There is no way that bakistan is going to be a part of quad. Forget about US, china will have a field day with bakis the day they come out with the statement that they want to be a part of the quad. Doesnt "Quad" mean four? US-Australia-Japan-India? How is it Quad if Pakistan also joins, ...

I was looking at the videos made by #AKM on the LCA Manufacturing at HAL series, the ones that he released before Aero India 2021.

Why are we aiming low? Both twin engine and TEDBF by default will have more composite materials, so should be lighter than F-18. Wy does the TED_BF carry lower weight than F-18 super hornet? Is it because of the aerodynamics of Tailless Delta wing? F-18SH is launched by catapults and TEDBF will be ...

The IAF is sure to buy more Tejas Mk2 and also invest in ORCA eventually. In the Tejas Discussions between Shri Kota Ji, AM P. Rajkumar and AM Matheshwaran, it is clear that many new technologies need to be developed for AMCA. There is also the matter of operating costs. Based on what we know about...

This configuration has too much clutter around the canards and would be a big radar reflector from the sideways. Like the way they have removed a lot of clutter from the bottom, they should rework on the top and remove the clutter by moving the wings a little higher to be in line with the canards an...

After staring at these models, i now feel that the Stealth is from the forward look only. The multiple lines on TED-BF in the configuration might not be so stealthy when being viewed from a AWACS.

My gosh the TEDBF with canards and delta wing is stunning! Strangely no IRST and no probe seen on the model, which could mean AMCA style retractable probe. Wonder what the other configuration with trapezoidal wings and stabilators will look like..I doubt it'll be this beautiful though.. I think ADA...
