FC-1 Multirole Fighter Aircraft (JF-17)

The FC-1 (Fighter China-1) 'Xiaolong' is the single-seat, single-engine, multirole fighter aircraft developed by Chengdu Aircraft Industry Corporation (CAC) for the export market. Currently three prototypes are flying. A joint venture between CAC and Pakistani Aeronautical Complex (PAC) will begin initial production of 16 aircraft in 2006. The designation of the aircraft in the Pakistani Air Force (PAF) is Joint Fighter-17 (JF-17) Thunder. The PLA Air Force (PLAAF) has yet confirmed whether it would order any FC-1 fighter. A total of 8 JF-17 fighters have been delivered to the PAF by March 2008. The aircraft is callable of 'beyond-visual-range' (BVR) attack capability with the PL-12/SD-10 active radar-homing medium-range air-to-air missile (MRAAM) developed by China Leihua Electronic Technology Research Institute (LETRI, also known as 607 Institute). The aircraft also carries two short-range AAMs on its wingtip-mounted launch rails. The options include U. S. AIM-9P and Chinese PL-7, PL-8, and PL-9. The aircraft can carry a special pod allowing day/night delivery of laser-guided weapons. In addition, it can also carry unguided weapons such as iron bomb and unguided rocket launchers.
