Drag? I don't recall reading about drag problems? Canards can be dangerous due to pitch instability and sensitivity to CG(center of gravity). I don't think there is a production canard delta, close coupled or otherwise that isn't AoA (angle of attack) limited. Experienced pilots are able to...

Because the LCA does not need canard, the LCA does not have a conventional delta wing. The LCA's wing is a compound delta wing somewhat similar to the F-16 XL "Cranked Arrow". A LCA's compound delta high set twisted wing with hidden CFD chambers allows for higher angle of attack at lower speeds...

The F414 EDE variant have undergone significant weight reduction over earlier models due to reduction in parts and stages and the use of light weight materials. The EDE variant is powered by an advanced two-stage, all-blisk (blade and disk) fan and new high-pressure turbine (HPT) design. The use...

Did I touch a nerve?:happy_2: You are perhaps not smart enough to realize that the selection of the GE F-414 gives the IAF options. Including, a possible replacement power plant for the M-88 if the Rafale wins the MMRCA - since prototypes of the Rafale was powered by the F-404 it isn't far...

Bummer! damn dem politicians and their damned politics. Clearly the Rolls engine is a better choice and it even has 'bliscs', so what if its its a bit longer just ask your pilots to be extra careful while landing. If its still a 'BIG' deal then I'm sure the nice folks at Rolls can snip it a...
