[简氏防卫周刊-2005年12月5日]联合研制的中国-巴基斯坦FC-1/JF-17轻型多任务战斗机已经进行一个主要的重新设计，包括改变进气口、翼身融合和后机身部分。经过修改的第四架原型已经完成三个月的试验。

    成都FC-1，也将会被巴基斯坦航空公司(PAC)制造被称为JF-17，是二个国家联合发展的一个定向-外销计划。第四架原型(TP4)具有新的功能很好的进入它的测试计划之内，同时第五架飞机正在用于静态测试(连同第二架原型一起)。

    The joint Sino-Pakistani FC-1/JF-17 light multirole fighter aircraft has undergone a major redesign, including changes to its air intakes as well as the wing-fuselage join and rear fuselage section. The fourth prototype with the modifications has completed three months of trials.

    The Chengdu FC-1, which will also be manufactured by the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) as the JF-17, is an export-orientated programme under joint development by the two countries. The fourth prototype (TP4) with new features is well into its test programme while a fifth aircraft is being used for static testing (along with the second prototype).

    The PAC is establishing its own facility to build the aircraft and has been importing specialist machine tools from suppliers in Sweden, and elsewhere, to set up a better production line than the one already established at Chengdu. Work on the first PAC aircraft is expected to begin in 2006.
