is that block 1 or 2? any news on ws-13?

 

[Emilly David]

Is there an issue with its engine ? Why is it leaving hell lot of smoke ?

 

[nwmalik]

hate the black smoke

 

[Viny]

Damn it fumes like the auto ricksaws on street which have been running on adulterated petrol with kerosene

RD93 is known for being smoky. Chinese are working on a new engine ws-13 which will be used on later blocks of thunder.

RD93 emits more smoke but you would see some smoke in F-16s etc when they switch between AB.

Thanks for the share windy much appreciated! It seems like practice though?

Sorry to say but It is a late 3rd generation early 4th generation plane with the latest upgrades. The avionics are midrange if secured from the west but poor if secured in China. The BVR capability is marginal at best. The F-16, a heavier plane, is more nimble. The F-16 Viper will clean up the skies against this plane. There is a reason that the Pakistanis will keep the F-16 in use while they also fly these cheap planes, First and foremost is capability, Second is reliability. You will see after a few years that the population of these planes available to fly , decreases rapidly.

Two donkeys and one pushcart says you're Indian. South Indian at that. And a pansy who likes to play pretend Swedish female on a Pakistani defence forum.

You Indians are such cupcakes. You know what will substantiate the content of this post? All the denial which you are going to put forth in your reply. Disproportionate - shameless - denial. All of it.

On topic: Loving the takeoff!

Please introduce yourself in the intro section so that we know what your qualifications are to make such sweeping statements. Most pilots have migrated from flying the 16s and speak very favourably of the JFT and dont want to go back to the 16s.

Waoow some take off.

Show off.
They are getting better and better.A lovely display of what thunder has to offer.



Ye dhuwan dil pe na lein ap.

Guys, remember this was just a practice run, the real deal starts tomorrow.
No doubt the take-off was spectacular but expect more in the air.

Gents,

Correct me please, but the take off angle is close to 90 .. What happened to our T/W rate ?

During the flypast, the pilot again uses the T/W ratio, and seems to try a Cobra ( or as close to it as possible on a single engine craft ) ?

Nevertheless, I am most impressed, we have come a long way from doing simple barrel roles.
but we need to do a lot more...

A fantastic take off and a high alfa. And they say JFT is underpowered. NOT!!!! Lets see at the real display.

Exactly my thoughts !

that is expected behavior.
All planes smoke.

Didn't you observe JF-17 apprehension in completing a loop and several times it broke the loop? I @HRK While similar loops are done with ease with F-16

It was a regular pilot, lets see what CCS qualified pilot has to offer in terms of aggressive maneuvers

Nice take-off followed by pretty ordinary flying.
