There are no available comparisons between the two aircraft because one is still on the drawing board while gripen ng hasone demonstrator flying.What I am trying to say is take those figures quoted by SAAB with more than a pinch of salt. We do not know thae loadout for which the gripen will have...

Some ITR figures of aircraft as a yardstick. The LCA will exceed the mirage. At 30,000 –35000 ft and 5G the ITR is 10- 12°/second. At 36,000 ft and Mach 2 the Mirage can maintain a 3G turn. At an altitude of 40,000 ft and Mach 1.05 pulling the stick nearly full-aft produces 4.5G and an angle...

@aero_sp I hope the above post explains a bit of it. I aint no aero guru but let me try to explain if you didnt get what is written above from a layman's POV. AS the above post explains tejas was designed for optimal performance at a certain altitude and for certain desirable characteristics, in...

Now a good question was asked as to why SAAB who have long experience in designing fighters added canards to the viggen inspite of having the same compound delta design of tejas. The following post is by indranilroy...

there have been some nice discussions on BRF. Cross posting here as it will clear the confusion about lca's wing being a wrong design. This one is by maitya Turn Rates are directly proportional to, 1) Load Factor, 2) Lift Co-eff 3) Air Density 4) but are inversely proportional to Wing Loading...

Does anybody know the given radar range is against what reference? 5m^2 or 2 m^2 ? @Twinblade

Tarmak007 -- A bold blog on Indian defence: Tejas Mk-II preliminary design to be ready by next month By Anantha Krishnan M Express News Service Bangalore: The Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) is giving the final touches to the preliminary design of the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas...

What is the SFC of m88 under full militiary thrust and optimum conditions vis ai vis the F 404 ? Anybody got any data?

Just stop posting this toilet paper rajat pandits articles. Just look at the tone f the article. An average layman will feel like he is being looted!

Does the ILSS include the OBOGS or is it seperate. If it is already part of it does it mean we have already developed OBOGS?

The chat was more disappointment than anything else. Absolutely stupid questions are being asked and he is answering them!! He does not give any specifics as if it will compromise the entire program. I know sensitive information must be withheld but I guess you can answer some of them. And th...

The tejas loaded onto the c 17 was TD-1. Its going to be displayed at the india gate according to idrw report.:india::lca:

If the articles figures are correct then we can but 5 tejas for every rafale or almost two brand new tejas for every mirage upgrade.Even the life cycle costs of the tejas will be much lower than any aircraft the IAF operates. I guess our little aircraft gives great value for money. IMHO the IAF...

I have doubt for the gurus. Why do we need more aircraft for deep strike role than the 270 mki's we are procuring? Historically IAF has only attackd militiary bases or nerve targets. The Tejas can carry 2 500 kg bombs. Isn't that enough for most missions atleast on the western front like taking...

What is the the difference between the Spectra and Tejas' EW suite? From what I have understood spectra gives rafale the ability to detect another aircraft using that aircraft's radar emissions to pinpoint that aircraft.Isn't the Tejas RWJ capable of doing that? I read that the RWR aboard Tejas...

Must accept. You have great imagination

Anybody validated the roll rate? Have they sped it up in the video or not? @p2prada, @Twinblade, @ersakthivel

I dont know how to upload a video otherwise I would have shown the difference. Just check it out once more on ada's website of iron fist video and compare with the latest one..

Basis is video of ADA itself. Go check it out once again. The same part is way slower. Also I remember seeing a video on YouTube of tejas in iron fist of third party which had the speed shown in the latest video. I guess the company which made the video made a goof up. Because I don't think it...
