You can see the vortex effect from cranked delta spreading over the whole wing in this picture. As per the CFD simulation below

Well, Instead of writing long subjective posts, Try to give credible links to pages saying that, LREX, LEVCONs, Tails, Canards have cross section like this, Which produces lift. Thats a good debate that will help every one including you, me & other members learn something new today...

You can see lot of pundits expounding on various forums that so & so fighter produces so & so amount of lift from LREX, LEVCONs , canards, tail, chin what else?!?!?! Only God knows how these surfaces produce lift!!! These surfaces LREX, canards, LEVCONs can create vortex which will be...

F-18 is mostly a strike fighter , not an RSS all 4 channel digital fly by wire all rounder like rafale & tejas. Even Dassault claims that these small canards are just extra control surface. You dont expect any significant lift from them. And the area of canard is normally added in all wing...

F-18 has LREX, tejas has LEVCONS both are designed for vortex generation to give higher lift at low speeds & delay flow separation and delay the stall onset. So if we leave both out of the picture, still the wing area is a critical parameter. the reason IAf preferred mirage 2000 in kargil is...

http://defenceforumindia.com/forum/threads/alternatives-to-dassault-rafale.63921/page-6 "it was publicly mentioned that that Rafale took 10 hours for 1000 Km reunion island sortie with just two external fuel tanks and five inflight refuellings." SO if you take a 6 total fuellings , (we can...

You should always combine "Wing Loading " with TWR to get a real picture. F-18 has double the wing loading of tejas & rafale too has 25percent higher wing loading than tejas. that means tejas wings can generate higher lift than rafale & f-18 in skijump for the same load

It's nice to see fact filled posts like this. keep up the good work. tejas mk1 navy itself has better than expected ski jump take off experience pleasantly surprising the testing team, thanks to lowere wing loadings & LEVCON assistance. You can see the link below on rafale's reuion island...

Shiv Arror is not a technically qualified defence analyst. he is just a defence reporter, & thankfully now moved on to mainstream reporting , without loading LIVEFIST with useless trivia. Currently it is the navy guy balaji , who is heading tejas mk2, IAf & NAVY effort. So you cant find...

this is a disgusting lobbying effort by few vested interests. At present No one has demonstrated to Indian navy a naval fighter that is better than Tejas navy mk2 , which can operate from ski jump type IN carriers with decent loads & good enough air to air performance. So why key Navy serving...

It is still not confirmed that Tejas mk2 navy is capable of firing brahmos NG.

Do you have Any specific input to say ,"tejas mk2 Naval will be inferior to rafale & F-18"?

I dont think that IN is hand holding local industry by spending its precious little budget money on tejas mk2!!! Other than the Mig-29 right now they have no other option for their carrier fleet, which they hope to expand substantially, And russians of late are not generous in letting indians...
