Screw that!! FY-23 diamond wings all the way man!!
We already have 2 design houses, ADA and HAL, we just don't use them properly.Lets divide ADA in two and have two competing designs
To negotiate on licence production, ToT or joint development, because Turkey and S. Korea might get away with that deals and all we can hope for, is to order the engines they develop too.
but requirement may not be same ....that might led into different engine development
how so?....... TFX KFX will be closer to 10 tonne............where AMCA will be closer to ~14 tonne ............for former case a lower thrust engine will be needed compared to in case of AMCA more higher thrust will be needed........don't you thinkBy the fact that they all have similar size, weight and twin engine config, they all consider the same engines current EJ200 or uprated EJ230, current GE414 or uprated EPE.

do you know the weight of TFX that will make thing clear...........Depends on the performance you want, the KFX might be ok with the normal GE 414, since they seems to aim on carrying only A2A loads internally, not to mention that the EPE will offer downsides in cost terms. The TFX however will be pretty much in the size of AMCA (???)and surely aim on more performance than the F35 offers.
Why send to US for wind tunnel test?
do you know the weight of TFX that will make thing clear...........
but its wrong think that we not be going for performance
and as you said it will lead into bad position for AMCA..........but i think ADA can still get into JV GE for engine
because TAI still not declared their choice
this is very important point you have said ........but i think EPE will going to be taken .....courtesy F414=> and their investment and infraBecause DRDO doesn't learn from mistakes and keeps making developments dependent on the US with the risk of denied support.
ada will come with heavier medium combat fighter ,,like F18SH... i think...actually they shouldNo I think they are still in concept stage, but decided for the twin engine varient now. And what DRDO thinks is always not really important. They wanted to develop it as a strike fighter to make it look comparable to F35 with low performance, but IAF requires multi role fighter with advanced performance like Supercruise and now even TVC is considered. All that and the weight of the fighter will make high thrust inevitable, but what comes out of it at the end is a different issue.
yeah that true........i don't know what is the use of RFI........directly negotiate like others are doing ...negotiating takes lot of timeThey will be able to fund the EPE engine, but only as long as Korea doesn't do it. That's the point, if they go for the EPE first, they will supply export customers and Boeing is trying hard to combine the Korean project with F18SH upgrades.
i think ADA should take help from boeing for design and GE for engineThe latest news is, that they signed MoUs with Eurojet for joint systems of the EJ 200 and that hints to a clear direction. Saab as a partner for the design, Eurojet as the engine provider, some parts from the US..., as I said, they get things done.
i know it will be depending americans but when you have already buying engine wht not use the opportunity in fullest
What about Pratt & Whitney or Russian?Turkey is closing in on teaming up with Eurojet, to provide them with an engine for their coming stealth fighter, while GE is the most likely choice for South Korea for their KFX stealth fighter, which puts India even more in the bad position for AMCA. It will be funny if we reject Rafale and already cancelled the Kaveri engine, to be forced to take Snecmas offer to jointly develop the Kaveri K10 engine at the end, which might not even provide the necessary thrust.

I like the latest iteration.
The angle of the canted vertical stabilizers. The fuselage and wing form. Unfortunately we cannot see the inlets from the front to fully appreciate the unique shape.
The Americans bring with them unique opportunities. At this point it is likely, not guaranteed, that GE will provide the engines, perhaps the EPE. There are certain "additions" which would add real value to the AMCA, think the EODAS and integrated Northrop ThNDR. We were willing to go through the lengthy process of integrating third party OEM equipment on an imported platform (MKI), we should be willing to do the same for our indigenous platform as well.
