HAL Tejas | Updates, News & Discussions-[Thread 2]

ADA paid Dassault for help developing an improved Dassault Mirage 2000 back in the 1980’s, to replace the ageing Mig-21 fleet, the resulting Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) design became known as the HAL Tejas.

The design and sourcing of systems is/was all above board, as Dassault were paid, as are/were GE, Rafael, Sextant, Martin-Baker, Elbit, Cobham, …, HAL, so most technologies were properly licenced, so minimal plagiarism.

FYI: Flight International (24 Oct 1987) states Dassault-Breguet were contracted to supply 30 top flight engineers to ADA, for $100m ($218.5m in 2017). To aid in the initial design and system integration phases, with GE selected to supply F404-F2J3 engines for the prototypes.

Open your eyes, and get some knowledge.
What are you talking about? The Mirage 2000 and the Tejas have drastically different airframes. They maylook similar but thats were the similarities end! Dassault was a consolatory on the project. The projects airframe came from the same idea that spawned the Gripen! Are you saying Gripen is a mirage 2000 improved? There is evidence of this. Tejas comes from the same airframes and the same time Europe was conceiving the Typhoon, Rafale and Gripen.
 
Why would the engineers of tejas want to integrate a 100 year old tech when everyone wants to move into the future with stealth ?

And all stealth fighters will have their cannon as their main weapon assuming opposing number is also stealth and radar lock is next to impossible.
 

that whole statement is quoting media reports. "it was reported....." try to understand the difference.

Abstain from personal attacks. Address me directly if you have a question or something useful to share on the topic.

There is no point sharing useful stuff here, its a comedy show...
 

Good steps being carried out by Modi govt but I feel they should be stricter and impose death penalty on DRDO/HAL scientists and engineers who fail to successfully complete a project within stipulated timeline.

Hang them publically in front of their families
Dude, its India not North Korea or any other Terrorist state. We have democracy and law.

Request you to please share informations from credible sources.

By publically hanging a 100 HAL engineers we will be able to initiate the process of developing an aerospace Industry in India

The Tejas is a comedy show for the Indian Navy and Indian Air Force

And the navy left the show.
 
* At least 16 radomes a year.
* Kaveri is a dead duck. investing in it means more commissions and kickbacks for ADA and HAL, 30 years, final destination is known already. Good for them.
Still with chinese material.
I donno why you call it a Indigenous jet. As per you definition, HAL already did too much in mig-21, Jaguar, hawks and even Su-30MKI but still didn't call them Indigenous.

Please checkout the history of you so called Indigenously painted fc-1 aka jf-17. The basic development stated in 1986 whereas tejas' visible work started in 1992.
Tejas has IOC-1, IOC-2 clearance will you please share the same for JF.

When it comes to naming your jet , it was also nothing more than a copy paste Tech.
J-7 + FC-1 = JF-17

If you have any other or better answer than please share it without putting ban on any Indian member, ban on Indians becomes an identity of PDF. Think about it
 
@Anish9500
Let's say if you were in charge of the tejas program what would you do different?

Cancel it and focus on building a basic turboprop trainer first.

100% indigenous from engine to ejection seat.

Then move on to the next level.
