JF17 cant really be equated to LCA.
LCA is an 100% Indian Effort .
Jf17 is a Joint Venture.

Good photographer.
With all due respect, Why does LCA have so big 4 action barrels sticked below the main wings?

Hi guys

Though this is my first post, I have been following this forum for a few months. The pics are beautiful for sure and though LCA might be some way of from IOC or FOC I feel proud of all the stakeholders involved. I have my concerns though. By looking at the pics I am getting the feeling that : the rear visibility of the aircraft is not upto the mark. The big barrier behind the cockpit( which maybe to protect the pilot in case of ejections : which is the case with Mig-21) results is a very poor visibility.
Can anyone tell me if it will pose a significant problem for the aircraft in close combat or has IAF done anything to avert this threat?
(Now some of us might say that in the world of BVR close combat is outdated and the rear visibility and stuff maynot matter that much but realistically we should be prepared for anything)

I dont think thats an issue at all.

o , It was called "flap actuator" in English.
(see the picture.that is so called actuator)




I have never seen so big actuator on a fighter? It's more like somthing install on a airliner.

Sorry Xinix , but due to my lack of knowledge or image deciphering skills i am unable to understand your point.
( If you're trying to contest that the avionics can substitute for the rear sight then I wouldnt like to agree with you ( Su-30 mki's,Eagles and even mirage2000 in a few instances have mirrors for the same purpose) , If you are referring to the angle from where the picture has been taken then I would say that the position is not 6'o clock, in any case please break down the explanation for me).
