Hey Guys, I'm trying to compare the earlier versions JAS 39 Gripen with Tejas Mk1. I don't know much about aerodynamics of these aircrafts, I took these figures from wiki, so it might be wrong. Gripen with its Volvo-Flygmotor RM12 engine which is a derivative of the GE F404 has a top speed of...

Well yeah the article is BS.......

Scrap Rafale, Viva Tejas! This article says there will be changes in the Wingtip of Tejas Mk2, not sure where his information is coming from. Might they have done those changes to the wingtip of LSP-8 already?

GE's bid was higher than Eurojet's, so I don't think GE414 is cheaper or has lower quality. I think it was chosen because of higher thrust of 98KN as compared to 90KN of EJ2000. Although, EJ2000 is 120Kg lighter but 9KN of thrust difference provides 1798lbs of extra power.

It was in the news, but like ersakthivel said, it was not really worrisome as the problem can be resolved with some modification. 'LCA Tejas likely to be ready for operational service by 2015' | Business Standard So, what I'm trying to see here that, is it a case with GE's engines only? I...

The GE engines on F-16, F-18 and Gripen faced problems during the high altitude trials at LEH during the MMRCA contest also, am I right on that? Then recently Tejas experienced similar issues at LEH. I wonder why IAF did not prefer other Europeans engines over GE's. Eurojet was also available...

It seems there really is some difference in the wing twist in these two pictures, unless it's an illusion due to the pictures taken at different heights. But surely it's not the color contrast, the wing tip twist is clearly more prominent on the LSP-8

They didn't say Tejas is 3rd gen aircraft, they said the assembly line is 3rd gen which has been used for producing 4th gen fighters.

Looks like the first picture is not from it´s first flight, it doesn't look like it is holding a parachute in it's tail.

Re: ADA Light Combat Aircraft Tejas Isn't it from the program DRDO inside out ? Do you have the complete episode? I coundn't find anywhere.
