LCA AF Mk2 (Medium Weight Fighter) - News and discussions

It's complex, due to the fact that LERXs are fixed, maybe they can be left in but it duplicates the canards so I would tend to delete them anyway to have simpler control laws.

The greater the elimination of control surfaces, the simpler the control laws. But is there is a benefit if ADA manages to make the canard+LERX+wing arrangement work. I believe the same has been done on the J-20 too.

Cobham delayed Mk1 by 2 years...
Redux in Mk2?
I think Mk2 may fly with Amca prototype.

Hope to be proved wrong.
Waiting for any news.

If it's going to roll out soon, we should have heard some news right?
 
You've the most annoying habit of intervening when it's not required . You've done it plenty of times before too , in my case . If I've posted that tweet from the Professor , you think I wasn't aware of what Indranil has to say on the issue .

I wanted vstol Jockey to comment on what Prof Das wrote with an unbiased mind & not be influenced by what Indranil & the rest have to say on the matter .

If you want to learn , how are you going to figure out what exactly is the design all about , why was it chosen , is it optimum , etc ? It's thru articles & crtiques like this . That's how you learn, verify & cross verify . Unless you're completely well versed in the art of aerodynamics & fighter design . Are you ?
certainly this is just dogwhistle ,
not a technical reply from the 'so called" professor

he is incapabable of engaging in any useful technical discussion on Tejas,

To clarify I'm not in concurrence with the Professor but merely wish to enhance my knowledge on the design characteristics of the Tejas be it Mk-1 or Mk-2. Besides let's face it, at least he comes up with better points from a technical PoV than Sancho.

BTW - you ought to have added this reply to the tweet you posted here.

if you are looking for any technical details on Tejas mk1,

why listen to a professor , who cant answer simple questions like,

"how tejas(which he accuses as bungled draggy design) achieved the Su 30 MKi's sea level top speed in hot indian condition?"

" how "bungled" tejas does vertical loops in 19 seconds in bangalore airshows?"

I am an Engineering graduate too ,

I dont claim to be an aerodynamic expert,

but I have enough knowledge to know a pretender.



What ever may be the technical skills of Prof,

I am 100 percent sure that none of it is used in his writings on Tejas till date.

I had many interqctions with him on witter,

And I can vouch for that any day

I'm sure you've followed the conversation out here onwards from the post I've linked . Perhaps you could add your views on it including on the Professor's blog post

The folks at Vayu aerospace, who gave himspace in their magazine

to the "professor" fr his as usualzerofact based critique on Tejas mk2

Must be "deemed"to hv the level of "intelligence', "aerodynamic knowledge" , and "integrity" as our "esteemed" "professorPrody"

its comical of the professor to "relate" mig21,

when he fails to answer the question from my side,

"If tejas is over weigth, low fuel design " as our esteemed professor thinks it is ,

why Gripen C also has almost the same "overweight" "low fuel spec"?


 
with this "superior" knowledge why the "esteemed professor" is dumping on TejasMk2?

which man in his right mind will comapare "mig23ish imaginary plane " with Tejasmk2?

 
Now this delay will be used as a reason by dalals of import lobby. This is really shameful. Amid the problems with Su30MKI modernisation, MMRCA2 and Migs retirement, if Tejas MK2 is also in such a condition then it's better to simply dissolve the Airforce branch.

HAL and DRDO are still struggling with MK 1A

And we are in 2022 , whereas MK 1A was confirmed in 2016

What is the probability that if MK 2 funds are released , they would not be swindled or wasted

The delays in MK1A as it stands today is a few months. Not actually a issue at all.

And if funds are not released then HAL and ADA only has enough funds left for just 1 prototype. Without the promised funds for development at promised time, we are looking at 5 years delay in production of MK2, and subsequently 5 years delay in TEDBF and AMCA.

For Mk1A, they wasted 2 years in price negotiations.
LUH is not ordered when Helicopter were crashing down.
Lca Mk2 funds not released yet at prototype stage itself preventing its maturity.
This can lack of releasing funds can extend to years...

Getting depressed..
