Don't get exited, if anyone believes that britfags will give us "know-why" of the aero-engine, then he is a fool.

Yeah .. they learnt their lesson

How a British Turbojet Allowed Russia's MiG-15 to Fight the Air Force During the Korean War

And raise the stakes dramatically.

Did ada consult with navy for naval amca version?

6500kg fuel and 6500 w load cannot take off with FULL frm carrier just like airforce version mig29 russia modified for carrier ,unless more powerfull engine used for naval.

Any expert answer pls....

That's why naval AMCA plan was rejected for the time being. Navy has opted for TEDBF.

oh.., instead naval amca could hv developed, it will be easy to convert to air force version.

Off course, developing a more powerful engine for naval version would add up few more years for air force also to wait who is already begging government for an FGFA.
We still haven't concluded for that 110 kN engine either.

Navy has a requirement that its deck based fighter jet should be capable of carrying 6 BVR missiles, AMCA with its IWB is only capable of carrying 4 BVR missiles.
Also, converting an conventional fighter jet into a deck based fighter is not always the right approach, especially with structural rigidity, a deck based fighter needs to be rugged and be capable of surviving harsh deck landings and short takeoffs.

First flight 2026-7 and induction by 2035 is very reasonable. But IAF need to get their act together and upgrade the MKIs to a MUCH higher spec and go all in on LCA MK.2 ASAP (enough so that they are inducting >25/year from 2030). Ideally they’d also order an additional 2-3 SQNs each of the LCA MK1A and Rafale within the next 2 years

this would make the IAF a force to be reckoned with but of course this CAS has shown no pragmatism and only love for his MRFA fantasy

15000 for amca,13000 for tedbf. Waste of money,time and human resources. Instead go for naval amca and convert into for airforce. Even in weapon development,they not come together. Weapon Load also not enough.May endup short leg like lca mk1.

Even the 75 KN dry thrust engine that is still on paper will not be sufficient for a naval AMCA with the additional structural weight. Goodluck converting it to AF version after that. That way IAF won't have a 5th gen jet even by 2040. Even the AF version with 75KN engine has been moved to Mark 2 and Mark 1 is now pursued. That is the realistic, practice, achievable and viable option for India's nascent fighter jet ecosystem.
Fixing the goalpost on some ultra uber design and platform is a sureshort way to kill the program. Current approach is the best. Phase by phase capability increase

No but we would like you to substantiate your arguments
And it took one comment to get your "exfartise" out in the open.
No shit, sherlock

When one doesn't know much about a topic ask questions..dont pass judgment like u know it all...there has been much discussion about why navalized amca will not be suitable for carrier ops both in the forum and by experts that are available in the digital media for free..search it then ...pass ur opinion

look at his Q... that is not SUBSTANTIATE arg,...I need nt ur explain it to u bullies like u...

Kid for your info , many people here have substantial information , and those people you criticized for have experience in aircraft designing , let me ask you a basic question , what kind of bearing is used in canard . And what kind of stress it will have .
