It's brilliant actually. It allows the pilot to know where his buddies and the enemy are while getting re-fueled and re-armed (which only takes 10 min). http://www.vectorsite.net/avgripen.html This coupled with the AESA swashplate mounted radar, the new improved EW/ECM suite and the Meteor...

I see, my bad. I seem to have missunderstod you. Getting these figures is not easy since the SwAF likes to keep certain information to themselves. Also, the SwAF does not publish results from exercises like Red Flag, they don't like to brag (unlike certain others). The pilots are also ordered...

It was the target aircraft that was limited during the exercise, it says nothing about limitations on the attacking aircraft. Here's the reason on why the accident occured.

You'll have your share of crashes as well! It's all part of a plane evolving, we are after all talking o about extreme planes, not an airliner! Crashes are really nothing to worry about it's all part of the game.

But they could have gone with a close-coupled canard design. The current Tejas design clearly suffers from issues with drag, or am I wrong? http://www.aoe.vt.edu/~mason/Mason_f/canardsS03.pdf Aircraft Testing

I'm not an engineer, I do finance. But I believe it has something to do with canards because canards reduces drag and increases lift, if they're well designed of course. Why did they decide to make the Tejas mk2 without canards?
