AERO INDIA 2009: India unveils plans for LCA 'Mark 2'

[Dark Angel]

A must watch

Does it make any different if they appreciate or not??? let our people take there time, lets not be in a hurry, R&D takes time... its gonna be a competent fighter, sure to be the best in its class

Hope for the best brother.I am sure our little bird will dominate the sky.
But when Iaf will induct it 2011?

 

[Philosopher1]

India has no urgency in inducting LCA, we are on a learning curve. We are not competing for early induction. At-least the country is making efforts in creating something from the scrap. As a developing nation , i think India is doing very well placing itself with the elite club of fighter makers. And everybody except the ever denials knows it will one day come up with something world class.

Well, iam only saying is, let the LCA come out and then start comparing, and You are wrong, both are not of same class, JF-17 is 4th gen aircraft, and LCA is 4.5 gen aircraft...

Are you sure that LCA will be a 4.5 Jet

40 LCa tejas is In in the production line for Induction this Year buddy for the airforce, and 20 for the navy....

J 10 is up there on the 4.5gen scale, I'm not so sure about LCA. But its definitely 4+ gen.

The primary characteristics of 4.5 gen aircrafts are the application of advanced digital avionics and aerospace materials, modest signature reduction (primarily RF "stealth"), and highly integrated systems and weapons. These fighters have been designed to operate in a "network-centric" battlefield environment and are principally multirole aircraft. Key weapons technologies introduced include beyond-visual-range (BVR) AAMs; Global Positioning System (GPS)-guided weapons, solid-state phased-array radars; helmet-mounted sights; and improved secure, jamming-resistant datalinks. Thrust vectoring to further improve transient maneuvering capabilities have also been adopted by many 4.5th generation fighters, and uprated powerplants have enabled some designs to achieve a degree of "supercruise" ability. Stealth characteristics are focused primarily on frontal-aspect radar cross section (RCS) signature-reduction techniques including radar-absorbent materials (RAM), L-O coatings and limited shaping techniques.

Thus Making LCA tejas a 4.5 gen aircraft, Hope your doubts are clear, And LCA is still in evaluation stage only

How much gen china is considering about JF 17

And the LCa mark 2 will have modified varsion of existing airframe, and would be even more deadly, can hold super cruise even better than this version, the Air intake will be changed I guess, My cousin works for HAL

 

[below_freezing]

JF17 should be 4th by western standards. honestly i think the JF-17 is mostly a budget fighter without any specialties. maybe something like 1980's F-16s.

sure, I would... So just dont fall into any conclusion no matter how much the LCA is criticized, We know where it stands....
