LCA TEJAS PROJECT FUNDING DETAILS REVEALED

[Trisonics]

Performance was mind blowing and LCA even it has its limitiation as per IOC to 6G ,but unofficially it pulled smoothly 6.9G like a knife on butter.....check out a trailer here,just

ENJOY

Firstly, if it was limited by 6g by software I don't see how it pulled a 6.9!

The loops that we see in air shows are basic in the sense that most aircraft can do it.. Its only fan boys that sit and stare at it to compare if a JF-17 did better or the LCA did better!

let's not get there! The LCA as a project is super important to India not because the final product is a game changer when compared to other aircraft but a game changer as far as indigenous technology is concerned. Its not LCA but what we learned from it that is going to benefit us in the long run.

can anyone tell me what are g forces ,(what is pulling of 6.9g)

what +9g and _3g means?
and does it happens during turning, falling or vertical climb?

Vietnamese migs cost half as much as america f4s. We all know the havoc they created.

and you should also know the reason...the missing guns...

thnks for the link man....felt great to see this nimble aircraft in th sky
the confidence it inspires is simple awesome. gr8 show lil birdie!!!

And not to mention the reliance of USAF on missiles and lack of dog-fighting training following Korean War.

It happens in all of them. Under any sort of acceleration. But what we usually refer to it in is the turning. When the airplane comes out of a steep dive(for example) the pilot pulls up. On account of the centrifugal force the pilot experiences downward acceleration-pushing him towards his seat-. In the pilots reference frame e is experiencing an 'outside force' much like gravity pushing him downwards. If this force is 5 times that of gravity, we say he has pulled '5G'.
So, under 5G a 100kg pilot will experience his weight to be 500kg. These forces put a lot of strain on both the airframe and the pilot. Most airplanes can't withstand more than 10-12G for a duration longer than a few seconds. A pilot would most cerainly black out (ie: the blood vessels leading up to his brain and in his eyes, nose etc. would burst) under 9-10 G for more than a few seconds.

If he was pitching down, the centrifugal force would push him upwards out of his seat. This would be the negative G force. Most planes cannot tolerate too much negative G and neither is it efficient. (This is why pilots invert and pull up to perform a 'u turn')

Hope this brief post explains it
