Featured Project Azm: Pakistan's Ambitious Quest to Develop 5th Generation Military Technologies.

Are you sure this AZM?? It looks remarkably similar - IMO too much like - a single engined contender from Northrop-Grumman for the MRF contest, which later evolved into the JSF and finally the F-35 today.

The pictures look to be like it's a twin engine design...looking closer to a YF23 IMO.

Looks similar to YF - 23 Black Widow?

Yup, look like it is inspired with Black Widow design.

@Bilal Khan (Quwa) YJ-12 integration/local version?

From conceptional designs to reality; the "Azm" excels.

This is how we are progressing (supposedly) from conceptional design phases to the final stage, in near future.

I'm sure this is just one of the reference designs that was investigated early on (very clearly the YF-23). There must be many many more such low-fi investigations. I doubt this Azm's FGFA or a finalized design. Just a little tease to keep us fanboys excited lol.

On the other hand the MALE seems to have a pretty detailed design in the video:

which is not surprising considering the things we know about it.

Dude is working on surfaces...

Also:

You can read "flight controls group" on the very deliberately placed slide on the left lol so this is right down my alley. I am pretty sure we are looking at DATCOM+ Pro here. For reference this is what DATCOM+ Pro looks like:

DATCOM:

United States Air Force Stability and Control Digital DATCOM - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Is a useful tool for quick and dirty stability derivative computations based on approximations and historical data. Very rough stuff only used in early stages.

These are all optics. Pakistan at the end will go for the J-31 and called it so called Proj Azm - Wait & Watch!

 

[jupiter2007]

Yup, look like it is inspired with Black Widow design.

It looks very similar but final design will look different. We are in the 2nd stage of design phase. Once the design is finalized then we will work toward building the infrastructure to prepare for prototype phase.

3D model displayed in today's PAF show " Mujahideen e aflaak ko salaam- 2020 " which seems as belonged to Project Azm and just displayed for a fraction of a second in the documentary, please have a look.

 

[Thorough Pro]

NOt every image shown on the computer screens is the final official design, what is shown is a couple of young trainee engineers working on their projects assignments. PAF will never show the real design on a televised program in this manner.

 

[Imran Khan]

these are just computer screens of workers PAF is not stupid to show design this much early

@Chak Bamu. Do you recognize any of above concepts?

@Chak Bamu. Do you recognize any of above concepts?

Some similarities. Yes. The air-flow model is vague though.
