Seriously nobody knows a s@it right now.
We dont know what FGFA will be. Just rumours. But there is good possibility that IAF has already abandoned the twin seater idea. So we too might complete our FGFA well in time.
Lets wait for some big mouth to spit it out.
Almost all reports have indicated that we have backed off from 2 seat version due to
1)stealth aspect
2)more cost of testing and development
so we will in all probity see only single seat version only............btw all other 5th generation fighters are single seat versions only
Yes haven't heard much on that front. Is FGFA preliminary work complete, i'm little doubtful here. So that should mean the first prototypes that come to India will be vanilla T-50 for evaluation only. FGFA is still atleast 4-5 years away IMHO.
I suppose a better word would've been Teething Problems, but then which complex system doesn't have one. I think it is prudent to be patient here.
Who can comment on fgfa when 25% of the work will be done by super agency like HAL??
We can only hope that the aircraft does come out!!
