    TEDBF or ORCA Updates

    So what's the purpose of unofficial fan forum like this? We all are here for hobby. Otherwise, it would be very intresting if every member honestly revealed their age-group, qualification, professional experience. In technical forums, philosophical comments don't add value. Every single...

    TEDBF or ORCA Updates

    Ok, but at this time it is not clear that extra volume will be occupied by fuel or how many sensors. Even in AMCA also DoD has not shown the sensors yet. So "surplus" need to be elaborated bcoz future oriented jets, 4+ or 5th gen, need to have a minimum set including DAS/MAWS, EOTS, L-Band...

    Not really, i'm talking about a 5th gen IWB stealth derivative of TEDBF, 9 tons is quite less weight, just above F-16. F-16 is 4th gen without IWB & F-35 is 5th gen with IWB, 5tons more internal fuel & many embedded optical & RF sensors. F-16 uses P&W F100-PW-229 giving 17,800 lbf (79 kN)...

    Our concerns & priorities match but in addition i said that R&D & just the prototyping should not stop if situation, budget, etc are favorable. 11 years?? The basic concept of tail-less MCA was there since 20 years or so but we didn't see any tail-less TD LCA testing also. Your concern is...

    Why r u peeling the words & shiftling focus so precisely on F-18? Basically US Armed forces = Army + Navy + AF + Marines. I'm not counting space force, coast guard & other hybrid, auxilliary & sub-divisions. Demontration team like Blue-Angles, experimental jets like F-18 HARV & other test jets...

    TEDBF or ORCA Updates

    Bcoz the airframe design is as per TEDBF primarily which is sure soo far to be prototyped & produced & ORCA needs slight modification in same airframe w.r.t. gear & wings, like the diff. b/w F-35 A & C. For example, USAF didn't buy F-18 E/F Super Hornet but other countries AFs did. I don't...

    TEDBF or ORCA Updates

    I think ORCA prototype at least should be flown so that we won't have to rely on future MRCA tenders, bcoz Rafale F5/6 plans are also there in place till they induct FCAS. And ORCA might become good export potential. Let them concentrate on whatever they can research atleast, as long as funding...

    TEDBF or ORCA Updates

    If the armed forces & R&D bodies have put this timeline & if they say they can manage & deliver then let's monitor progress on yearly basis. 10 years is a huge time for prototyping. Conceptual research always goes on about multiple options or selecting most feasible option. Hence i'm sure that...

    Learning CG tool is like learning Photoshop, AUTOCAD, C/C++, etc. There are many tutorial YT videos showing quick makeup & rendering of tanks, subs, jets, etc in 3DSmax, Blender, Maya, etc. There are many websites showcasing 3D works like DeviantArt, Turbosquid, Pinterest, etc, many others. What...

    Just for fun :cruisin2: TEDBF MK1 to :hail:MK3/4 (F/A-XX concept just for analogy, but dreams can come true🤓) Dare to Dream >> Discuss >> Design >> Develop >> Deploy It will take some time but we will get there bcoz evolution is inevitable :india:

    I think it is also under study & i have a feeling that a modified airframe of TEDBF MAY become ORCA.

    They kept people guessing about AMCA models like a puzzle🤔, still now also minute details r missing. Surprises waiting tillprototype flies🧐

    TEDBF or ORCA Updates

    Rumors? such as... An important thing to notice in F1 induction in 2001 to F4 so far is huge time taken to implement certain features, modes, etc. It does take time to implement everything in blocks/versions as per immdiate requirement & future MLUs but now/today most of of these features have...

    Yes, i believe it will/should be better than Rafale M. On a French website (https://omnirole-rafale.com/avionique/evolutif/), MLUs for Rafale has been given, till they develop FCAS. F4 (2024) GMTI (Ground Moving Target Indicator) SPECTRA: detetion & jamming extensions towards low & high bands...

    If someone here knows the CG artist then perhaps he can be requested to make a modified speculated version to show some minute details like sensors, vents, etc, like latest AMCA models are showing some.

    I have said it earlier also that i'm IT engineer, not DoD engineer. But 1 of my college senior worked on LCA in mid-late-2000s. Mentioned in my profile too.

    I agree. I'm just defending myself. We call can have truce going forward. We all have diff. backgrounds & all r total strangers.
