JF-17 Thunder Impresses Dubai International Air-show 2011
The JF-17 is an all weather, multi-role, light combat aircraft. The jet is equipped with a digital fly-by-wire flight control system, a complete glass cockpit and self-protection suite that enhances its combat potential. The JF-17 Thunder, which is jointly produced by Pakistan Aeronautical Complex and China Aero-Technology Import Export Corporation, has been put on static and aerial display in the air show. Pakistan has been plugging the JF-17 as a "cut price" combat aircraft for developing countries. "In the present environment, when defence budgets are shrinking and air forces face difficulties in affording modern combat aircraft, the JF-17 offers a highly cost effective solution with cutting edge capabilities" PAKISTAN AIR FORCE
