DRDO's AESA EFFORT WITH LRDE FOR LCA and AEW
Power rating of 3.5-5 is quite less but since it is first attempt anything will be accepted.
Everything apart DRDO logo on image does looks nice
Production is already on as we speak - The First 40 aircrafts will be delivered to the IAF by the End of 2011 - The First 20 by the end of 2010.
The Mark 2 version will be developed on the sidelines of MK-1 production so as soon as the assembly line gets free the MK-2 production is started. Right now the right time frame for MK-2 production to start is by 2012.
As for Mark 2 - there are rumours that the Elta EM 2052 Aesa Radar will be used. The current MK1 engine is GE-F404 IN 20 which better than the one which powered the first prototypes. The next engines as we all know will be either the EJ-200 (with or without TVC) or the GE-414.
The Choice of the engine will depend on the MMRCA deal. If the SH is selected then GE-414 (or even the Gripen) and if Typhoon then the EJ-200.
what if RAFALE is chosen GURUJI....

why ppl is still counting the number of test flights of LCA if the mass production already started? Now it's April 2010 and are you really expecting IAF to receive 20 LCA by the end of 2010? and I read somewhere that the production capacity of LCA is capped at 8 per year? MK2 production start by 2012?
what if RAFALE is chosen GURUJI....
Yes Sir Ji, then i believe they already would have an answer for which one to chose and might be just sitting on it to see which aircraft is given the clearance!
But I think the Snecma M88 with higher thrust will be bigger for the LCA?
