HAL Tejas | Updates, News & Discussions

[kashith]

No offence but I literally laughed the moment I look from this angle. Its looking more of a tea-tray or tawa. But Congratulations India.. I hope you replace your aging Mig-21s with this one.

Tea Tray How?

Somehow Paksitanis believe their JF-17 is shamsheere suleimani,
LCA has better T/W ratio, better wing loading ..and mig 29 's business is being threatened because it is dirt cheap to have a JF-17 , now what do you think would be better for a country which has low resources, spend money on Mig-29 which can give fight to F-16 or Jf-17 which will be mostly used in ground attack or against other poor armies with pathetic air force.

and we have been listening about Mk-2 and what not other versions of Jf-17 well, LCA has shown its naval version as well.so what about that?
Hasnt it shown enough versatility to be redesigned as a naval version?and very soon we will start producing the Mk2 version of Tejas too...

Well for the scenario that you have just put, I would rather buy an LCA. Mig-29 and JFT are out of discussion for sure.

None taken!

What is looking like a tea-tray or a tawa to you is actually called a delta shaped wing (tailless delta in this case) by those literate in the aviation terms. This configuration is used by a lot of fighters in the world. Following are the examples.

Dassault Mirage III
Dassault Mirage IV
Dassault Mirage 2000

Chengdu J-7
Chengdu J-9
Chengdu J-10

So, there is a tawa in the PAF too!

P.S. Please google "compound cranked delta" to get some astonishing info on this "tea-tray"!

man our LCA sucks in look and shape despite being composite...
we need major redesign to have a cool stealth shape in mk 2
anyway i am very happy now we a aircraft in a config airforce is going to use
from now on IAF is going to feel the machine...

No, LCA looks cool and the best looking aircraft currently IAF have. What sucks is your knowledge about LCA learn something more about LCA's design and features before commenting.

i ve been following up LCA about 10 years now since 2001...though i am not expert in LCA, i am always interested in our LCA...
i dream about it..
in fact i regret always, not being in aeronautical engineering..
i just wanted LCA to look better...( thats my honest opinion)
anyway my expectations will always be high...and also i know shape dont matter in war as long as it wins

But your previous view doesn't support that. If someone call a nice looking thing 'sucks' that it is not anything bad about the thing but problem is about the knowledge.

i already told am not an expert...
now i ll even agree that i lack knowledge...
but still i can express what i feel, right ?

You can call for redesigning Tejas just to make it 'cool' because it 'looks' really 'sucks' so I can also express my view against what I feel not correct, rite?

i m not concern about its look..
its our believe how its look

but more about a indigenous radar and engine.
coz it will also help our future projects

yeah thats true ....
engine and radar are not indigenous yet, even the mk 1
design has gone to mk 2
