LCA Tejas - Specifications: Powerplant The Engines Performance mentioned here is wrong? as far as I know its 19000 lb.

Can anyone please tell me why we are still using liquid propulsion even though we have mastered solid propulsion? I was under the impression that Shourya will be replacing this old system ( Is that correct?) Thanks in Advance...

The Problem is not IAF is not taking indigenous products, we currently do not have a product to induct! the first 40 fighters are only for training/acclimatization and they will not see combat duty due to thrust issues. IAF needs MK2 for combat duty which is still at drawing board. so we cannot...

I Do not know whether this is posted or not... saw this in BR. pretty interesting... The Tejas Arrives…… | TKS' Tales My mind dwelt on the time of the later part of 1982. I had then settled down as the Air Officer Commanding (AOC) at Jamnagar, having moved there after a very exciting...

Hi Halloweene, My query is --> 1. Is the Indian Gov negotiating for 126 fighters or are we going for add-on 66 fighters in the initial order? 2. How is the pricing going to change with additional numbers? (If any) 3. What is the total price of this deal ( rough number like 10 billion Euros...

My thought was PakFA had too many public appearances/demo flights in airshows than what was needed. I mean F22/F35 did not have this kind of display...

My thought was it offers similarity with Arjun which seems to be much better than T-90 wrto perf. and also we can save soome foriegn exchange. Is this not true?

WTF.. What happened to Tank Ex, I thought this will be the logical next step. Tank EX - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Can anyone please help me understand why this is not getting done.

Does it mean it Fired Derby? Kinda confused as there seems to be some problem with Radome and last heard was BVR will be tested only after Radome issue is fixed.

Livefist: Launch Of India's 1st Indigenous Aircraft Carrier On Aug 12 According to above report both are same. And also Barak 8 is available for integration as per below news PressTV - Israeli regime equips warships with Barak 8 missiles Am I missing something.

Thanks for the Reply Well if the life lost is say 10 % then may be OK. provided the end user is happy. Current News/reports says that MK1 is not going to be used in Combat.

Also the Max (Wet) Thrust is given as 89.854 for IN20 engine. source Turbofan and turbojet engines: database handbook - Élodie Roux - Google Books

I Have a query. The thrust of the current engine 404 is not enough for the IAF and I do believe that there will be a wartime setting ( extra thrust) for 404. Isn't it possible to use this setting for initial order so that with extra thrust IAF would feel better? I know that engine life will get...

I think only way the situation will improve is to have healthy competition for each and every task like upgradation of migs/mirage/ MMRCA IJT or scorpene. There needs to be a composite and pragmatic long term roadmap from Saint/MOD with clarity of policies for private sector to invest. The...

Gentleman from IDF ( Picdelamirand-oil ) Posted this... It will be the most advanced mirage 2000 ever developed even more advanced than the UAE Mirage 2000-9. 1) India will have the ICMS mk4 EW suite even more advanced than the UAE and the greek and which was already regarded as very...

Looks interesting... First they asked for extension to Nov 2013 and now they are confident that they can complete by Sep 13. If ADA had followed this approach earlier then LCA would have been in Service.

Thanks... Weight mentioned seems to be closer to what Ajay shukla mentioned earlier. The LCA’s designers say that the removal of telemetry instrumentation, which is essential during flight testing, will bring the Tejas’ weight down by as much as 300-400 kilos. Re-engineering some of...
