But that must be an older image? Wasn't LA-5021 renumbered to LA-5017?

 

[The Maverick]

Looks very much like the the mirage cousin.
The build looks near
Love the camo grey paint scheme
And feel it's a very capable platform not least due to fadec USA engine from ge and advanced radar and jammers and missles from Israel.

Im not going to say its a bad plane------but the design dose not make any sense.

Yes, it's probably after the first flight where it was numbered LA-5021. LA-5017 is the newer image. It was earlier numbered LA-5021, but changed to LA-5017.

 

[The Maverick]

To me its a good design NOT world class like F16 or Gripen
Its a good plane for fighting In SOUTH ASIA would be hopeless in NATO
Its good experience AND will morph into this baby in 6-8 years

Look at how the cockpit is elevated at such a sharp angle.

the air intakes seems very odd for Delta design dont you think the cockpit is a bit tight?

A marriage between a Mig 21 and French Mirage = LCA.

A flawed design can only go so far. This is an Indian attempt of copying French Mirage resulting in a down syndromed version -

Looks are subjective but the cockpit size etc is perfect for Indian pilots, decided after detailed Anthropometric studies. Fits like a glove for Indian pilots.
