Looking forward to its first flight.

30000 t service ceiling with an endurance of 18+ hours. This surely will be a gamechanger for us.

say, any chance of HLFT-42 becoming Mig-21 replacement ?

so HLFT-42 becoming F-5 Tiger // F-20 Tigershark like alternative here to Mig-21 while Tejas Mk2, TEDBF//ORCA and AMCA etc taking up space of Mig-29, Mirage-200, Jaguar and Su-30MKI etc etc in future ?

Please don't be MQ9. . Or heron TP

Why civilian flights affected. Please don't be blue on blue

 

[NoobWannaLearn]

Any guess guys?

Better to wait without any expectations.

More like jaguar replacement as hal marut was strike aircraft
Lca mk1 is mig 21 replacement

Ya'll Nibbiars The Godrej will be the first private company the other HAL to make modules for Dry Kaveri Engine. Godrej have won all eight modules of the engine. Total Nos : 08.

How will hlft roll out before mk2?

It will not.. that's what I meant by timeline.

We have go ahead with MK2 no matter what. Although delta canards will always be superior platform for MWF compare to conventional wings. Especially with limited range of available power plants. Max we have is GE414 with 100kN.

maybe but Mig-21 was mass produce-able aircraft here, thoroughout its production here we made 800+ some of different variants and kept retiring previous ones and supplementing them with newer ones (also kept crashing-supplementing etc)
this HLFT-42 also seems similar in that regard that it can be mass produce-able thing, hence me think in previous post

Good observation...makes me wonder why not an all metal ,low cost mk2?...a design that will have guaranteed orders and much more refined than hlft42

Some people on twitter claimed that it's a license production of Israeli UCAVs, but this one looks more like a Indigenous UCAV based on the Technologies developed for Tapas

Increased weight
High down time.
Increased Radar and IR signature.

Is this the technology, the "Light Propulsion thruster" made by Tsa ?

 

[NoobWannaLearn]

Can anyone tell what is behind the missile some kind of tank?
