Tejas Mk2 MRCA’s R & D Effort Gathers Pace


The full-scale engineering development efforts of India’s Tejas Mk2 multi-role combat aircraft (MRCA) recently took a significant step forward when the Bangalore-based Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA), in consultation with the Indian Air Force (IAF), froze the MRCA’s design, which will now have a length of 14.2 metres (1-metre more than that of the Tejas Mk1 for incorporationg a stretched nose section and a modified fuselage section aft of the cockpit for housing an expanded complement of mission avionics LRUs), height of 4.6 metres (as opposed to 4.4 metres of the Tejas Mk1) to accommodate an enlarged vertical tail-section, and a wingspan of 8.2 metres—same as that of the Tejas Mk1—that, however, will feature an increased wing area. External stores capacity will be boosted to 5,000kg (as opposed to 3,500kg for the Tejas Mk1), while the twin internal air-intake ducts will be minimally enlarged to cater to the increased airflow requirements of the 98kN thrust F414-GE-INS6 turbofan built by GE Aero Engines

well, dont underestimate your fighter jet

ge 414 ins6 is rated for 120kn flatout thrust

 

[my name is arya]

well what we need in mk2 so that it will counter f16 block52, chinise plane

can any one explain we need in fututure plane

 

[shfgfa]

simple answer


1. an advanced AESA radar ( elta/elm 2052 is a good choice)
2. next genaration bvrams

The Wet thrust that you are talking about is for the EPE variant of the GE F414.

The Wet thrust that you are talking about is for the EPE variant of the GE F414.

as per wiki it higher thrust engine of gef414

F414-GE-INS6

* India’s Aeronautical Development Agency selected the F414-GE-INS6 engine to power the Mk II version of the HAL Tejas Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) for the Indian Air Force. The F414-GE-INS6 is the highest thrust F414 variant, and it includes a Full Authority Digital Electronic Control (FADEC) system.[21] It is a six stage turbofan and will be the highest thrust F414 variant at 98 kN. The engine is to be delivered by 2013.[22]

And better pilots. Just joking.....but we India needs better trainers....ASAP

VOO...small warrior.

Looks like it took off with half the run way with 2 missile and 2 fuel tank.. I guess it should be able to lift more using the full stretch

Now some spin

Isnt this a move for anti-spin test?...

sudhir,,,if you or someone else can post pics from the assembly section of the tejas ADA website........and you or some one can explain what exact process is photographed during that assembly tejas pic,,,,it would be gr8 gyaan sharing...
