I wonder if Data Pattern also participated in bidding.

AMCA's AAAU is similar in size to that of F-35 and J-35's aperture. Smaller than F-22 and J-20's aperture.

They have tons of experience in this field now, so it was more or less a given that they would get the contract for developing the AAAU unit for the AMCA.

Basic CAD model outline of AMCA is ready.
Solid & rendered views in green primer, stealthy tinted canopy.
Cockpit is empty, needs time to model small area with right measurements.
Full surface features remaining, will model 1 by 1.
Started with F-22 model but AMCA got ahead so far.
Fortunately my old laptop didn't crash or hang bcoz Blender's old versions also work sufficiently well for discussion purpose. No GPU needed, just 100-150 MB RAM with Core-2 Duo CPU.
I'll be tweaking this basic CAD as per my comprehension, but i wanted 1st to make a model closest to used in official infographics, so that we can discuss what improvements can be made with minimum modifications, like FOC & MLU.

Initial outline of notional cockpit.
1 piece canopy w/o arc.
HMDS instead of HUD.
60 x 24 cms TV, i mean MFD.
From F-22 to F-35, we notice many hard switches, buttons, dials, knobs have been offloaded to MFD & HMDS.

This Reliance and Rolls Royce partnership is really weird ,to say the least

RIL has no experience in this field or rather in any HI Tech
Manufacturing

I just hope they don't make mistake what Mahindra did and simply allow Rolls Royce to completely design it. The Reliance just have to sit and fund.

So world biggest annual mujra organizer going to screw drive jet engines now. Roll-Royce going with Reliance is a good move though, since all the money made would be invested back in London property market. Win-Win for both mujra family & UK

RWR is a device that carries such types of arrays. Such arrays are a part of anything that transmits and receives EM signals.

could u suggest some sites or article to know more abt this
interferometer antenna ( afik FA18 Sh b3 , typhoons , rafales have it ) and F35 ofc
and does it have level to it ??? like diff anttenas types or digital arcitecture ??

 

[Choice_of _inevitability]

When it comes to fighter jets, as of now only Rafale has this capability operational and combat tested. The F-35 is still getting there.

Yeah and why did they move RWR antennas that were all bunched together on the tail of MK1 to wingtips of each wing in Mk1A if not to run interferometry and TDOA?

+You'll need accurate direction if you are going to cue the EW with internal "RWR". It's no longer just an "RWR" but rather an ESM system.

Does anyone knows new GaN TRM peak power?

Different static models & CADs have shown minor differences in fuselage shaping & features.
I wonder which forward & mid fuselage blending contour style is best balance b/w aerodynamics, stealth, needed space.
This will affect components like S-duct, fuel tanks, sensors, etc.
I guess i'll have to make the S-Duct 1st & see if it gets out of any contour boundary.
Then decide the contour, then place the surface sensors & features.
