Pakistan, China building JF-17B prototype

[Pak.one]

It produce no smoke I notice it


WS13 or RD93?

I hope for WS-13E for the JFT-B and for block 3 because previous one RD 93 has a large smoke trail so it mean aircraft is short of power.

On landing gear i think there are more LED lights for better vision in night time but what are those near the glass cockpit? Some kind of instrument sensors?

From the older halogen light to the best LED landing light that only used on our J-20, not any others

As the other changes may be some kind of sensors like you've mentioned as well, btw, where is the refueling pod? they've cancelled it or just not installed yet?

In block 2 JFT they said refueling probe is portable it can be fix in a very short notice.so more might be same thing for JFT-B is applicable.

JF17b looks more compact and beefy

It spine and canopy looks like JH-7A.

Very muck alike. But it seems more like a Dolphin.

I see the maiden flight video. JF17b didn't produce smokes, means it's WS13 engine

I guess jf17b has different engine then JF17. Do you notice too ?

No smoke, very obvious

While the accompanying JF17 discountinuously ejecting black smoke in low flying speed, JF17b doesn't.

The more powerful non-smoke engine and FBW, and enhanced payload, and maybe AESA.

Seems I underestimate JF17b's achievement at the first beginning.

Never judge from appearance.

Being steady and pragmatic and exqueez the most of existing design is all PAF persue all these years.

..., and maybe AESA.

....

IMO not yet, this is clearly not the typical grey true radome, but a metal one.

here it is...smoke emitted briefly
