    Why Tejas Mk2 (MWF) Will Be Important

    Some rough & ready calculation by Indranil Roy of BR will guide u to calculate ferry range of plain mk1, Extrapolate it to MWF, to know what it can do the ferry range is 1700 kms with 1200 ltr drop tanks. So it must at least have a 2 hour endurance under cruise condition. Another way is to...

    December - The PV-3 flew for the first time for 27 minutes at an altitude of 2.5 km and at a speed of Mach 0.8. The PV-3 was equipped with a more advanced pilot interface, refined avionics and higher control law capabilities compared with the previous versions. 2007 Tejas PV-1 firing an R-73...

    Why Tejas Mk2 (MWF) Will Be Important

    Senior Member https://defenceforumindia.com/forum/threads/ada-tejas-lca-news-and-discussions.1/page-422 Firstly, as testified by the IAF test pilots who have flown the Tejas through more than a thousand hours of flight-testing, the current version of the fighter, i.e. the Tejas Mark I, is...

    Why Tejas Mk2 (MWF) Will Be Important

    Earlier IAF insisted thT Tejas mk1 should hv the same foot print of mig21, to fit into the existing infra in bases So ADA has to factor that into design. MWF is the unleashing of the full potential of Tejas tech & design capabilities. It vancbe easily evolved in to twin engined stealth like...

    Why Tejas Mk2 (MWF) Will Be Important

    AOA expansion is a process that continues well after FOC in all fighters I hv already posted a ADA CFD Study which showed that Tejas pilot will still retain aerodynamic control of wings well up to 32 deg, in the closed ADA tejas thread. What FOC did is to validate it up to 26deg.so if the...

    Why Tejas Mk2 (MWF) Will Be Important

    Thats due to specific IAF demand , which resulted in the lowest wing loading of Tejas mk1, which no other modern fighter has. So it's pertinent to note that hiw useful Tejas will be in kashmir valley & Exercise HIMVIJAY type situations in future.

    Why Tejas Mk2 (MWF) Will Be Important

    This is not to say I agree with Yusuf's analogy that we don't need MWF before development of AMCA. ADA has stated TEJAS MK1,MK1A, MK2, STEALTH AMCA will all hv the same wing loading SPEC i.e ,"wing area/ take off clean". They hv already mastered , the control laws CLAWS &Relaxed Static...

    Why Tejas Mk2 (MWF) Will Be Important

    By the same token I hv been hearing about AMCA stealth fr about a decade. If a name pops up in public domain means it is not ,"SANCTIONED". Same with MK2. IF tejas mk2 was sanctioned in 2009, Is there any record for GOI's fund release running into 1000s of crores to develop it? If it is...

    Why Tejas Mk2 (MWF) Will Be Important

    tracking is one thing, but getting a FCR fire control solution is another thing, Even if AWACS cues passive enemy 4.5th gen fighter to shoot BVR Tejas mk2, before the enemy fighter switches on its FCR to give tejas co ords to its BVR, Tejas mk2 will track it first & shoot. SO unless the...

    Why Tejas Mk2 (MWF) Will Be Important

    F35 has massive engine exhaust, how come it will hv lessser heat signature than tejas mk2, which will emit far less thermal energy, And any 5th gen super cruising fighter will hv high surface temp,as well. If tracking tech advances to track 5th gens it will be level playing field again. I...
