Let me asnwer this in hope of a smilar reply from you. Here is a Summarised Version of What all is Indian :
Tejas design
Designed as a single-engine tactical fighter, the Tejas has a compound delta-wing planform to achieve weight reductions.
"India's first modern light combat aircraft, Tejas, is being built by HAL."
The highly adapted wing design, combined with a blended-wing body, delivers high-performance and manoeuvrability has been improved with built-in aerodynamic instability. The design allows the aircraft to be integrated with guided air-to-surface and anti-ship weapons for multirole and multimission capabilities. The naval variant will have additional features to reduce carrier landing speed and be equipped with an arrestor hook for deck recovery.
The fuselage is thin-walled, integrally stiffened structure, which is designed to sustain internal pressure without stiffener debonding. It features complex shapes and contours and built using integral structures in large scale.
Carbon Carbon Composites
The Tejas employs CFC materials for up to 45% of its airframe, including in the fuselage (doors and skins), wings (skin, spars and ribs), elevons, tailfin, rudder, air brakes and landing gear doors. Composites are used to make an aircraft both lighter and stronger at the same time compared to an all-metal design, and the LCA's percentage employment of CFCs is one of the highest among contemporary aircraft of its class. Apart from making the plane much lighter, there are also fewer joints or rivets, which increases the aircraft's reliability and lowers its susceptibility to structural fatigue cracks
Landing gear
Tejas is equipped with hydraulic retractable tricycle-type landing gear developed by HAL, which envisages two single, inward-retracting main wheels and a steerable twin-wheel forward-retractable nose gear. Titanium half alloy tubes are used for hydraulic power transmission.
Mission Computer
Tejas features an integrated digital avionics suite, configured around the MIL-STD-1553B bus system. The 32-bit mission computer (MC) can perform mission-oriented computations, flight management, reconfiguration / redundancy management and in-flight system self tests.
EW Suite
This EW suite, known as Mayavi, includes a radar warning receiver (RWR), Missile Approach Warning (MAW) and a Laser warning receiver (LWR) system, Infrared & Ultraviolet Missile warning sensors, self-protection jammer, chaff, jaff and flares dispenser, an electronic countermeasures (ECM) suite and a towed radar decoy (TRD). In the interim, the Indian Ministry of Defence has revealed that an unspecified number of EW suites had been purchased from Israel's Elisra for the LCA prototypes.
Digital Avionics Suite
The inputs from the pilot, inertia and air data sensors are transferred to the control surface actuators through the digital flight control computer (DFCC). A ring laser gyro-based (RLG) inertial navigation system (INS) integrated with a global positioning system (GPS) provides navigation and guidance. The electronic warfare suite, comprising electromagnetic and electro-optic receivers and jammers, brings soft-kill capability to the aircraft.
Fly By Wire
Tejas is equipped with a quadruplex digital fly-by-wire flight control system to ease handling by the pilot. The digital FBW system of the Tejas employs a powerful digital flight control computer (DFCC) comprising four computing channels, each with its own independent power supply and all housed in a single LRU. The DFCC receives signals from a variety of sensors and pilot control stick inputs, and processes these through the appropriate channels to excite and control the elevons, rudder and leading edge slat hydraulic actuators. The DFCC channels are built around 32-bit microprocessors and use a subset of the Ada programming language for software implementation. The computer interfaces with pilot display elements like the MFDs through MIL-STD-1553B multiplex avionics data buses and RS-422 serial links.
Tejas is intentionally made longitudinally unstable to enhance manoeuvrability. The Control laws (CLAW) recover Stability and provide good Handling Qualities to the Pilot. They also provide invariant response with respect to variation in aerodynamics, fuel etc. and facilitate robust performance. The CLAW is carefree and ensures that various aircraft parameters are limited automatically. This enables the pilot to fly the mission without worrying about exceedance of parameters beyond a safe limit.
The NAL's CLAW team completed integration of the flight control laws by themselves, with the FCS software performing flawlessly for over 50 hours of pilot testing on TD-1, resulting in the aircraft being cleared for flight in early 2001. The automatic flight control system (AFCS) has been praised by all test pilots, one of whom remarked that he found the LCA easier to take off in than in a Mirage 2000
The autopilot provides pilot relief functions. This helps the pilot to do more head down activities (especially mission critical activities) without being concerned about the aircraft departing from its flight path. The autopilot is also equipped with advanced features like auto level (which helps the pilot recover the aircraft if he gets disoriented and also during night flying), safe altitude recovery (which automatically pulls up the aircraft if it comes too close to the ground) and navigation modes (which steer the aircraft automatically along a pre-determined flight path).
Multi Mode Radar
The coherent pulse-Doppler Multi Mode Radar is designed to operate equally effectively in the Air to Air and Air to Surface domains. Jointly developed as an Indian – Israeli venture, it features multi-target Air to Air Track, Hi Resolution Synthetic Aperture Mapping and specialised Air to Sea modes. The radar facilitates all weather employment of a variety of Air to Air and Air to Surface Weaponry, and is the primary targeting sensor on the Tejas.
ALL ARE PURELY INDIAN.
Plus India has Fully Developed
- Astra BVR
- Uttam AESA
- LCA Trainer
More over LCA is Also FULLY Developed for naval Version. Also, the Kaveri Engine is Actually being used for Naval and UAV applications.
Now ANSWER ME. What All is that can be called as Pakistani in JF17 ?
