JF17 V LCA Picture Comparison Thread

[Nishan]

To me the Thunder looks very basic on the GROUND SHOTS.

Where as the close up Ground shots of Tejas look far better.

IN THE AIR the Thunder looks better than tejas me thinks

HE said in the original post this was not about spec , but only picture comparison.

Also your spec's on LCA are either out of date or incomplete.

Jf-17 looks to me like a fighter,
LCA looks more like a mirage kinda trainer and its ugly.

We should compare Mushtaq trainer with LCA.

P.S f-16 dot net pics not gona display here.

lol man its Mushak Not Mushtaq..hahaha

is it me or the delta wing design of Teja looks exactly like Jas 37 viggen?

look at the starting curve and thereafter!

The aerodynamics, fluid flow, physics etc etc of delta wing design apply equally to both LCA and Jas-37. Infact count in Mirage series fighters and Rafale too!

Not entirely.. close though.. What changes is the aspect ratio.. the LCA counts on a low aspect ratio to counter the CG shift.. but messing up its aerodynamic efficiency in the process.. and currently it has the worst aspect ratio of any fighter. The Dassault advisers seemed to have misled in the start.. by foresight it would have been brilliant if the LCA was designed as a canard fighter.

Mods.. wanna bet in 5 posts this turns into a flame war??
