What were you guys expecting?

AFAIK the ACM said the difference will only be in internal structure/wiring, plus the aircraft will 1 meter longer

Mr Nayak said that the LCA was “jampacked with avionics, pipelines and wiring” but the Mark II would be a bigger aircraft by a metre, with room to “reallocate” systems. “It will have a fresh internal design with more wiring, bus and whatever although it would be a replica of its predecessor in looks.”

We arent exactly waiting for a 1 metre long news..

A canard, rectangular intakes, changes in frontal nose were all expected , at least by me..

Ok good now.. what the good news is its 1 more meter long and has got more wires.. well and fine..

NO AESA(MMR)

I think it might be because of Israel's decision not to sell aesa to India.

I metre longer to house the new bigger F414 engine and to carry more fuel or more weapons.

Those advocating TVC or Canards or CFT are proposing too many changes. IAF is using TEJAS as a stepping stone only to more advanced AMCA which is where we may see more of the features people are dfemanding.

Thats why i said there are no major changes except engine( which we already know for sometime) and a retractable fuel probe.

TVC is not mandatory but the other changes are well expected for a fighter jet that is the newest in the block of its catagory.. If they cant do much after all these years on mark2, i dont expect much from AMCA either.

We need to wait till 2014 to see these significant yet insignificant changes to Tejas????!!!

why we need anything new ?? Why we need Canards ?if am not wrong LCA MK2 is based on naval LCA with with levcons ?? AESA will be present in LCA MK2 if it completed on time till then HAL PLAYS NO SPECULATION ,they presented a simple ,foot on the earth with no hi fundos stuff.. Am damn happy for it..
