Payload is only a paper figure that doesn't tell you about the real carrying capability of a fighter, without including the number of hardpoints or the load limitations.
Typical strike config of Jaguar and LCA MK1 would be:
2 x fuel tanks (at the inner wing stations)
1 x LDP (at the centerline station for the Jags, at the pod station for the LCA)
2 x 1000lb LGBs (at the mid wing station, a 3rd one possible for LCA at the centerline)
2 x IR missiles for self defence (at the overwingstation for the Jags, or the external wingstation for the LCA)
So even if the Jag has more payload on paper, the standard strike config is the same, while the LCA even has space left for more weapons or fuel.
F/W is the thrust to weight ratio and it is directly proportional to the acceleration of the aircraft. An aircraft with a high thrust to weight ratio has high acceleration. For most flight conditions, an aircraft with a high thrust to weight ratio will also have a high value of excess thrust. High excess thrust results in a high rate of climb
hi @sancho is it possible to use overwingstation in LCAPayload is only a paper figure that doesn't tell you about the real carrying capability of a fighter, without including the number of hardpoints or the load limitations.

Maximum permissible take off weight is only on the paper?
Now you are changing the parameters...
The central point was "payload"
Now you are switching over to "Obsolete"
Stay on central point = "Payload.
Can the LCA have 10 hard points with half its engine thrust ?
hi @sancho is it possible to use overwingstation in LCA
Max take off weight is relative to aircraft's thrust, the higher the thrust, the more the take off weight.
Strange, who is diverting topic now? I thought you were talking about "payload":
@sancho In Mk2, where we get more powerful engine..can't we add rail launcher with two missiles in one station? provided the engine power addition will reduce drag hence more weight capability for wing stations?
Since in M2k upgrade, there is no plane structural change/air frame modificaion(no further strengthening the wings) but still add more station aka more load?

I agree here,,,,they are atleast better than mig-21's at any rate
I have personally sat in a static mig-21 bison at the jodhpur base.
They are damn too old to be considered in 2014........
**** the cockpit is just horrible
Tejus is at least equal to upgraded miraj, that what miraj pilot itself says. So font think that tejus will be most inferior plane in IAf.

Bison are too old. Thats why we need to replace. Now do you think 40 mk1 and 89 mk2 order justify that they are replacemnt for bisons.
Originally mk2 requirment was came from IN, as they need bigger engine for carrier operatioms. So mk2 future in IAF in was never clear. They are just postponding the things.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but no way Tejas is even in the same size class as Mirage.
No its not...............not untill it gets the foc
