A graph from a lecture Dr. Kota Harinarayana gave for the aircraft design course with the STR of the Tejas compared with some other fighters . Don't know if this was the ASQR requirement or the achieved number .

Interesting thread. Do read it.

IAF to sign contract this fiscal to procure 83 LCAs

NEW DELHI,November 10, 2019 22:33 IST
Fifth-generation AMCA expected to make first flight in 2032
The Light Combat Aircraft Tejas (LCA) Mark-1A and Mark-2 and 114 new fighter jets to be procured will be the mainstay of the Indian Air Force (IAF) in the next decade as other jets are phased out, and before the indigenous fifth-generation Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) is ready, IAF sources said.
The IAF is looking at speeding up the production of the LCA by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).
“We are taking delivery of the last four aircraft in the Initial Operational Configuration (IOC). We are expecting to receive 5-6 LCAs in the Final Operational Configuration (FOC) by March this financial year,” a senior IAF source said. “The contract for 83 LCA Mark-1A will be signed this financial year.” the source added.
The AMCA, being designed and developed by the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) with the IAF’s support, is expected to make the first flight in 2032.

I thought the first flight of the AMCA was scheduled in 2025-26 or 2026-27 as announced by ADA earlier this year. Within a matter of months it's already slipped by 6 years.
So first flight in 2032. When will be IOC , FOC , Negotiations , Babus taking bribes to move files , Signing , some strikes by HAL , ADA employees , Governments changing , just before mass production IAF clarifying new demands and requirements. Back to square one

The Light Combat Aircraft Tejas (LCA) Mark-1A and Mark-2 and 114 new fighter jets to be procured will be the mainstay of the Indian Air Force (IAF) in the next decade, as other jets are phased out, and before the indigenous fifth-generation Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) is ready, IAF sources said.
The IAF is looking at speeding up the development and production of the LCA by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).
“We are taking delivery of the last four aircraft in the Initial Operational Configuration (IOC). We are expecting to receive 5-6 LCAs in the Final Operational Configuration (FOC) by March this financial year,” a senior IAF source said. “The contract for 83 LCA Mark-1A will be signed this financial year.”
With the FOC variant being inducted, the second LCA squadron is likely to be formed in the next financial year, By then, the first squadron, now based at Sulur in Tamil Nadu, will shift from there. “All LCA squadrons will initially come up at Sulur for stabilisation and then move out,” the source said.
HAL sources confirmed that an IAF team was now at their facility for the delivery process. “Two aircraft will go in the next few days. Two more thereafter,” a source said.
The source said the production of the FOC variant had started and there were some issues, including in the software, that needed to be stabilised. “At least four FOC aircraft will be delivered by March,” the source added.
The HAL is setting up another assembly line in collaboration with the private industry to increase the production of the LCA from the current eight to 16. The IAF is also keen on speeding up the development of the LCA Mark-2 and the AMCA, which are crucial to maintaining its fighter strength. The LCA Mark-2 should come out in 2022-23, and the IAF is planning to induct them in large numbers.
“The LCA Mark-2 is very important. It is a go between the LCA Mark-1A and the AMCA, which is our indigenous Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA),” the IAF source said.
The AMCA, being designed and developed by the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) with the IAF’s support, will initially be powered by two GE-414 engines. It is expected to make the first flight in 2032. “The IAF is not interested in importing the FGFA, we should get one good FGFA on our own,” the source said, a point recently made by IAF chief Air Chief Marshal R.K.S. Bhadauria. “We cannot depend on imports. They are too costly,” the source added.

Sources confirm that #Naval #LCA trials will be conducted on the #Vikramaditya before Dec 31 this year.
Seriously anybody expecting to see LCA in Malaysian AF colors is being too optimistic other than the journos who have their own personal reason to show optimism.
Given the douche bag PM of Malaysia shit show
Plus it will be a big security risk given the strong relation between Malaysia and por.......

Malaysia will not order Tejas. We have just reduced pal oil exports. You think they will by Tejas? They are officially Pakistan's ally.THey might buy JF 17 to f**k with us.
*palm* oil exports
will *buy* Tejas?
*They* might
And then fly it with the left over palm oil we didn't buy from them.
huehuehuehue
Lot of things u have told us about in LSA, we are hearing around in many project s.
Full scope AMCA TD s, not sure what that means but seems similar to your idea , speeding up development.
Additional control surface for Naval LCA,
Twin engine for naval variant,
* Suddenly some stealth variant but not AMCA.. *
LCA and AMCA are doomed. I maintain my word even today. LCA was a TD, it needed to evolve into a fighter which it never did. We tried to make a fighter out of a TD. Same fate awaits AMCA. It is a pathetic design with lowest internal bay weapon bay storage.
For a fanboy like me, even the successful development of a sub optimal products are big boost..
Unfortunately we been made to wait for eternity.. .
