I hope you could provide me some info. If you see plane behind the this plane. Only the left wing is visible. You can see wing-fences on the wing.<br /><br />These wing fences were added to the S3466 recently. However none of the other prototypes including the one in this pic have the wing fences. <br /><br />Are these wing fences on S3466 only for the upcoming spin tests? Or are they going to be part of the production variant?<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br />Indranil RoyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-81991046021983987522011-02-21T11:17:32.973-08:002011-02-21T11:17:32.973-08:00It's Hawk AJT, license built by HAL!It's Hawk AJT, license built by HAL!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-26718240056086390712011-02-21T10:49:27.759-08:002011-02-21T10:49:27.759-08:00I am not defense expert but have a lot of interest...I am not defense expert but have a lot of interest in it.
