Bro it's internal weapon carrying capacity is 2ton. Wing external hard point if fully loaded it can easily carry approx 8ton including internal+ externalRafale 9t,mki 8t,even LCA is having 4+t carrying capacity.

Black bird was used such hybrid engine,
Yes in internal weapons bay that would enough for DEAD and seadAMCA will have 8t payload, 2t is in the weapons bays.
Tnq u....,but external weapon configuration will kill the very purposes of amca ie enter enemy airspace being undetected.Bro it's internal weapon carrying capacity is 2ton. Wing external hard point if fully loaded it can easily carry approx 8ton including internal+ external
Even with the purposed GE engine it's not going to be a true fifth gen aircraft anyway. And that's one of the items by the way.Its better to throw this project down the dustbin if we are not vying for an Indian Power plant here.
Else I see this as Debacle LCA PART 2.

R & D is what required to achieve that capability.
Then AMCA will never be a reality,we can't make whole fifth gen aircraft alone.Before even thinking about AMCA it should be the subsystems which should be our focus.
An Indian AESA radar in service which can be improved in future to be used IN AMCA , Indian ECM systems , Indian Power plant , thought we can take Russian help to get thrust vectoring , Indian Infrared and RF based AAMs, light weight cruise missiles , next generation small diameter laser and GPS guided munitions ,aircraft cannon ,Indian refueling probe , Indian next generation Onboard Oxygen generating system ,Indian secure radio and satellite links ,Indian IRST , Indian Targeting pod ,Indian HMDS,Indian HOTAS, etc.
When we have all these, we will be able to design an Indian 5th gen aircraft which in true sense will have multi role capability and will be sanction proof.

I will prefer tejas like drama over ridiculous rafale like saga.That will be a better option then. Simply buy off the shelf , and buy the assembling rights and then carry on as we have been doing.

chances are high for GE141 EPE version in first batch of AMCA if india goes for advance super hornet instead of F16V or grippen E as the second MRCA under MIIY dont they put a GE 414 EPE in the mk 2...? It would make it future proof
