No, I don't think F-414 is drop fit. Fuselage has to be widened by 2 inches for F414.

1. It's not clear but probably the 2 seat-er trainer will serve as LIFT. It is rumoured that 16 of them will be ordered apart from the 8 among the 40 which are already ordered. 2. ALH Dhruv's production capacity is 30 PA currently being increased to 40. 3. Mk-1 might not be upgradeable to Mk-2...

Where is the Bride? I mean the SP-1? Any photos of her? We have seen these barathis many times. ============== And why is HAL still waiting for GoI permission to increase production from 8 to 16? Why was permission not given from Dec. 2013 when IOC-2 was achieved? HAL needs just...

2 points. ( technical discussion aside) 1. LCA was never designed to receive Russian engine. As we wanted to diversify. 2. Mig-29 uses RD-33 ( from which RD-93 is developed). So we know what that engine is capable of.

That is because your question is wrong moron. LCA is designed keeping in mind the outcome. SQR and Revised SQR by air-force. So, it is none of the above you mentioned. One cannot reply factually to mushing of a demented individual.

JFT? 800 km with full pay-load? Show me the mathematical model son? (simplified one will do) PS. let's see if you are an engineer.

@shiphone And your point being?

So, 2 Tejas in FY 13-14 and 6 Tejas in FY 14-15. But, SP-1 and SP-2 will not be inducted into squadron service. So, SP-3 onward which will be delivered in FY 14-15 shall see squadron service.

Excerpts ============== Maybe the C17 transport picture explains it.

This can be a potential spoilsport depending upon how serious the matter is.

Tejas trials Fast-tracked to meet deadline - The New Indian Express

Well I think 99 (GE 404 and GE 414) will be directly imported.( excluding the 24 or so GE 404 imported for LSP's) and then 40 GE 404 ( for first engine change for mk-1) and 100 GE 414 will be produced at HAL under licence production. Link added...

LCAs to be ready by mid-2014, says India's top scientist - The Times of India

This information doesn't match with the info given by Dr. Chander in his interview.

F404-GE-IN20 Engines Ordered for India Light Combat Aircraft | Press Release GE 414 can't be fitted without modification to fuselage and air intake( widened by 20cm approx)

Kunal Sir, I am not very much worried over a delay of a month or two. But, about the massage this type of incidents projects to the outside world. It sends out a message that somebody somewhere is clueless or is risk aversive. If Dr. Chander declares that the deadline is postponed by two months...

So, they are reverting back to September deadline. I don't understand Some day after meeting with RM they declare November is the new deadline. And, other day they say because of 140hrs of test flight left we are sticking to September. Didn't they know that only 140 hrs of test flight time is...

Thanks @p2prada , for explaining so lucidly the working. But, please look at the below quoted text, which I have quoted from the original article. Sir, I think it was deliberate. Tejas grounds Medium Combat Aircraft project - The New Indian Express

I didn't believe him in the first place. And this piece of article was put to rest by you and Kunal Biswas as soon as it appeared in this forum itself. And I had read that as well. But, by my previous post, what I meant was that the journalist who deliberately spread disinformation should be...
