Mirage had indeed influenced a lot of design for Tejas (LCA), and its variants. I am seeing a similar influence of inlet design for Indian MWF-4 (Mirage 4000ish) from Rafale. Something unique about Rafale, and it is near stealth with frontal RCS. AMCA designs will look at it with deep respect. https...

SaiK

OT, but functionally relevant on Sandeep Unnithan's article above^^^.

Converting MKI to Super 30 will not avoid an AMRAAM, but focusing on purely stealth skins, towed decoys and reducing RCS will. It applies to Tejas/AMCA too.

Astra suffered from several technical glitches like a defective aerodynamic configuration since the missile project was first sanctioned in March 2004 at an initial cost of Rs 955 crore.

can someone list what were these?

Is it going from 5 engines to 2 engines or from 4 engines to 2 engines for fine-braking?

q: why shut off 2 or three engines? why can't just adjust the throttle of all 5 firing !? [I read all 5 of them are throttleable - of course the minimum thrust to weight must have been known already.]

wouldn't then be cheaper to have all air cushioned landing inside a big inflated ball [it ain't going up for sure] - say co2 or o2 is good enough for cushioning some spring loaded soft-joints to the the balloon periphery. it would also take care of any accidental tumbling etc (mechanicals). I guess,...

SaiK

math guru, perhaps we need to inflate it with something lighter than what is in moon's atmo.

SaiK

we can't use parachutes on moon, but we could use throw-away cushions. just thinking ahead on safety devices for the next landing.

STBF can afford to test with 2, and it helps our pilots to train better as well. more precision perhaps..[ps: if it fails to hit two, then be prepared for take-off!]
