Actualy, with one center tank, it is more limited to 10.5G than 9 (transient, not sustained manoeuver)
well in ops one is not sensed to go behind the limiter
. Even if it is possible no?

I think the Rafale's limiter is soft, so any pilot can override it using the HOTAS itself.
yes it is soft, but you must pass a mechanical stop. 10.5 is a hard limit, FCS xon't let you go further (plane was tested at 14/15, cant remember))
(Sorry for not staying on topic on the LCA thread
About my Rafale pilot friend about the 10.5G with centerline and mica, it was more like:
"I'm happy the rafale allows me to pull very tight evasive in a very wide flight domain even without dropping everything and stay able to fight at the limit with lots of fuel" kind of note

I'm not sure you care for a software limit if you end up with a missile rushing to your *censored*. I'd say one is not suposed to get hit by the missile more than not to go behind the limiter...

Hope they will finalize this design with Canards, Maybe we will see some confirmation in 2019 airshow.

Looking similar to Gripen - E. With this, IAF no longer needs 114 foreign jets.
That's the idea of MCA .
Hopefully added wing pylons are also included.
Wide fuselage, with landing gear alterations with extra pylons similar to Gripen also followed.
No, the 114 jet requirement is for twin engine jets.
The IAF has cancelled another requirement for 200 Gripen E class jets instead.
It's finalized.Hope they will finalize this design with Canards, Maybe we will see some confirmation in 2019 airshow.
Also if you see refueling probe is no longer fixed and visible. It's retractable.
Also if you can see air inlets have been moved forward.
basically proves that MK2 is fundamentally different plane and will be closer to the Gripen. This isn't a 'light' project anymore. Good evolution.
Good looking config.
LERX + close coupled canards is not totally new (with low authority "canards") : Viggen.
But with up to date FBW : may be powerfull.
just some details :
this is a full paper plane,
it remain a light plane (not as the actual Tejas, sure)
The range & payload will be ones of a light+ plane.
