It seems that you have a different yardstick when it comes to range calculations compared to what the world normally believes in. We are probably arguing on non issues.

Re: ADA LCA Tejas - IV I think I misunderstood your post. I got confused by the mission profile pictures which you posted while explaining about Range and Ferry range.

Re: ADA LCA Tejas - IV I hope you know the difference between Radius of Action (ROA), Range and Ferry Range? The range is given for internal fuel only from one point to another at optimum altitude cruise condition using LRC speeds. ferry range is given for max fuel including drop tanks for...

Re: ADA LCA Tejas - IV The SFC is basically amount of fuel burnt in unit time to produce unit amount of thrust. the units can vary but the fuel burnt is always the mass and not the volume. Now SFC varies on many factors but you get best SFC figures for a jet engine when it is operating...

@ersakthivel, Bro I do not go by press reports. I go by what is called aerodynamics. I had posted the link in post #74 for the benefit of all members regarding what is called stability. I also asked you about the relationship between wingloading, AOA, rate of turn and radius of turn. I have yet...

Re: ADA LCA Tejas - IV The RSS & Unstable designs need larger surfaces than stable designs as they need to prevent and control uncommanded pitch up. F-22 & F-35 both are unstable designs. none of them is RSS. The huse two heavy engines plus large wing set very aft and wheels which are also...

Re: ADA LCA Tejas - IV @ersakhivel we are once again getting to the same point where we stopped last time. can you pls tell what is the relationship between wingloading, AOA, rate of turn and radius of turn. Once you do that, re-read what you have posted above. Lastly RSS & Unstable for you...

Re: ADA LCA Tejas - IV @ersakthivel, As you may know that CP is related to MAC which in turn is related to wing shape which means sweepback or lack of it has big effect on location and movement of CP. So I wrote about 42* sweepback. Regarding cranked delta design, It has been hailed as best...

Re: ADA LCA Tejas - IV I hope you know the diff between an Unstable and RSS ac. Do you know it? I am still waiting for the replies to my questions reproduced below. 1. Why has cranked delta design not been applied to anyother fighter tilldate including the latest stealth designs? 2. I have...

Re: ADA LCA Tejas - IV The same wiki very clearly mentions if an ac is RSS. It does not do so for most stable design ac. If it is silent on RSS for F-22, it means that F-22 is not RSS. It cud be anything but RSS.

Re: ADA LCA Tejas - IV @ersakhivel, I am still waiting for the reply to the pointed questions I asked. Regarding F-22, I had clearly stated that I have not found anything which states that it is RSS ac. I had asked you to post such data if you have it. Posting the reference data for making an...

Re: ADA LCA Tejas - IV A-320 does complete autoland in Cat-3b conditions including coming to full stop on ground after landing. And it lands better than what most pilots can do.

Re: ADA LCA Tejas - IV Have you heard of F-4 phantoms being used as target drones? They are non FBW. Any ac can be configured for remote piloting. Long back NASA flew a B707 for crash testing in similar manner.

Every missile needs some kind of guidance to the target and than final terminal guidance to identify the target to attack it. This is done by either scene mapping or microwave radars or IIR or target designation by third party. Terminal guidance is most important if the target is moving or has...

Topsight HMD is being used in IN MIG-29K. Same was supposed to be fitted to upgraded MIG-29s of IAF
