I've only read a few books and articles and trying to see if it makes sense wrt to Mk-II and performance characteristics of Mk-1. Things like engine nozzle size and length affect drag. And a few of things are being modified for Mk-II. So just wondering what could be the limiting factors for Mk-1.

Is small size of Tejas a limiting factor in it's aerodynamic performance? It still has not been cleared for 9G AFAIK. It also seems like canards can't be fitted unless length is increased due to lack of space for instruments required. A lot of design changes like the lengthening of fuselage and addi...

Brahmos is essentially a ship launched AshM which need to fly at low trajectories. I always wondered why even the ground launched versions did that 90 degrees turn instead of gaining altitude for maximum range. One reason could be the need to avoid radar detection, but extra range has its own advant...
