What exactly did you find "wrong" in my post? I said 20 million per plane which amounts to around 1billion. If you say it is 1.5 billion then its even costlier. Either way, far from the 1.5 million which I contradicted. India plans 1 billion euro Mirage upgrade - India - The Times of...

J-10 and Su-30 use the same engine. If India can update its engine so can China (and by transition pakistan if it ever gets the Russian engine). How are you assuming just India with its mighty invincible Su-30 will be upgrading the engine and not China? As for pakistan, they will most probably...

Asim is a senior member and I am sure he knows a thing or two of what he is talking about, if for nothing else then just experience. The arrogance in your post is not a good thing. You can very well debate without using arrogance especially against a senior member. I am sure Asim knows very...

An aircraft generation is more from a historical perspective as to when newer technologies were integrated into airplanes. There is no official ranking on what an aircraft generation is but its based on opinions (which vary from person to person). Mostly, when there is a significant change in...

Santro, There are lots of things that goes into designing a plane. Its not just a question of what is aerodynamically possible and what is not. Lots of shape can take off the ground but they aren't optimized for flying. There are various configurations - single tail, twin-tails, delta wings...

Luftwaffe, You and I do not know for sure exactly what technologies go into the F-22 but the writer of that article is the father of the F-16 and has contributed on many aircraft designs. Certainly, we cannot rubbish his arguments because he certainly knows much better than us. I don't...
