In an exercise Saab Gripen comprehensively beaten J 11 in BVR combat and J 11 could not score a single kill in 32 encounters. What is true for J11 is by and large true for MKI for BVR combat. In the time of US Vietnam war, BVRs were not very effective and hence the planes were designed to...

5th generation planes will have AESA but they will have GAN based AESA and not GAAR based AESA. Former will be much more capable of detecting the object than later.

1 is wrong. MWF will super cruise.

Sorry, It is a mistake. The correct word is AAM.

In GE engines, which uses carbon composite fan, Titanium leading edges are used to protect the edges of Fan which faces maximum errosion.

It is not made to be fitted in internal bay like many other weapons. Internal weapon bays will mainly carry 1.5 tons of SAM and small bombs.

Mini Brahmos with 1.2 ton weight and 4.5 mach speed and 400 to 450 km range is in making. Forget about initial brahmos with 2.5 tons of weight.

This is something parallel to VTEC engine of cars which changes its valve adjustment to suit to its power. Rather than setting engine for highest efficiency around 80 KMPH, it will adjust to the RPM of engine and give higher efficiency at that speed. Similarly, adaptive cycle engine adjust its...

It is a sarcasm on the people who says that new AMCA will be more powerfull with 125 kn engine and 40 ton MTOW etc. I said AMCA with 150 kn will be even more powerful. I extended their imaginations.

People imagine that 125 kilo Newton engine with changes will make AMCA more portent. I said that 150 kilo Newton engine will make it even more potent. That's it. I don't say that Hundred and Fifty KN engine is in making. Just saying that bigger engine and larger wing, larger fuselage will...

150 kn engines, even larger wings and longer fuselage will make even better than the version of AMCA advocated in that post. What say?

When AMCA design is not yet freezed, who stops designers to incorporate these changes? An imaginary effort to draw parallel between Tejas Mk1 and Mk2 like update in AMCA MK1 andAMCA mk2. There is only one major change which is conceived for AMCA mk2 and that is TVC engine.

Yes it looks suboptimal so far as aerodynamics of canopy is concerned.

Fifth Generation fighter must have TWC and very high T/W ratio. This is very necessary in defensive and dogfight maneuvers. Atleast, a very high T/W ratio is necessity as it need to perform a very high turn rate and supermaneuvrability because Fifth generation aircraft need to be superior to any...

True, may be around 25 to 30%.

Why do not you give precise figures.

What more do they carry? Can you please explain?

which fofth generation plane carries more internal load more than this?

AMCA Mk2 or LCA MK1A in 2024?

More data and more understanding of how they functions help you to evolve a simulator which reduces a lots of works and experimentation.
