After carrying out years of Internal In-house research to develop technology required for India’s first Stealth Fighter aircraft Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA), DRDO is all set to brief Defence minister Manohar Parrikar about the project and seek first official grant of $4 Billion from the government to start first phase of development which will involve development of Two Technological Demonstrator (TD) aircrafts and later Prototypes .

According to report prepared by Prominent Journalist “Ajai Shukla ” Dr S Christopher DRDO Chief will be first briefed about the Project and similar briefing has also been sought by Defence minister Manohar Parrikar before AMCA Project gets Green Singal from Government and Offical funding .

Idrw.org in its previous reports had informed its readers that ADE will start building first Technological Demonstrator (TD) aircraft from late 2019 which will be ready for first flight in 2021 and will enter production post-2025. DRDO hopes from development stage to Testing Stage and then to Production stage, AMCA Project will mature in next 15 years.

Design and aerodynamic layout of AMCA have already been frozen and recent wind tunnel testing carried out at the Calspan Wind Tunnel in the United States of America have given its developers enough confidence in their work to start working on actual aircraft.

AMCA will be India’s first Stealth aircraft developed in India. Air Staff Requirement (ASR) issued by Indian air force (IAF) in 2010 had asked for aircrafts weight should not exceed 25 tonnes which make it a medium category aircraft. ASR also demanded aircraft be powered by Two engines and according to ADE AMCA will require Two 110kN thrust class engine to meet its power requirements.

AMCA will be equipped with an AESA Radar, which also have Next generation avionics in Cockpit. AMCA will also come with latest integrated condition monitoring systems covering important systems such as avionics, structural health, air conditioning, and pressure regulation, networked data fusion and engines will also get thrust vectoring for super manoeuvrability.

AMCA will be designed with a very small radar cross-section and is expected to feature serpentine shaped air-intakes, internal weapons and the use of composites and other materials to make it par with other Stealth aircrafts developed by other Countries .

ADE will first develop Two Technological Demonstrator (TD) aircrafts and 3 Prototypes which will be developed in Modular Construction method.

India should give up PAK FA and concentrate on AMCA.

Boys, don't get your hopes high... If the IAF-HAL do not step upto the plate, and let ADA lead this, I highly doubt that the results would be any different than LCA. Sorry for being the buzz kill
thats right but this time its a matter of perstige for the current goverment and its PM & DM to show results and LCA MK2, AMCA & AURA tops their list rumor is ever since new DM came he is single mindedlli pushing for AMCA and wants it to be his legacy ... cant weight :pop:

Engines are the main issue!

Remaining technologies India can develop within the time frame.

Bring it onnnn.:-)
Unrealistic time frame has been set for the 5th gen plane.although official induction is date is 2025 :mad:it would be miracle for ADA to induct in 2030:chilli:

The only thing that can save this is concurrent engineering,
Let HAL work on Airframe/Landing Gear, Servos and Hydraulics. Ground systems

ADA- Scaled testing for composites, Static and Dynamic testing, Radar reflection testing, Avionics, Cable trays and Harnesses, Mission Computer, Harmonics and vibration testing,

DRDO-LRDE- AESA Radar-interferometry/ Rear facing transmitter module/SPS/Jammer

GTRE - Turbofan Engine

NPO-Saturn- Backup Turbofan Engine

Doesn't matter how much time it will take to go on ground, at least we are trying to make it home through "make in India". Slowly slowly we will be mature in making indigious plane. Our generation is doing struggle but next indian generation (our children's ) will be proud what we gonna have that time.

their is no scarecity of trained engineers and scientists for the JOB rather DRDO, ADA , HAL have surplus of them the real problem was "project management" which uptil 8 months back was like we had in 1970s but now things are chnging and at a very fast pace and the new DM is nutorius for "transferring " and hates "chamchas" he is kind of person who knows how to take work from "sarkarri log"
