Nice looks very good...Model Tejas Mk.2 At Aero India
So we'll finally, hopefully, know what it looks like, and how different (if at all) it will be. The DRDO's curtain-raiser statement for Aero India 2011 suggests that it will be displaying models of the air force and navy TEJAS Mk.2. There has been little clarity over the real design changes likely to be incorporated in the Mk.2, so to specifically mention the Mk.2 in its list of model displays suggests that there will be something to talk about. Will it have canard foreplanes? We do know that the aft fuselage will undergo changes to house the GE-F414 turbofan, but that's pretty much all we really know. Will update this post over the next few hours with more.
Hadn't thought of using the totally unofficial fan-art image above until now. It was sent to me by someone last year, but I've misplaced their details. So if you recognise your image, please let me know so I can credit you!

Tejas mark 1 has 3.25sqm RCS from where u got this info.??I am not so sure about the Canard , but it is not a distant possibility and could very well be integrated with LCA
As far as My Info about Tejas MK2 is concerned , it is expected to have the following changes compared to MK1
TEJAS MK1 MK2
EMPTY WEIGHT 5700 Kgs 6200 Kgs
PAYLOAD 4000 Kgs 4500 Kgs
FUEL LOAD 3000 Kgs 3600 Kgs
HARD POINTS 07 08
THRUST 85 Kn (GEF404) 98 Kn (GEF414)
RANGE 2000 Km 2200 Km
RADAR PESA AESA
Max Takeoff Weight 13500 Kgs 14500 Kgs
Top Speed 1.8 Mach 2.0 Mach
RCS 3.25Sqm 2.00Sqm
so wat is tejas MK1 RCS???Tejas mark 1 has 3.25sqm RCS from where u got this info.??
I would say that this has a rather un-canny resemblance to the Yugoslav Novi Avion.

But then again, today's European fighter aircraft have a uniform delta-wing-cum-canard configuration similarity.
nice shape ,
what about engine?
Dear, the engine is GE F414. A deal is already signed for around a 100 of them for MK2. And this has nothing to do with lifting of arm embargo. Tejas has been using a US engine (GE F404) since its first flight when India was under heavy US sanctions.
Dear, did I say wrong about American engine? F414 is American engine. Of course the lifting embargo would do a lot favour to India, scince Inida incapable of many areas to develop a modern 4th generation aircraft (3rd gen according to american standerd).
sensitive technology transfers from U.S would help India to upgrade its aviation industry in great deal.

No canard is there in MK2 design.
The canards and fused into the delta wing, making it a cranked delta.
