LCA-Tejas inherits ” Stealth features ” due to its small size : Chinese media

[The Accountant]

That is why I said that GaN can be used for other things than Radar.
It is used in the Electronic Warfare function, and I assume it analyses incoming radar
pulses and cancels the echos, but I really do not know any details.
That is definitely secret.

It is useless to debate you .. you are mixing radar detecting tech and ew warfare with rcs ..

watch your self , vertical Short take Off and compare it with any of other plane in its category....

you can easily see the difference in videos of any airshow.

 

[hunter_hunted]

One reason might be that Tejas has a terrain hugging tech. it hugs tightly to TATA Truck

lol, really , can u tell the how much sec your JFT , Gripen and Tejas has taken ? When JFT and Gripen is still figuring out how when to Start fly , Tejas is in the air with tiers closed.

God, the amount of Pakistani folks in this thread to bash Tejas. If it is not flying, why you guys need to worry at all?.

They are not worrying about Tejas. Just like Americans don't worry about Chinese J20. It doesn't stop them bashing J20.

The RCS is something you can affect with EW.

The small size of tejas means the combat range it carrys is also very short .

Weapons load is not bad but tejas will need to stationed in forward bases near the borders .

Whereas the mighty mki can be located all.over the Indian sub continent due vast size and pay load including ample fuel

Small size hasn't translated to less internal fuel...

Internal fuel capacity:
HAL Tejas 2,458 kg
JF-17 2,350 kg

Weapons load is very comparable ...

Carrying capacity:
3,500 kg external fuel and ordnance (8 hardpoints, of which 3 wet)
3,629 kg external fuel and ordnance (7 hardpoints, of which 3 wet)

Which means, IMHO, that combat radius is dependant on specific fuel consumption of the respective engines for a given flight profile and external load (= fueltanks, weapons, sensors).

F404-GE-402

• Specific fuel consumption:
  
• Military thrust: 82.6 kg/(kN·h) (0.81 lb/(lbf·h))
• Full afterburner: 177.5 kg/(kN·h) (1.74 lb/(lbf·h))

Klimov RD-33

• Specific fuel consumption:
• Military thrust: 75 kg/(kN·h) (0.77 lb/(lbf·h)) dry,
• Full afterburner 188 kg/(kN·h) (1.85 lb/(lbf·h))

WS-13 ?

^^Thanks for that.
Just a minor addition, the LCA uses the GE F404 IN20 which is heavier....so the SFC may be different.

really. tejas only flew at one pace straighter at 0 degree like a 7th generation bomber. nothing unusual. if tejas is so good then i hope you change your pilots who went their with the plane.

Then why LCA is having way poor range over jf17

Source of your claim?

http://www.defense-aerospace.com/ar...-contracts-for-gripen-ew-suite-(dec.-10).html

Ericsson Saab Avionics has received an order from Saab AB in Linköping for an electronic warfare suite, EWS 39, for the Swedish Air Force JAS 39 Gripen. The order is valued at 1.2 billion kronor (142 MUSD).

The system represents the second generation of EW suites for Gripen and is basically the same version as the one offered to the overseas market.

The EWS 39 plays a decisive role in the aircraft's ability to operate in areas with hostile aircraft and AAA units. Accordingly, the system includes means to discover threats from radar, analyze the signals, validate them against known data, present the threats to the pilot and take proper counteractions. These counteractions include, for instance, electronic jamming against radar and radar-guided missiles, flares against IR-guided missiles and chaff against radar and radar-guided missiles.

Ericsson Saab Avionics is responsible for the overall system design and the electronic jammer. CelsiusTech Electronics is responsible for the Radar Warning Receiver, RWR. In addition, CelsiusTech Electronics delivers the chaff and flare dispenser.

Saab is responsible for the system integration in the aircraft.

Ericsson Saab Avionics AB is owned jointly by Ericsson Microwave Systems AB and Saab AB. It is the principal supplier of electronic systems for the JAS 39 Gripen, for instance the Cockpit Display System. (ends)

lol, you have iota of knowledge about plane , list what commentator said after flying over runway it go straight up....poo JFT need full runway to takeoff....
