Navy is changing mind about N LCA MK II because Mig 29 K are totally useless and they are falling apart. They are not able to handle stress of carrier landing. Their body is developing cracks and engine are useless. We have lost about 40 engines and Russians are not fixing it. When Indian navy send RFP Mig was not invited. So navy is in lock. I think they now keep combination of N LCA MKII and F-18 or Rafale.
If we make HTFE 25 upgraded version of 37 kn dry and 50 kn afterburner, we can use it in twin engine Tejas. We must continue working on improving the design.

Exactly, they should have gone for that. But it would be a new plane.

Bro, are you joking!!??

When the HTFE project came into picture, the max they planned on going is around 40-45(structural strength)kn.

HTFE has started as a project to understand the 3-D printed metal parts and also to replace low thrust engines(Hawk and variants).

Converting a single engine two twin engine is no easy task. What about increase of weight!? Extra space for fuel!!

Sirji, aap ko Kya ho gaya!!!

To all those posts have been deleted from this thread recently.

It is tough to babysit adults, so behave. Please read forum rules again.
Because instead of lecturing on Dos and Don't, next time I will hand out bans.

Let's hope you'll be able to surgically ban the 'offensive instigators' of the brawls, and not fling a chain saw around to take down those defending themselves from the offenders!

Read it carefully!

The radar is ELM-2032 not ELM-2052 (the AESA radar designated for Mk1A).

This order seems to be for the 20 Mk1-FOC

I'm sure people realize that this is not my full time job, cannot be for anybody in my place.
Members should report such posts and not equate themselves to offensive instigators by responding likewise.
That is one way to enable surgical moderation.
