    Why is the Range of the Tejas so minimal compared to other aircrafts in its class? I myself have no clue to this question!! Anyone??

    Last i heard it wasn't supersonic in all altitude, only in high rarefied atmosphere where drag is less it does supersonic.

    I would think the F-16 had a lot of wing area. Any way after the end of cold war dedicated fighters are no longer required, today AFs have moved to Multi-roll fighters which can be a combination of many requirments.

    large Delta wings also cause more drag in high AoA and bleed energy and momentum fast.

    So this thing cant dog fight? How true is the statement? Still problems with AoA?

    re: Stealthy LCA Mk3, AMCA on the cards I think reporters are merely throwing out articles based on speculations, reducing radar cross section is not an easy task, useing composites alone will not solve the problem as composites are visible at many wave lengths. The current Rafale has some...

    re: Stealthy LCA Mk3, AMCA on the cards Yes it is because it has Y ducts where the compressor blades are hidden. Also the aircraft is very small compared to even the Gripen which was a deliberate choice. The Compound delta wing may also help because it is only one airfoil and has minimum...

    This is a mechanically scanning dish with look up and look down mode separate. It has probe antennas at the front which makes it a dopplar or PESA radar.

    A dry thrust of 52kN is good enough, if we concentrate so much on thrust then PAF and PLAF could have never inducted the JF-17 or J-10 which have similar T/W ratios because it falls short of IAFs requirement. Most militaries induct and then rectify, even the Typhoon Trench-1 or Raff where very...

    That was my first doubt to but this did not appear in the TD-1 till PV-2. They moved the duct after they introduced airbrakes on PV-2. I am guessing they had a issue with engine cladding heat and they had to do something. I dont think the restart will have such a small air-intake, it will be...

    That did not exist on any of the TD series or the PV-1, it began appearing in PV-2 onwards. Not sure what it is but i think it has something to do with engine coolant. However it appears after the introduction of Air brakes at the rear. They must have moved the ducts to the top to compensate...

    No the LCA weighs a full 2 tons less but the article claims they both weigh the same more over the LCAs roll is still not set. We are not trying to reinvent the F-16 what we are doing is trying to get a better Mig-21. This is only an article written to show off americas lead in all spheres.
