TEDBF or ORCA Updates

[Bleh]

This is the second design right?

No, not revealed yet. This is same one from the video only.

You can see the canard in blue.

As far as area-ruling is concerned, TEDBF fuselage is superior to both MWF & AMCA!

Which means...?
For the benefit of us noobs..

Less drag at speeds above .75M... Easier acceleration, less energy loss at high-alpha, higher rate of climb etc.

Yep the mid fuselage has been made narrower compared to the point where the wings join the fuselage which has been bulked up thus giving the appearance of a CFT from front .

Either way, the internal voluke bulged up portion can be used in various ways.

Who knows, with twin F414 our TED's best friend may supercruise at Mach 1.2 with 4 aam .

It might supercruise... And it's fuel capacity too should be quite high compared to AMCA fuselage, due to lack of the internal bay. Looks quote a bit longer than Rafale & with twin-F414 will have significantly greater thrust (15kN dry & 40kN wet).

@Bleh It means there are two design teams competing with each other, with their designs.

Don't know. Could be, or could be they're developing two & will choose the one that better meats req after wind tunnel tests.
Have you send how মনে স্টুডেন্ট versions AMCA has had till now?.. 13!

Sir what about 13 hardpoint stuff i can ony count 11 ober there either some of front fuselage not depicted or what

 

[Marliii]

Most beautifull fighter I ever seen . but there is one more design any pics of that?

[Lonewolf]

This is the result when you leave amca with tejas in close room .
Beauty is born mates

Maybe that got ditched for technical reasons, maybe it'll be there in final version... or in the one in trapezoidal wings.

That was only a concept art, that too of ORCA.

 

[WarriorIndian]

Well, I feel sad for those who had been saying TEDBF is going to be a Rafale M copy. This is a lot too sexier than the Rafale.

 

[Tactical Doge]

Wait
I'll be back after 15 minutes
For no apparent reason

 

[Chandragupt Maurya]

It looks far better than Chinese J20 so called stealth aircraft which was detected on the radar of Su30MKI

Is dual missile pylon a possibility for TEDBF?

It can be mounted on anything... TEDBF might CAP in dual-racked BVRs, but given the limitation of takeoff load from sky jumps there won't be any need otherwise

 

[Johny_Baba]

Is there any information about the kind of multi-axis machines being used // will be used in production of AMCA ? like i was informed by a very well resourced friend that LM,Boeing and others who're in serious stealth business are using 9-axis cutters to shape those hexagonal panels used on F-22,F-35 etc.

IAF should work with HAL-ADA convert this into Airforce version for stop gap 4-5 squadrons.... This beauty along with Rafale will be awesome nightmare twins for neighbors and we can export to other countries as well. Also can this be used to take off in short run way land based airfields like Leh?

Air Force has its eyes fixed on Tejas MK 2 and AMCA, which is going to be ready by around the same time TEDBF joins the Navy. Also its easier to develop the Air Force version than the Naval version, so IAF can even fund the project at a later stage should the need arise.
