There is No Need to mass Produce it as of now the HAL has only bagged orders for 40 IAF versions and 20 Navy Versions....according to DRDO Chief Many countries are approaching the LCA, If it is so then the HAL has the facility to Mass produce it....

ok lets say 40 are order for MKI means no mass production from MK1..a indian guy in orkut told me No mass production of LCA Mk1 will start and yes Mk2 will be produced in mass numbers,,

bt Mk2 is very far..as per indian officials Mk2 mass production will start by 2016..so till this time india only will have 40+20=60 LCA?

60 LCA till 2016-17

I can Provide u a Link if u want , There are 40 IAF LCA's On Order... And It need not be mass produced as The requirement are to be met by 4 years, and It needs to achieve FOC before it could be Ordered Further more with confidence, FOC not only makes the Buys Confident but also the Maker... If LCA achieves FOC then Yeah Believe its Going to be ordered Even Further....

Look at T/W ratio.
Is it 1.07 with GE engine?

Yest it is but the IAF wanted a thrust to weight ratio of more than 1 with payload.

Wow if they make it ... it will be one of the good capability from such a smallest fighter in the world.. IAF have always demanded best possibilities .. but the problem is they keep on changing now and then without thinking afront what they want 10 yrs from now.. which they have to learn from US counterparts
