Re: AMCA News and Discussions
Can you guys stop referencing Philip's posts. He is not to post on this thread due to his past antics and the more you respond to rubbish, more you will have spam on the thread.
Re: AMCA News and Discussions
I have deleted both mine and souravB's posts. Sorry Karan.
Re: AMCA News and Discussions
Rakesh to clarify..not referring to you or the other more serious posts, sorry about any confusion.. i meant all the stuff about fit and finish etc which was just unnecessary. And Philip as usual almost wrecked the thread with his rants. Don't want him to come and finish it off.

We needed a higher thrust engine for AMCA which is currently not available. So, while developing a higher thrust engine, in the meantime we are going ahead with the existing engine that is used for Mark-2 which is the GE414. The design project has already been sanctioned. In about 7 years, we are planning to complete AMCA with GE414 right up to certification. This includes the stealth part too. We are aiming at four prototypes. Subsequently, this will be up-scaled with the new higher thrust engine.
Re: Tejas Mk2 Medium Weight Fighter: News & Discussion - 23 February 2019
Yeah, I saw the latest models of the AMCA and saw actuators under the wing. Damn.
So when looking at this drawing of the AMCA:
1. In the top view, at the wing's trailing edge corner, that is not an actuator for the flaps between the fuselage and wing flaps?
2. In the front view, no actuators visible at all. They show the smallest notches on the tail but not the actuators on the wing seems odd.
So, are the AI 2019 models accurate or this engineering drawing that were released a while ago? Who knows...
Sorry Mods, I know off topic - will carry on in the AMCA thread.

Re: AMCA News and Discussions
Notes Uttam has 150km range for 2sq mtr RCS. Hence, around 130km for 1 Sq Mtr, and 190 km for 5 sq mtr. Its a fairly decent radar and if LRDE introduces LPI modes, it can be very potent in the A2A arena.
We really need to have them upscale it for the Su-30. I wonder why the IAF has not already asked them to do so, time is of the essence.

Re: AMCA News and Discussions
Karan, that 150 km detection range for a 2 sqm RCS target is with 750 TRMs, right? Any idea if that is for the Tejas Mk2 sized radome or for the AMCA?

Re: AMCA News and Discussions
SJha just tweeted an interesting development about the AMCA
Re: AMCA News and Discussions
Rolls-Royce pulls out of Turkish Fighter TF-X programme. BAE systems is still engaged and will be involved in production of TF-X. BAE might not be a good choice for vetting AMCA design given the fact that Turkey is pretty close to Pakistan.

Re: AMCA News and Discussions
Sometime back there was an image from aerodynamic studies for AMCA and what appeared to be divertless supersonic intakes. Looks like the AMCA designers are trying out all options before fsed kicks in.

Re: AMCA News and Discussions
Looks very F-22 ish
I wonder why they still use a Big VS instead use a smaller all moving one like PAK-FA or J-20

Re: AMCA News and Discussions
quoting key things from the above article
On the AMCA (Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft), Dr Reddy said technologies like pilot associate, advanced avionics, body conrming-shared aperture, serrated doors, IR paints and high-temperature radar absorbing paints for nozzles are being launched in India
Super cruise abilities to y at supersonic speeds minus the afterburner, passive sensors, internal weapon bay, advanced integrated avionics, next-gen AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radar, 360 degree enhanced situation awareness, IVHM (Integrated Vehicle Monitoring System), serpentine air intake, IRST (Infra Red Search and Track), MAWS (Missile Approach Warning System) and Diverterless Supersonic Intake (DSI) are among the new technologies that would get embedded on to AMCA.
whats happening on it, we have been hearing it for quite some time..He said on the Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV) front India will use the derivative of Kaveri engine.
“We have begun the R&D of 50 kW DEW, including ship motion compensation. The laser propagation studies for long range (10 km) is on, including lethality study for various target materials. The bigger goal of development of a 100 kW system in future also has taken wing,”

Interesting views on Stealth / J20 / AMCA
As per the discussion the maintenance cost of stelth aircraft is very high;
If PAF gets the J20's from China the maintenance cost will kill them
Re: AMCA News and Discussions
You're joking right? There is no way the PAF is going to get the J-20 from China anytime in the next decade or even beyond that. They are broke and cannot afford it and even if they could, I doubt China would export the J-20. And yes, first gen. stealth effort is going to be a learning curve for China..It will take multiple iterations over decades though naturally it would be a shorter learning curve compared to US where it was a pioneering effort. Biggest myth floating around on Chinese projects is that stealth, advanced electronics, and high T2W ratio propulsion comes without a learning curve..In reality it is a multi-decade effort to develop, master and refine the capability from a technological perspective and then a similar learning curve on the operational concept and system employment perspective. There is no substitute for hard engineering, development, testing, rate production, and incorporating feedback from years and decades of use back to improve the product.VinodTK wrote:If PAF gets the J20's from China the maintenance cost will kill them
Re: AMCA News and Discussions
Well said Brar about the learning curve. Fully agree.

So much blah blah in that video.
Re: AMCA News and Discussions
First flight was supposed to be before 2030.
Re: AMCA News and Discussions
If someone can get me an official source of the first flight date, I will start a new thread along the lines of the Tejas threads.
