.

"The office of DG [Director General] AvRID has been established to transform into reality the [PAF's] air staff vision… with the long-term goal of developing our own fifth generation fighter aircraft (FGFA)," PAC said on its website.

"[The] development of [the] FGFA would be a major national programme that would entail a massive amount of work, not all of which may possibly be carried out within PAC or even within Pakistan.

"Such large-scale development requires synergetic efforts from a number of industrial (public and private) and academic organisations to fulfill the enormous task," it added.

In order to "manage an engineering development programme of this magnitude", effective technical, engineering, and project management processes need to be established, PAC said.

PAC also outlined several specialist project teams that it will establish in collaboration with other national agencies as part of the Aviation City initiative.

These include an engineering management and support office, an Aviation Design Institute, a Mission Electronics Design Institute, an Aero Structures Design Institute, an Advanced Technologies Centre, and a Flight Test Centre.

PAC states that AvRID will collaborate with and leverage the capabilities of these various Aviation City agencies in undertaking Project AZM. "This [will] put together components of industry and academia to build a high-end research centre to enhance indigenisation capability.

I have only one reservation. The scope is too broad and no short term goals have been defined. I would prefer to set the SMART goal " In five years PAC will produce an indigenous LIFT platform that will be designed and tested using computational and wind tunnel facilities inside Pakistan". Similarly for later years. In its present form, the initiative is a recipe for disaster.

The Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) outlined plans for a fifth-generation fighter aircraft (FGFA), Jane’s reports. The FGFA is part of the so called Project AZM. The PAC established a new office to lead the Project AZM. Additionally, a new aerospace complex – named Aviation City, that was launched in 2017 to support Project AZM and other national military aerospace requirements – aids the development program. PAC also outlined several specialist project teams, including an engineering management and support office, an Aviation Design Institute, a Mission Electronics Design Institute, an Aero Structures Design Institute, an Advanced Technologies Center, and a Flight Test Center. that it will establish in collaboration with other national agencies as part of the Aviation City initiative.

Possible country contribution to this project
China, airframe, avionics, weapons
Turkey, avionics, weapons
Russia, engine
Ukraine, engine
Italy, avionics

Start by making car engines

Bike engines would be much easier for a start.

Bike engines would be much easier for a start.

I dont mind but atleast start

@Bilal Khan (Quwa) @Bilal Khan 777 @Oscar @messiach

It has already been stated in a interview that wind tunnel testing and airframe design will be outsourced to China since they have good facilities there. Pakistan is likely starting out with sub systems design, manufacture and integration for Azm.

 

[messiach]

Short term platform goals would be implemented through FC-1B an Xprototype sitting at chengdu.
The question is who will we beg for the fan!!!
