LCA TEJAS MK1 & MK1A: News and Discussion

[Bhurki]

3.5 ton weapons + 2.4 tonns fuels.

So the total payload is over and above ~5.9 tonns.

mtow is 13.5 tons.
ew is 6.5 tons.
Difference = 7 tons
So when carrying 100% fuel (2.5 tons) armament carried is 4.5 tons.
While 5.3 tons is total structural capacity of all hardpoints combined.
When 100% loadout is allowed, only 1.7 tons of fuel can be taken, and the exceptionally high wing loading will mean that the plane will fly like a 737.

What a bogus report - just finished watching - 35tonn capability landed on a/c carrier. Complete BS with super gaudy production and quality.

I never knew that most of the overseas components come from France. What exactly is French in that aircraft?

Hey, I asked this one once before... do you have any idea or can ask someone who knows, about what sort of effects the bulged canopy of navy/trainer versions has on performance compared to the Airforce Tejas?
