A slightly bigger plane by 1 metre with new engines even more reduced weight will appear in 2027

PROTOTYPE due to fly in 24 months time

There seems to be a BUBBLE canopy in mark 2

HAL needs to resolve their production problems before Tejas Mk II is viable.

HAL needs to resolve their production problems before Tejas Mk II is viable.

You should note that the delay is due to HAL not making Tejas.

Production isn't a problem.

Canard or Lavcon looking at the above pics its more like LAVCON similar to Su-57 rather than a CANARD surfaces @SuvarnaTeja @randomradio

I do not think the pictures are correct. LCA MK2 is expected to have canards. Confirmed.

 

[Skull and Bones]

HAL needs to resolve their production problems before Tejas Mk II is viable.

Agreed, production of Tejas should be privatized.

 

[SuvarnaTeja]

Agreed, production of Tejas should be privatized.

All major Tejas sub assemblies and components are being outsourced to private firms. The delay was due to supplier certification. HAL would act as final assembler only.
