Thats true, but showing intent adds whole new dimension to the TEDBF development, It will get more funding priority if 300 fighter orders are assured from the word Go, Pvt sector too will start scaling up MFG facilities in their Tier 1 facilities , with earlier financial planning, A few years...

If IAF says 36 more rafales are needed , No one questions that, But TEDBF will hv a run of close to 200 fighters plus if IAF really puts its mind to it, Its specs are superior to all Twin engined MMRCAs available in market, Its development is also derisked since it is combining elements...

rightly siad They added another engine to tejas mk2 planform and got better stealth compliant fuselage from one of the models they developed fr Stealth AMCA is my view also

put a stealth weapon bay like silent Eagle program of USAF F15, it will hv better stealth than some "so called" stealth fighters, Airforce version derived from it will be the top dog fr IAF, It can compare to any 4.5 gen fighters presently on offer. especially with the news coming in about...

naval fighters with wing folding mechanisms and heavier landing gears getting restricted to 8Gs is not a new phenomenon unless we hv a cutting edge engine available , going fr 9G with those limitations above will lead to unacceptable compromises on range and pay load is my opinion Airforce...

area is proper term AS YOU SAY, I used the term VOLUME which too implied the same meaning I hv edited the post accepting your suggestion Thanks

many models were studied fr stealth AMCA , so selecting one from them is a speedier process , I suppose studies fr canards wd hv been done on Tejas mk2 itself, SO adding that also is not a new idea, TEDBF hugely benefits from the decades long hardwork of ADA on Tejas mk1 and mk2 programs

volume on any 2D cutting plane is same as the area is my inference

you hv a right to your opinion, I dont dispute that, IMHO area ruling can be fathomed only with a detailed graph plotting the volume(area in 2D sense) of fuselage and wings combined at any fuselage length point on one axis and fuselage length in another, three dimensional fuselage and wing...

WIth new advances in detecting Stealth fighters, IAF needs to back this program, because TEDBF has none of the stealth penalties(of carrying a large volume of internal fuel and lesser payloads and stringent parallel planform alignment requirement fr wing and tail edges) and a cutting edge...

Area ruling is based on total volume of fighter(wing, fuselage, and combined volume at any point on fuselage length) fuselage plotted against fuselage length, Only a detailed graph will give an accurate idea, We cant determine which has superior area ruling , just by looking at scale models
