AEROINDIA 2019

I'd hope that it is an autofolding rotor.

The interview that Tarmak did with the R&D head and Grp Capt Unni Pillai revealed that the rotors and the tail boom are auto.

But this guy says rotor folding mechanism still remains issue as the forward non foldable blade makes it untenable on most of ships

Thats because the width of the folded rotors is about 18 feet. One rotor remains extended forwards as you can see.

That needs to be sorted as well.
HAL has promised - lets see.

There seems to be 2 internal weapons bay
One in the middle
One in the rear

Wow, are those side bay doors?

Also, I hope there's something akin to the JSF EOTS planned for the AMCA.

No..thats for the landing gear

And the "rear" bay isn't practically possible. No space for weapons under the engines, will also cause weight distribution issues also.

More likely it shows the darkened panels as engine access bay for maintenance / replacement purposes

Where did you see side bay doors ?

With saw tooth configuration along the edges ?

Which is always a indication that the bay doors will be opened in flight and hence to reduce RCS during such.

I don't think so , it's definitely weapons bay also given the size

Also regarding weight distribution and what not , if one is not part of the design team , one cannot comment on the same due to the complexities involved.

Anyways let's wait and watch

I don't think so

Saw tooth edges should rightly be applied to ALL panel gaps as any straight edges compromise stealth. So ANY and ALL openable panels, be they weapons bays, fuel points, avionics bay, even the canopy and gun port all have saw tooth edges in true stealth configuration. Heck even the bay which houses the embarkation ladder for the F-35 has a saw tooth edge.Take a look at the F-22 and compare with F-35 and you can see the difference and understand why people keep harping that F-35 is far too compromised on many aspects

And it comes with

1.IRST in the nose

2.Wingtip mounted weapon pylons

3.11 hardpoints

4. Fully active close coupled canards

5. IFR ( seems fixed )

The AMCA display at #AeroIndia2019. The IAF said yesterday that this platform will be their priority 5th gen procurement ‘if it comes up in time’. A huge ‘if’, but work on at full pace. Update shortly.

We’re live with HAL’s new unmanned helo, the RUAV breaking cover at #AeroIndia2019.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but do I count 11 hardpoints.

Well I also ended up counting 11 hardpoints
