Another, purely hypothetical option, is to increase the BPR without impacting the core mass-flow - which means catering for additional mass-flow at the Fan face itself but that would mean inlet design/dia etc change. Do note, in the F404 to F414 "evolution" GE did just that. (F414 fan is ...

Yes, but we dont operate AIM 120D. We were outranged by it during the Balakot conflict. Astra-Mk1 will match it and Mk2 will exceed it Nit pick..... The PAF has AIM-120C-5 which outranged out R77s.

It is the acknowledgement by IAF of the fact that the Mk1A is a very much capable aircraft for the point defense role and perform some Air to Ground role. This is a testament to 2 things. 1. I think the reliability and availability of MK1 has been a revelation to IAF. Even though this was clear as ...

We oft forget that the LCA is supposed to replace the MiG-21. Does it do a better job than the Bison currently?. May be that is not enough for the future, but with us owning the entire plane upto to its nuts and bolts; it means that everything on the plane is updateable. If someone refers to the Tej...

SidSom

I firmly believe (FWIW the opinions of some mango man count) that we should constantly develop the LCA further. More fuel, more aero changes, own the platform and make a few 100 of the type to bulk up the fleet with an Indian fighter we can constantly improve. If the IAF has a few hundred of a figh...

And if IAF is insisting that only ASTE folks will be working on LCA from now on, that is hardly a case of complaining. On the contrary, it is exactly what people on here have been complaining.

Shiv the problem of determining the angle of attack from that picture is that we need to have the profile of the plane to determine the actual long axis chord of the aerfoil and the flow direction (relative wind). So when angulated you will have an error due to parallax. So since the plane has been...

SidSom

Oh Wow... Am I really going to attempt this... (Please be kind, I am no expert on this). The vector defining the air flow direction is simple to define from the foto. But the zero angle of attack line/wing chord line itself is not simple to define. This many times is not parallel to the wing as the ...
