Upload it to PAC servers. A virus, trojan or worm, anything would be an upgrade.

I am sure the anti viruses will be serving tea inside the ram/hard disk.

But IN has scrapped the plans to get NLCA ?

It's still a tech demo.

Don't be surprised if we see firing tests soon. It seems ADA is leaving no stones unturned in making Mk1 a fully developed DBF, regardless of weight. It's all good data that'll contribute to TEDBF.

I believe that generally LCA is a maintenance headache ? What is the airframe life btw ?
General knowledge question

General knowledge question

If we ignore a hitman article on behalf of Saab & LM with some atrocious laughable data, what we know is this:

• In Gaganashakthi-'18, Tejas did six sorties per day on all airframes in service, totalling 9000 sorties.
• The Tejas employs CFC materials for up to 45% of its airframe. The use of composites in the LCA resulted in a 40% reduction in the total number of parts compared to using a metallic frame. Furthermore, the number of fasteners has been reduced by half in the composite structure from the 10,000 that would have been required in a metallic frame design. The composite design also helped to avoid about 2,000 holes being drilled into the airframe.
• The naval prototype based on the same airframe is able to withstand the tremendous loads that come with ski-arrested trials.

Reportedly,

• Mk1A price fixed at ~$44 million.
• If the order is placed at the start of 2020, Mk1A deliveries will start in 2023. 16/year, complete 83 by 2028.
• UTTAM AESA has done 11 test flights on Tejas so far. May feature on Mk1A later.
• Already developed Mk2 DFCC is bigger and not a fit on Mk1A, but the upgraded Mk2 cards have been installed in Mk1A DFCC chassis.
• Reason for canards on Mk2: Increased fuel capacity (3300 kg from 2400 kg) made the aircraft excessively stable. Canards bring back the unstability.
• Mk2 first flight by 2023.
