Pakistan starts production of avionics for JF-17 Thunder jet

[TaimiKhan]

Well i believe this is the Chinese FADEC system, i was pointing to the Russian RD-93 one, WS-13 is said to be having a FADEC.

Thanks for the pics.

From the looks of it, it appears similar to European/American type FADEC instead of Russian one as fitted on advanced AL series of turbofan engines. A promising development never the less! Great pics brother

From the discussion of all of you guys it seems that so far their is no TVC engine planned of JF17.!!!!!!! Is their any chances to use TVC engine in JF17 in future?

Hi, would the tail end of the JF-17 not have to be redesigned to accomodate TVC? The parachute housing hangs over the engine cowling, and the amount of space that the engine can move sideways in the horizontal axis is limited. I guess the engine cowling could be pushed further out of the aircraft though. Thanks!

My pleasure Dear..... Iam happy to see that Western markets would be going down slowly as South Asia is developing gradually..

and best part will be that both nations wont be needing western weapons against each other and gradually ease up their relations to spend the same money on peaceful technology and progress

would the west allow that? it means a loss of billions of dollers per year

Pakistan Begins Domestic Fighter Avionics Production

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan said it has commenced domestic production of avionics for the Sino-Pak JF-17 Thunder combat aircraft.

The announcement came May 28 at a ceremony attended by Air Chief Marshal Rao Qamar Suleman at the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) in Kamra, just outside Islamabad.

To date, the majority of avionics produced in Pakistan have been manufactured under license from foreign companies, most notably Selex Galileo radars for the Air Force's Mirage III and F-7P Fishbed fighters. However, this looks set to change.

During the May 28 ceremony, the PAC's chairman, Air Marshal Farhat Hussain Khan, outlined the JF-17 avionics, in which he stated, "four indigenously designed and developed avionics systems were also being produced," and that the "production scope would be progressively broadened to include the production of a complete JF-17 avionics suite at the complex."

Officials at PAC could not provide any details on the announcement, and Air Force officials declined to answer any queries.

It is believed, however, that at least two of the domestically designed and produced systems include a head-up display and a weapons and mission management computer.

Past indigenous avionics projects have included a radar homing system in the 1960s for the F-104 fighter jet; an IRST pod and modifications to the GEC 956 HUD (Head Up Display); and the HUDWAC (HUD Weapon Aiming Computer) for the F-7P in the 1990s.

Efforts to sustain avionics design in Pakistan have not succeeded.

Retired Air Commodore Kaiser Tufail said he believes the reason is because it has "not been a viable proposition so far."

However, large-scale indigenous production of the JF-17 and potential export sales mean such a move is now more economically viable, he said.

Tufai said the Air Force has the potential to succeed because it has "a very large pool of highly qualified avionics engineers at the bachelor's, master's and even doctorate level, both serving and retired."

If that potential does result in a focused effort, "the next decade may well see Pakistan establish itself as one of the leading Asia-Pacific producers of avionics hardware and software," he said.

I have never missed a chance of hating an Indian in my life.

But if there is one thing that I have always subscribed to, then it has to be this.

If India and Pakistan can reach a mutual ground, and conclude a theory of peaceful co-existence then we can actually get the WEST by the ear,
and make them draw lines on the desert sand with their nose.

However it will never happen, this is the west's worst nightmare
and i'm pretty darn sure, they will make sure it remains a nightmare.
