Second JF-17B Prototype with more composite material undergoing flight tests

Sucks that they still didn't take care of those hideous door hinges for that canopy.

a minor correction green part depicts fuel not composite

No fuel is ever carried in the vertical stabilizer i.e. tail of the aircraft or below the canopy.

The tail fin is also green and I don't think any would place fuel cell in tail fin? correct me if I am wrong but I don't think so.

You are absolutely correct. Neither is any carried below the canopy.

Same here. Just shows the sheer sillyness of the aircraft designers that they think such hinges are appropriate for a modern aircraft!

maybe they just ignore it, later batch will fix it.

these are just prototypes.

As far as I know the green panels are composites. And they are not for fuel storage areas.

 

[BATMAN]

It can be customized on demands of PAF.

How are you related to the program?

It can be fixed like L-15.

lithium aluminun alloy, high intensitive but low density.

The cameras on the plane are found.
The JF-17B is ready for the tests of store separation.

Seems like they're careful with the photographs this time after the first prototype was criticised for its looks.

Definitely meant for third parties.

Its continuously being improved, its getting sleeker
