Cockpit looks much inferior to thunder....
What are these pedal like structures???
Controls nose wheels while taxiing. But they're called rudder pedals as they give input to control the rudder in flight. Brakes are also activated using the same.What are these pedal like structures???
Air Force LCA got one more display.Cockpit looks much inferior to thunder....
It has very less buttons then JF-17. Any idea why???

Do you have a picture of airforce LCA cockpit,the cockpit does look a bit cramped though.
Yes I understand there are different types of species of human in West and Indian for cockpit design....Yes I mean in terms of market the customer sees only that extra and larger MFD things....wasn't you go to buy a car from a showroom?....Think in that terms....Rafale,Typhoon,Eagle and Gripen have the best HMD but still look at their cockpit and HUD.....In what way? Just based on the size of the MFDs? In fact, the Tejas has a better view out of the cockpit for the pilot than the JF-17, where the pilot sits lower in the cockpit compared to the Tejas. Rear view is comparatively poorer in both the jets (if you compare to the Rafale, F-16 and Typhoon).
Just FYI, the Tejas cockpit is designed based on the anthropometric data of Indian pilots, hence more suited to Indian pilots than the Russian and Western jets that were designed to their pilots. All the data that the pilot requires is presented on MFDs and the displays are better than those on the upgraded Mirage-2000Is.
Plus, with the DASH HMDS, all the vital flight info is presented to the pilot directly on their helmet visor. That in itself is a huge advantage for any pilot.
Not sure what buttons you're referring to. the full-glass cockpit concept is to minimize the number of buttons and switches and allow the pilot to CHOOSE what information to see on the MFDs. The rest of the switches and buttons you see are all related to the various airplane and engine controls that a pilot needs.
