ADA Tejas (LCA) News and Discussions

[V_Force]

You have to compromise on Mass and would have to undertake a massive structural change for that. Moreover it would increase the maintenance charge of the whole platform.

And I think that will be not possible because of size wise, " this will be like to fit LPG CYLINDER IN A SPACE OF KEROSENE STOVE."

Yeah it is........ But by creating RADAR of that (KEROSENE STOVE) size too will not solve the purpose of implementing it in the air frame.
As far as my knowledge goes, only a few Russian designs have that facility.

One can clearly see the difference in technology involved here. DERBY despite being a BVRAAM has a sleeker (may be lighter as well) and more compact launch rails than R-73's. Paython 5 also uses similar rails.

Presently, Astra MK-1 uses R-77's launch rails but after integration of Derby with LCA we might see switching to Israeli rails which will definitely save some weight.

Size of the pylon relates to launch stess, a BVR has a long way to go 7 can accelerate slowly to gain momentum, but a WVR has to instantly get the momentum with more severe launch stress leading to heavier pylon, just my thoughts, nothing else.

Sh......shh....Sir Kindly reman silence till IAF inducts Tejas in numbers. Do not highlight another requirement otherwise IAF people/babus will raise one more requirement infront of HAL and ADA to be incorporated in tejas, which i think impossible in the fighter which was to be successor of Mig-21, and now after 20 or 25 years later and lots of patience, we are wishing to Tejas to perform better than the F-35, F-22 raptor, SU34 AND SU35.

KH -2012 (LSP-2) screaming past to achieve a milestone.. Image picked up from the archives of GOA detachment NOV 2010 where Tejas reached the speed of 1354 Kmph CAS.

KH-2014 and KH-2017 departing from Sakhir Airbase after a week long stay in the foreign soil. It was a show to be remembered for ever as the display scripted a new chapter in Tejas's journey.

Shape Memory Alloy, a advance technology used in Light combat aircraft LCA Tejas

Shape memory alloy is a very advance technology will be used for morphing capabilities. Sixth generation fighter aircraft will be made of this material.

India is progressing well in this technology. Good to see that counties most advance technology is going in LCA tejas

What is Shap Memory Alloy ??
