Read the report again. Dr Sahni only emphasized on the order and just mentioned the positives of using a composite body over conventional metallic body. We get driven by headlines only.

Tejas is supersonic at all altitudes. http://www.tejas.gov.in/specifications/leading_particulars_and_performance.html But it depends on how you fly supersonic. At altitude there is cruising speed of planes and this speed is not supersonic. Supersonic speed is achieved primarily by after...

My bad.... Didn't count on USAF numbers. Number of F-16 and F/A-18 which are currently in active service with USAF, Navy and Marines are 2137. Against these, number of F-35 planned for all the three services are 2183 with USAF getting the biggest pie against its F-16's Number of F-15 in...

If you talk about numbers, let us have a look. F-22 186 in total. Any further production has been capped. F-35 US has planned a total of 340 of these. Not yet inducted. Moreover LM tweeked there previous version of 5th Gen to suit there definition of 5th gen. 5th gen concept has been brought...

Why the pics are not visible? Mods what to do to view pics?

:biggrin2:..... Well said. The problem is what I have said long ago and even every now and then. IAF has never been on board in its development. Now lets not discuss whose fault it has been. But whenever is this the matter, you would have a customer who would ask for one or other thing every now...

Actually its the standard number in all IAF sqdn AFAIK, 16+4. The depleting sqdn strength is the reason why IAF would not go into upgradation at the beginning itself.

There is some basic reason behind it. Time and Cost. If IAF start inducting more and more FOC version to be upgraded later on, it would impact the overall cost factor of the project. Now upgrading itself would consume around a quarter of year and after tests would consume another 2 to 3 months...

What you are suggesting is the next level of aerial combat tech. Till now I believe only Mig 35 has displayed this capability with another Mig 35. Not sure if Su 30 could carry it out with another Su 30, leave alone Tejas. When a fighter locks on any target, its Fire Control System comes into...

Interesting question. Tejas right now can't use MKI's RADAR output. Leave alone Tejas, no other aircraft in our arsenal could do it right now. But the good thing is, IAF has already stepped forward towards this.

It denotes the name of the plane.

As Tejas inches towards final clearance, DRDO chairman explains why the fighter jet programme was delayed https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/as-tejas-inches-towards-final-clearance-drdo-chairman-explains-why-the-fighter-jet-programme-was-delayed-1222844-2018-04-29

Chipka do twitter pe.................... It would be slap on face of those.

Look at the second aircraft. Its in slow motion towards the end.

Look out carefully. You would notice that all these pics are taken during landing, except one which I doubt is during taxing after landing.

For those all who are jumping for private partnership in Tejas has missed out on one very important aspect of it. Currently, fuselage and many sub components of Tejas are supplied by Pvt entities. It is on record that they too are unable to provide them on schedule. HAL on their own is just...
