    Its like using a sniper instead of a simple gun.. which makes its costlier and incapable. Generally BVR have Inertial and Radar guidance whereas WVR have IIR. No additional hints required.... Have you heard about AIM-9 Sidewinder.....

    NLCA has LEVCONS as a feature over AF LCA, the LEVCONS are meant to give NLCA more control at carrier landings and at lower speed, . And specially, this shift in CG help it in maintaining the angle if approach while carrier landings. Anyways, ASAIK NLCA has the most aerodynamic design between...

    You should need to differentiate between CCM and BVR as both are AAM but has different range classes. By the way, both are from same brand i.e. Rafael. Integration is all depends on source codes integration than after validated by live trials.

I the last post from @Sancho ADA official was taking about the dead weight which is planned to be replace by Radar &...

    In the article you posted he said, the 210kg Ballast will be replaced with 250 AESA & EW , it means he is completely ignoring the weight of MMR which is currently being integrated with test prototypes (with both MMR & Ballast weight). Either the article writer missing something while writing...

    Anyways, All three variant have Ballast weight and the lowest is in LCA trainer. In LCA (AF) , the landing gears preferred during design are too light comparable to the present one. Maybe because of precautions for crash landings. Tho who have no experience in jet aviation may compare it with...

    I also share much more data other than that.. flying testbed of MMR, Cone design, 2052 mock-up. If you really want to skip all that for your convenience, I can't help it..

    Possibly No, because HAL didn't ask for that in their RFQ and Thales will try their best to make their offer cheaper than why they add more goodies. But wait for detailed official data, as it us still in testing as per Thales, France.

    Please carefully check out your source, there is no EL/M-2052 anywhere. Rough idea of radar placement on LCA Highlighted portion is the almost space available for Radar. Rest is occupied with other equipments. Also checkout the radome design which shows size limitations for Radar. As...

    Developers are not that much fool as you are expecting. They will not waste their time in redesigning the cooling system, if they can shift the Ballast weight. Ballast weight is placed in such a way that it become the part of the airframe and mostly covers the unused space of the truss. A solid...
