JF-17 - Updates, News & Discussion

@Amaa’n @Hyde can someone clarify what a "*.pk" malware is doing here. Not a dot com site as we hoped?

Is there a privacy policy here?

Maybe the link ffrom falcons.pk is the problem?

are you masterchief mirza from ye ol' phorum ?

Just because the site went down and this new much more nacent one popped up doesn’t mean that those that want it down permanently haven’t stopped.

Hope this is true.

Hope this is true.

What about the reports that WS-19 has been tested on some FC-1 birds at AVIC? If the reports are accurate and the test was successful, then nothing is better than WS-19.

Furthermore, RD93MA provides more thrust than WS-13, making it a better alternative.

Given that the JF17C is being flown with the RD-93MA, it is odd to hear of the Block I/II's being retrofitted with the WS-13 .. logically, given the level of maintenance infrastructure setup for the RD-93 series, they would re-engine earlier blocks with RD-93MA's ...

If they wanted to re-engine during hte mid-life upgrades, then the RD-93MA or WS-19 makes more sense for value for money. The WS-13 makes no sense at any level.

I am taking this report with a large bag of Himalayan salt !!!

That's the way to go...

Exactly, indeed....

I doubt that this change of engine is true however if it is I strongly recommend PAF to go for local engine production. I also come to know that rd93b used by jf27 all blocks so far could be upgraded to rf93ma. If that is the case I would still recommend local upgrade facility

The final assembly and flight testing of the aircraft was the first JF-17 co-production activity to start at PAC. The first PAC produced aircraft was handed over to Pakistan Air Force in November 2009. Since then, aircraft are being produced regularly to meet the required schedule. The co-production of sub-assemblies and structural parts subsequently commenced and has sequentially attained the sustained production status. Besides upgrading the production system, PAC has also upgraded its quality, technology and archive management systems to meet the production and management standards of a 4th generation fighter aircraft.​

Can anybody tell me that above specs are for which block??
And how T/W is 1.07 when empty weight itself is 8000kg, and engine thrust is ~ 84kN

The 1.07 is almost certainly incorrect. Last I checked it was 0.98.

The single most intimidating thing for me on JF-17 Block-lll is its HMDS. Just see how badass this thing is looking!

Good to see you that-guy! It's been a long while since we caught up on things. Hope you are well.

Does anyone know if mastankhan is showing up to this forum?

He popped in for just one post elsewhere too and hasnt been around since too. I think he is just busy and figures wait for things to settle forumscape wise.
