AMCA - Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (HAL)

[Pandeyji]

No AMCA dates are mentioned. Aldo, Bhamre had said Mk2 FOC is by 2025 while Dhanoa is saying 2027 induction. Generally inductio is after IOC itself

Well b/c both programs are starting now so I think it is fair to assume they would finish at same time.
P.S.:- I think 2027 is worst case date by Dhanoa

After years of sabotage of defence projects,,,I can see some progress.

I like how much indigenization we have achieved thanks to TEJAS, hopefully for amca it's right down to the powerplant if we need to keep this project truely classified.

I think we should rope in Israel into this project early on. Their expertise in avionics and will drastically cut down the development time of the program. Also, it will give them another 5G fighter to add to their air force and reduce complete dependence on the Americans. Perhaps we can also leverage their materials tech for our own engine program as well.

Best is 4way partner ship with India Israel France and Germany, better still if Japan too join in to make it a true global competitor to F-35.

Japan has its own program which is undergoing flight testing ATX Shinshin . They won't collaborate .

France doesn't collaborate with rest of Europe in fighter jets , that's why France has Rafale program separate from Typhoon

Best is to follow Tejas model of developing your own stuff and importing where it is needed .

Israel has bought F35 and modified it with their own technology .they won't share it with anyone lest they lose the secrets.

And when exactly will AMCA be operational? 2050? I hope I'm wrong, but if they pull another arjun on us, or drag it out like Tejas, then we won't get anything before 2040. They better get serious about this and fast track everything. And for God sakes bring in the private sector. And steal/hack/reverse engineer technology if you have to, but all major components must be 100% Indian made.

In time to replace upgraded Mig 29, Mirage, Jags around 2035. At least that's the plan / hope.

If INC doesn't come to power in next election you can see first prototype by 2024

Most of Senior scientists at ADA have been deligated to AMCA development.. and it is progressing at a good rate.

Old photo of 3B01 model from a seminar in Aero India 2013. It would be a good alternative to FGFA (whose future looks uncertain) to be developed into AHCA while 3B08 to be developed into AMCA.

No matter how many scientists work on the project it takes time to test all the new things that are going to be in AMCA to be tested so these things which may be advanced in some cases(at least lighter or faster) should be started to test on the tejas soon..... Will help in two ways tejas may be upgraded with these systems and will be AMCA ready. Time will not be wasted.

More over tejas is a highly mature and safe platform as of now and don't require any OEM consent as it is indegeneous.

Better new things should be tested on a mature platform. Tejas Mk1a which is proposed to be lighter, needs these things to woo IAF in the carrot and stick method for Mk2.

Too much new things are not good for early induction of a new platform and it takes more time to iron out probs.

ADA has already received the full-scale air intake duct for the AMCA's 3B-09 design version from NAL.

I hope ADA will develope full scale prototype of AMCA by 2021.:bounce:

Without engine how? .............

F414 may be used for initial AMCA prototypes.

We had ordered 6 of them of which 2 were received last year.

according to previous report s initially f414 will be used .....hope Kaveri will be ready soon ...an Indian fighter with an Indian engine. will be a dream come true ...
