LCA TEJAS MK1 & MK1A: News and Discussion

[Bhurki]

So it must be 64 KN dry at least.

Thats just conjecture..
Gripen E weighs the same and uses the same engine.

Gripen E weighs the same, has the same canard delta design and uses the same engine.

Your 'maximum' range is all about altitude and flight path. Is it Lo - Lo - Lo , Hi - Hi - Lo or is it Hi - Lo - Hi.

Wrong! It is to preserve speed, thus using less fuel, thus increasing the range.

Dude drop it, that guy just googled "Jaguar range " & is now wasting bandwidth with whatever came up.

@Bhurki ^^ not the same. Gripen 414 can do super cruise at 1.2Mach no such feature for IN6 engine. Former seems to be more refined even if the thrust remains the same.

I sorry, what did I say that you're replying to?... about Tejas Mark1 aerodynamics?

 

[Shashwat]

^^ Wrong mention. I was pointing to @Bhurki.

I never said anything about speed..
Why're you quoting me on that.?
The guy was talking about it being 'impossible' that 17.5 t jet is powered by dry thrust of <60kN.

Mk2 will literally be a copy of GripenE, atleast in numbers..

Production of Tejas Fighter Planes

In addition to 40 Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas aircraft [20 in Initial Operation Clearance (IOC) and 20 in Final Operation Clearance (FOC) version with 16 fighters & 4 trainers in each], Government has planned to manufacture improved 83 LCA Mk-1A aircraft with enhanced capabilities for Indian Air Force (IAF). The production of 16 fighters in IOC has been completed in March, 2019 and the production of 16 fighters in FOC and 8 trainers has been undertaken by HAL. Several new features have been included in LCA Mk1A aircraft to enhance the combat capabilities in terms of avionics, radar, weapons, air to air refuelling etc.Flight testing of Tejas Mk1A fighter aircraft has been planned to be completed by 2022.

Someone who writes on Tejas sa

Bro I may know Tejas range with certain payload. With a config

I can't confirm it.
It was said by a person who writes on Tejas....and he says it was confirmed by Tejas pilot s.
I don't want to post. Coz I can't confirm you

Whats up with this complex ?
As if every bit of detail is some 'secret' stuff that people can't talk about..

Hell, even the US citizens don't act as stiff, and they are the ones who have birds the like of Raptors, sr71 etc.

Manu Pubby has confirmed that LCA contract will not be signed at DEFEXPO.

Manu Pubby has confirmed that LCA contract will not be signed at DEFEXPO.

Not surprised. What a humiliation again

Saw it on BRF too... But not a single other source confirmed it, not AK nor HVT.
I think it's a personal hunch or just something he pulled out of his Allah.

Tejas is doing flypast at Defexpo that would otherwise be solely reserve for Su-30. Don't lose your shit already, wait two more days.

 

[Shashwat]

^^ Major MOU signing is on 7th.
