No Lockheed, Boeing, Sukhoi, MiG, Dassault etc are not making their aircrafts from scratch, but from technology they have gained by designing AC over decades.For ex. F-22 raptor stealth technology was gained through F-117 Nighthawk ,which is designed for stealth only and is incapable in a dog fight, and thrust vectoring through X-31 Vector.So the technologies were developed over time for different needs and in the end they have to make a balance of these in a single Aircraft.On the other hand LCA was to be designed from scratch as the only other aircraft developed indigenously by India is 2nd generation marut.And that too with restriction imposed after nuclear test.All in all ADA has done a commendable job in designing an aircraft from scratch even if it has some foreign components.As far as engine is concerned China even while developing AC from such a long time is unable to design a new engine on it's own so Kaveri delay is understandable.
Oh well i dont have to remind myself that i am talking to a indian here. just why do you guys come up with such lame uneducated posts? dont confuse defence.pk with Bharatraksak.
F-22 and F-117 have no similarities at all other then the fact that they both are stealth AC. The Stealth concept are totally different, they dont share any flying characteristics, even the basics are no where close to similarities!
And what in the name of god have you come up with F-22 Thrust vector is a development of X-31!!!! just think a bit more and put some more thinking power in your peanut size brain that X-31 has totally different Thrust control then F-22. X-31 has more like a 3D control Pitch and yaw while F-22 has only pitch control! heck even the thrust concept are different! As for India designing LCA, thats as true as flying Santa in Christmas...
