Can you provide more details of part fabrication work so far ? I seem to have missed something. Thank you.
Look from 15:21 in the interview of Dr. Girish Deodhare sir in above posted video.
A naive question to experts...
Can't we make stealth missiles( shaping, ram coating etc) so that weapons on external hardpoints do not increase RCS?

Anything loaded externally won't be stealthy due to the presence of fins on missiles and the interconnection between the missile and aircraft. It can be low RCS though.
I think you can do that. Any missile with a stealth shape mostly flat surface not circular can have stealth characteristics, but with that shape there will be an issue with speed and maneuverability for BVR missile. you do have stealth cruise missiles JASSM
Your aircraft may be stealth and so can your missile, but you can't blend the missile into the body of the aircraft to make both stealth. The more complex the body is, the less stealth you get.
Agree, for everything, there should be a purpose that's why we have an internal weapons bay, and also nobody is going to create stealthy bombs
Yeas i think, may be in future. We need to design both aircraft & its external weapons together in such a way that combination of both will be stealth.
why not create a hardpoint with a modular groove design that will hold the missile and blend with the wing surface with an aerodynamic shape?

Yes, We should include this type of attachment to carry on wings of AMCA
But when the size of the missile will be changed after upgrade or when a new weapon will be required then it will have to go through structural changes.why not create a hardpoint with a modular groove design that will hold the missile and blend with the wing surface with an aerodynamic shape?

These should work as a modular attachment with different shape and size for a few AMCA fighter
It’s like developing aerodynamic tyres for Ford raptor. Feels good by laymen but stupid honestly. Raptor is certainly not going to get any faster by doing that
Govt to soon give nod for indigenous stealth fighters
The stealth fighter could be put into production in the next seven to eight years.
Somebody please tell why we are caping the number for mere 120 pieces?
It is a strike A/C. MWF and MKI willcontinue to be the mainstay.Govt to soon give nod for indigenous stealth fighters
