Give it a rest mate, they are derailing the thread on purpose which is about JF-17, not the LCA or MKI. They are not interested in a serious debate hence they resort to name calling such as Junk Fighter...not realising that it is meant to fight their own junk called LCA.
Jf-17 is a JV and a successful one aswell and the only fighter co- designed and developed by an air force. It is on schedule and has earned a place in the international media including the reputable AFM, Janes and global defence. We have participated in Le Bourget, Farnborough, Zuhai, Dubai and Antalya and will make many more international appearances in near future. We already have an export order and more will follow. Unlike their LCA we're not wasting time but we're progressing by gradually introducing new features, weapons and electronics. We have met our target of producing 16 units in 2015 and will further increase it to 24 this year. Block 1 will soon be upgraded to block 2, PAC Kamra has been expanded to meet this requirement. Dual seater JF-17B will fly this year followed by block 3 in 2017. We are negotiating with the Russians for an improved version of the RD-93 with increased thrust for block 3. Gradually sections of the JFT are being replaced by composite materials to decrease weight and to increase fuel capacity. Dual rack launchers are expected to be introduced soon along with full fbw in block three. Unlike our neighbors we're not trying to reinvent the wheel but progressing fast, something the IAF/LCA team was forced to admit as tweeted by Alan Warnes. So let these fanboys troll as much as they like, the truth is that they're terribly buthurt to see us progress and they'll find a thousand excuses to bash and malign the Thunder. Ignore them, we have a fighter with reliable partners. Theirs depends on a lot of western suppliers including the Americans. Goodluck to them!
Back on topic please, the JF-17/FC-1.
Please do tell what is Pakistan's work share in this JV ???
If it is a JV then please provide to us ignoramuses about
1) CFD codes for design and analysis those used during the initial design phase include panel codes , boundary layer codes , transonic small perturbation codes, and full potential codes for JF-17.
2)Various Cartesian grids for estimation of aerodynamic loads especially for configuration stages and separation studies for JF-17.
3)Structured grid analysis for the aircraft's flow fields for JF-17
4)What kind of Navier Stokes solver Pakistan used for detailed studies of flow around complex aircraft configurations on JF-17.
5)Wind tunnel testing data for aero dynamic data generation for control law design , performance and assessment of air intake and flow visualization and what kind of scale models did you guys use for JF-17 ??
6)What kind of facilities does Pakistan have for RCS measurement like
a) Instrumentation radar
b) Target rotator
c)Control and data acquisition system
d)CW , SFCW , GCW , FMCW RCS measurement
7) What is the Monostatic RCS , Bistatic RCS and Gross RCS measurement data for JF-17
8) Does pakistan have a CATR and other such test facilities for jf-17 ?
In India we have
RCS measurement capability in an anechoic
chamber/ compact antenna test range with the following
specifications
Frequency range: 4.0 GHz to 110.0 GHz
Quite zone size: 1.2 m dia ´ 1.2 m long cylinder
Amplitude and phase ripple: 0.5 dB max, 10° max
Amplitude and phase taper: 0.5 dB max, 10° max
in all the bands
9)What is Pakistan's ITO coating facility for jf-17 ??
India's facility
10)What kind of strength tests for the airframe have been carried out at component and sub assembly level on JF-17??
11)Show us your data of half wing strength test atleast the facilities involved for jf-17
12)Does Pakistan have a main airframe static test facility or a MAST facility for JF-17 if yes do tell ??
13) Tell us about your GVT of your plane ?? What kind of facilities does Pakistan have for GVT measurement ??
14)What about SCT( structural coupling test) of your fighter aircraft to estimate structure control interaction levels and to provide design data for notch filters to be incorporated in the feedback loop of the FCS and what kind of facilities pakistan has for it ? ?
15)Tell us about you lightening test ?? did your JF-17 airframe went through HV test or not ??
16 ) Tell us about your the aero-elastic stability of JF-17 , its operating envelope to demonstrate the successful completion of flight flutter tests of various store configurations ??
17) What kind of electronic equipment, electrical signalling, electro hydraulic actuators you used for the FBW on JF-17 ?? Please focus on control law design tools , structural filter, design tools , off-line handling quality analysis tools for the FBW on JF-17
18 ) Enlighten us of the engineer in loop simulator , non-real-time simulator , real- time simulator, hardware-software integration facility , hardware in loop evaluation facility , structural coupling test facility , ground
checkout system that Pakistan has established for JF-17 tests ??
19) Enlighten us about flight dynamics simulator, engineering test station, air data test system , high speed data acquisition systems , frequency response analyser ,, signal stimulation unit, air data system test equipment at Pakistan for Jf-17 ??
20) what kind of inertial-based acceleration sensor assembly for acceleration sensing and rate sensor assembly RSA for the roll , pitch and yaw for JF-17 ??
21) Tell us about your FBW FCS direct drive valve DDV -based primary actuators for for elevon and rudder control surfaces and EHSV-based secondary actuators ??
India's LCA some nice pics
elevons and airbrakes
