By the way in case of FGFA will the twin seater aircraft, compromise on stealth, as compared to one seater PAK FA
The reason we prefer Twin-seater configuration is because we would be more efficient in handling multiple systems simultaneously in a potential full-blown war. Trust me, it isn't easy to handle everything by oneself and s a great relief if someone behind me is monitoring weapon and other systems. It greatly reduces our workload and also at the same time ensures that we are able to remain outside the stress envelope. The reason why Russia doesn't need them is probably because they are used to a single pilot system for decades as compared to the recent observation by Indian authorities of a better performance when having 2 pilots. If there is a potential conflict where we are to strike deep into enemy territory, a second set of eyes on the scenario in our favor would be really helpful when we fly amidst of all the anti-air fire and SAM batteries.
ROTFLMAOSo that President can sit on the back seat.
ha ha ha ha......very true my friendSo that President can sit on the back seat.
oviously the co- pilots work is to cook food or else how can our pilots feed bomb to our enemies without cooking it<targeting>.I think one pilot is for flying the plain and the other pilot will squat on the floor and tie his lunge tightly and cook food in the back with an kerosene stove!
yupmay be because "ek se bhale do"
dont u think in a war scenario a single pilot will be in a stressed state at flying the craft as well as targeting the enemy , double work.......................most of Indian pilots hate the twin seat fighters, because the second pilot always interfere with decision making.
its mostly the age old strategy to have two pilot for long mission , to divide the work load. but india should look for single seat variant since we don't have our enemy far away from us.
twin pilots means more confusion, two minds are not always better than one. because it will put you in flux should i go for it or not.dont u think in a war scenario a single pilot will be in a stressed state at flying the craft as well as targeting the enemy , double work.......................
Can you post some source validating your claims? Not all of us have the privelige of just walking into some IAF base and asking a pilot their opinion on IAF doctrine (which they are not obliged to answer anyway).twin pilots means more confusion, two minds are not always better than one. because it will put you in flux should i go for it or not.
Most airforce sill run with single pilot. also twin seat increase the rcs. i dont deny that a few win seat must be kept but - not all.
most of the indian pilots hate this concept of having too many twin seat jet. just go n ask any.
apart from it , 2 pilots means 1 extra mind to ward off enemiesCan you post some source validating your claims? Not all of us have the privelige of just walking into some IAF base and asking a pilot their opinion on IAF doctrine (which they are not obliged to answer anyway).
MiG-21s, Mirage 2000s, and MiG-29s are all single seat fighters. It it is only the Su-30MKI which has two seats and that is because it is designed to stay in the air for up to 10 hours at a time. Imagine having a single pilot trying to manage all the controls and procedures by himself for 10 straight hours.
The future FGFA will also have twin seats because it is designed to more or less perform the same roles as our Flanker does today, partially replacing some of the older Su-30s in front-line service.
All other (major) air forces also operate twin-seat aircraft for long-range, high-endurance multirole missions, including the American F-15E and Russian Su-34.
