Thanks. For the first time I have seen this.

Tsarkar, pilot climbing on the Tejas mk2 will not be a problem as it will be similar to mk1 as I estimated canard to be 1.5 m in length and total length to be 14.2 m there is still 70 cm gap for pilot to climb in . You can see that in videos of mk1 the stair is towards the front for the pilot to cli...

sankum

My wish is if the fuselage length is incresed by 1m than centre hardpoint must be able to carry 1330 litre EFT just like the innermost hardpoint on wing unlike 720 lt EFT carried on mk1. Two saddle CFT of 2000litre total capacity to free up wing hardpoints.

sankum

It seems same wing size and shape as that of mk1 and 1m additional length of fuselage.

Yes IAF is committed to 6sq MMRCA (110 nos) as it wants to end Su 30 mki at 272 nos and have reduced the Tejas mk2 numbers.

The Bangalore production line is shifting to LCH most probably and new ALH line has come up in Kanpur which will produce 40 nos IA +17nos IN +16nosCG=73nos While DAC cleared 45nos ALH in 2...

sankum

The production run will be greater than 324nos as IAF is committed to 18sq (360nos+)of which 123 nos Tejas mk1/mk1a (6nos) and 201 nos(10sq) Tejas mk2.
The difference of 2sq will most likely be additional 40 nos Tejas mk1a as IAF projected timeline for mk2 is 2027 instead of 2025 a delay of 2 yrs

sankum

The 10nos trainers of 83nos Tejas mk1a will be of common mk1 standard as the first 8nos trainers as per livefist report.
Extra trainer are ordered so that if mk2 is delayed 40 nos more single seater Tejas mk1a can be ordered to keep the production line running without restarting trainer line again.

sankum

All 18 nos Tejas trainers will be of mk1 standard and will take place after 32 nos single seater Tejas mk1 production and then 73 nos Tejas mk1a will take place.

The Tejas mk2 should be equipped with saddle conformal fuel tanks of minimum 1600 litres just like Rafale which can carry 2300 litres in CFT to free up hard points and utilize the increased external weapon payload capacity.

In case of old engine of ALH Category A performance( i.e, safe takeoff with one engine inoperative) was 5.3T MTOW and for more powerful Shakti engine it should be higher.

To get to 42 sq strength by 2030 168(8sq) LCA mk2 will be required apart from 44nos additional Rafales, 42nos additional Su30 mki. and 36 nos FGFA for no SE competition.

FGFA-2sq
Rafale- 4sq

According to above table LCA mk2 will have

The only logical choice with IAC 2 postponed indefinitely is naval AMCA to be on by 2030 with expected folded dimensions of 17.5m by 7.5m for compatibility with INS Vikramaditya and INS Vikrant.

It will be 4.3T panther versus 5.5T naval Dhruv in which Dhruv will be eliminated if MTOW is limited to 4.5T and if MTOW is limited to 3.5T then AW 109 and bell429 will be contender and maybe ka226 naval version.

It should have straight away gone to naval Dhruv.
