One engine is enough...

But it is a delta canard meaning more drag

Defense development is evolutionary. In first attempt perfection can not be achieved. I am not saying LCA is perfect, But if given chance LCA MK-II, III or IV will match world class fighters...


IAF and defense Dalals are not agree with me. Hope You agree with me..


Delta wing has few drawbacks, but it has few advantage too.. One advantage is "Delta design is statically unstable" Unstable design is important for fighter aircrafts...

mate if it was me..............i would have given more importance to it than rafale deal

@S-DUCT what was the loading capacity of the hardpoints on the LCA again?

I believe that the 2nd hardpoint on each wing can carry somewhere between 600-800Kg?

Saw a query posted, would indeed be interesting to see whether multiple rack ejectors for Astra or another BVR missile can be used on the LCA?

Might have drag related complications though.

Akin to this-

Yes i think you're right about wing loading of 2nd hardpoint.LCA is draggy in its current stats(As per some TT),so it might well increase drag issue.
If the drag issue is solved then we might see multi-ejector racks in MK1/2 it'll A great a way to increase hardpoints but a bad way to increase drag and RCS.

RCS is not an issue for an aircraft which as it is not optimized for a LO/VLO role. Let us not forget that all 4th gen platforms carry significant quantities of stores and armament. The increase in specular returns will be inconsequential specially since the LCA is not meant for deep penetration strikes and infiltration of high concentration ADGE environment, it is more suited for base combat patrols, defense of airspace and shallow penetration multi-role ops in conjunction with more capable platforms providing cover and escort.

As such only the drag complications seem to be a limiting factor. The dearth of specific information on the the Mk.2 beyond engine and sensor changes along with the non-availability of combat radius figures for different loadouts and mission profiles (hi-lo-lo, hi-hi-hi) (we need information on both these parameters in a combined format to draw any conclusions) makes any such speculation very difficult. Lets see what happens but most definitely these are the kind of solution we need to look at since significant drag penalties are imposed even by larger PGM/LGBs like Sudharshan.

True, I am unfortunately exceedingly thin- not sticks but 6% bodyfat. Unfortunately I cannot seem to gain mass no matter how hard I try. One can always view mine visage on my profile here.

bhai main yaha cholestrol and triglycerides se joojh raha hoon and u cannot gain mass!!

lets exchange bodies

Umm..no! I am endowed with a real looker- I'll be keeping it.

Hopefully your travails will be mitigated.

i have started walking 8 km every day and stopped eating all the crap when i saw my reports

There is nothing to consider here. I would be doing a great disservice to my paramour @Armstrong by doing so. @Hyperion tell him of the great love of my life.
