There is nothing like adequate dry/military thrust for a combat aircraft engine, but yes one is need list and other is the wish list.

If you mean the Super Maneuverability and Thrust vectoring feature, they helps when a BVR engagement do not occur/fails and close combat happens, it is termed as dog fight. Super maneuverability is attained through improved aerodynamic design such as the reverse sweep like wing design and...

Where is the intregrated IRST system :fu: I hope it comes with retractable refueling pod fitted

Correction PAK-FA should employ variable inlet to control airflow, Variable inlet is available in Su-27/30 models I think. While F-22 is fixed inlet design like that of AMCA.

Those are diverters, without it can create uneven/irregular airflow inside the intake that can create shock waves and stall the engine. a new innovative idea for fixed inlet is DSI that is employed in F-35/JF-17/J-20

I wonder why a DSI port is not used, it seems like fixed geometry duct and DSI is an improvement for fixed geometry intake design or as it known around the fanboy internet world :troll:

Last checked a High Bypass ratio is feasible for requirements which demands good fuel economy or say thrust specific fuel consumption. While low bypass turbo fans deliver a high power to weight ratio at the expense in fuel economy. Commercial airlines are usually a high bypass turbofan, cause...

The Single piece canopy glass is a welcome while the static tail with rudder control seems like a less risky design to begin with :hmm: I hope they dont keep the retractable refuelling pod and IRST pods as latter accessories such as the infamous mk.II versions :fu:

Why a high bypass ratio?

Anyways we still dont have a desi engine to mate with it, Is it me or the new artistic impression looks bigger the the previous wild tunnel model.

LCA got dedicated SSDU- Smart Standby Display Units, just in case.

You got a point.

AMCA is expected to have a radar reflective coating on canopy, chances are that it would be a gold coating :cool:

I think India should try in the PAK-FA class, atleast Russians are taking the technological challenge while we can go for the frame design and few sub systems rest will be Russian hardwares,after all this is what ADA/HAL all about, and suppose hey fail it can be changed with Russian or if the...

Wow a toned down F-22 design, even the tail design looks similar, but not the exhaust :dude: I feel the need of extra two side weapon bay, God knows where we will find the engine this time :dude:
