Featured Russia would be developing upgraded engines for Pakistan's JF-17 fighters

[Safriz]

wasn't it 98 KN got gripen c/d?



it's WS-13 and as they say, it's not a mature engine and still need couple of years, might be some FC-1 use upgraded RD-93 as stop gap measure?

WS-13 testing on FC-1 started in march 2010. It's 2 years now and i think it still 2-3 years more.

I was on about j-10b...
Its already using ws-10b....
But they cant mass produce it yet.

up the deal any time in new put in the WS13 asap bro russian indians can mess the deal any time in future

JF-17 Block 3 - Further upgraded variant. It will be a dual-seat version for strike role, and it will also incorporate very advanced avionics and a better engine.[133] There are rumors, that it will be a cranked arrow delta wing aircraft inspired from the F-16XL.[134] Induction is expected to start around 2016.

on Wikipedia any one any new on this

There are 20'000 comments about all aspects of jf-17 on PDF's JF-17 section...
Can you find this or similar info from there?

@Mani. 91kn is lots of propulsion power , if we could reduce the weight of the aircraft , we might just be able to have it supercruise like the gripen.

But extensive use of composite which is one of the solution to decrease the weight, increases maintenance issues. Are there any plans to do so in BLK II or in BLK III.?

yes there are block 2 would be 4.5++ gen and the most extensive use of composite materials will be seen and the block3 will be
some thing much different cant say any PAF more focused on block 2 now

What about block 2's stealth features and radars?? Can you shed some light on them??

there would be the problem of max speed limit 1.8 for at his level is cant think of super cruse in block 2 either may be in block 3 butsuper cruse means allot of engine power mate may be Jf17 would be able to hit mach 2.2 and super cruse at 1.1 but it has to really low weight and hard to achieve such characteristically on single engine aircraft

What about block 2's stealth features and radars?? Can you shed some light on them??

new radar same as the J10B but cant say much on stealth haven't seen F16 of mig 29 be come super stealthy but RAM can be applied to reduce the radar signature

Stop blowing it out of propotion , JFT is a cheap alternative which can be made to supercruise at mach 1 with weight reduction and increasing thrust. New blocks will have increased CM used , having said that , i would personally like to have more hardpoints added , have extra internal fuel capacity , have IFR over having to have it supercruise which hardy has any advantages for a non stealthy jet like JFT.

When it comes to making Jet engines, Russians still are the KING.

and how you intend to do the with current version is far in future so see JF17 super cruse it agree with the other improvement
love to see them but the biggest problem is cost i think you know how much the super cruse version of Rafael of gripen cost
and regarding the cost the JF17 is not intent to do that and the if it would been so easy to achieve the super cruse capabilities
J10B would be getting it first

actually no its the americans

and the smokey ones

actually no its the americans

actually its the Britain ever heard of rolls Royce mate and the Russian and the american got the copy if the engines from them

 

[Safriz]

its rolls royce..
Not royal rice...
