Very informative interview Prasad. One thing everyone is missing is first few prototypes of mk2 will be for baseline which can then be improved by induction of newer technology. This is to buy time for under development technologies like irst retractable probe etc and qualify the basic airframe sim...

@Indranil, do you think angled radome and chin from AMCA could make into TEDBF? PDR for AMCA is complete but it's still being worked on for TEDBF. If the DSI is same then wouldn't it make sense to reuse some other aspects too?

So something like this; 1) STOBAR with Ski Jump 2) COGAG propulsion (gas turbine) 3) 50,000 tons or max 55,000 tons 4) Wider lifts to accommodate any naval fighter out there.

Jokes aside, Goshawk replacement is an opportunity for Boeing to think long-term after it missed out on the two series production 5th Gen aircrafts. It has a lot to gain in US market too, from a triple partnership for LCA-LIFT, TEDBF, SH/Growlers.

Investment in tech and R&D carry subsidies and incentives in almost every country, so Foxconn will be loathe to lose those advantages in their two 'home' countries. If there's pressure from both US and Taiwan to move production out of China, then Foxconn will be better off doing so.
