JF-17 - Updates, News & Discussion

The center of gravity of the turbofan engine is at the front rather than the afterburner at the rear, and although the ws-15 is 400kg heavier than the ws-13, the thrust is twice as high, that is, 18.2kn. The military thrust is 11kn. As I mentioned before, the KLJ-7B is a digital array radar, using oxidized materials, liquid cooling heat dissipation, the weight will be heavier than the KLJ-7A. So the problems you're talking about, they're not problems.
You don't understand the length is bigger than RD-93/WS-13 so we need to build bigger JF-17 and thrust is huge so we need to make intakes larger, at least a size of J-20, it's takes time and money to build whole new jet not based on JF-17 design, WS19 is enough for JF17 BLK 4 if have a plan to build, you have ridiculous idea to put WS15 on JF17, you're really keyboard warrior here 😉

The Times are moving forward, the design concept of J-20 is fundamentally different from the design concept of F-22, J-20 considers more supersonic cruise and long range, which is also the development direction of the next six generations of aircraft. In the future air combat, high-energy weapons will be an important direction. If the JF-17 needs to keep up with the pace of future air combat, it will have to introduce high-energy weapons, and high-energy weapons need powerful engines, if it is a twin-engine WS-19, then the energy is enough. But the JF-17 can only be fitted with one engine, and its best choice is the WS-15.
 
Yes I know that sir but @zen is talking about WS-15 which is bigger, has bigger diameter and have huge weight compared to RD-93 WS-13, it's similar like we put f119 engines into f5 sir
I understand - Im just pointing out the complexity of engine changes regardless. The WS-13 too isn’t swap in swap out either.

High energy weapons will come on 6th generation and afterwords tell me how many High energy weapons are on the 5th gen generation jets like J-20, Su-75 and F-22/F35? and no need to put High energy weapons on JF-17 you're know nothing about military aviation

The F-16 was once replaced with the F404 engine, and the Hornet improved the intake, engine, and so on to upgrade to the Super Hornet. The JF-17 block4 will be a super thunderbolt and will also completely open up third world sales.

How many block 3 we sell right now, the answer is big NO first you live in present and than look into future and WS15 equipped JF-17 will be extremely expensive to most of third world countries

The price is controllable, and the most important thing is to meet the needs of future air combat. A cost-effective weapon that can break hegemonism can bring real world peace.
If the JF-17 uses the WS-15, it will have an absolute advantage against the Rafale. The JF-17 block4 with WS-15 will have a significant cost performance advantage over the J-10CE. What's more, J-10CE is technically frozen and will not be improved. Hence the news that the J-35 will be introduced. The future PAF must be a small number of J-35s with a large number of JF-17 BLK4s. The J-10CE is only a transitional product.

ws15☞jf17?CAC need to redesign the aircraft.I don't think people are really aware of just how much it costs

难度不会比研发jf-17 blk3难太多

What you’re calling would require a new design, to make the change to a WS-15 engine feasible.

A design similar to the McDonnell Douglas JAST design, but then you’re basically looking at a competition for the F-35, which the J-31 is suppose to be.

Investing into such a design could work if the PLAAF persued, at least in the form of the basis for an unmanned loyal wingman. Then a manned version would have its costs brought down and it could make sense for procurement by the PAF, to replace the JF-17 and J-10 in due time.

It seems to work in theory。But this requires a lot of money,Is Pakistan willing to completely transform JF17??
PAF really wants to develop
