It’s really sad to see, that this kind of a plane, that obviously has good aerodynamics, get’s a cockpit with technology of 30 years ago.
I hope it’s not the cockpit the serial production model will have.
An FC-1 with good avionics would be a superb plane.
Erez, the cockpit is not in the picture yet. Pakistani former ACM had requested to get it in the air asap and then look at the avionics. At that time the avionics were coming a major headache. Pakistan had becom kind of paria. That was the actual moment that they decided to make it a plug and play plane. The next prorotype will have avionics versions. Just see it as EF2000 pic in last edition of the AFM. You see there a pic with conventional avionics combined with digital. It is just to test the digital ones. Here they are not even started with avionics. It is pretty sure that they will be comparable with the average MFD fitted planes.
One thing that strikes me is the bubble canopy. Is it that difficult to change that? And besides that the F35 has allso not that perfect 360 view. Let us even forget Mirage m2k-9. So why adding huge drag if it is special for BVR?
Cheers.
O… I am honoured that I am mentionned by GD. Yep. Those tailwings did some strange movements and I tried it to explain it with some pics. I still think that it will be increased in size.
