I saw the bahrain air show on the YouTube and Tejas take off was one of the worst..with hovering over the runway closing landing gear like passenger plane..BTW JF-17 can pull 8.5G vs Tejas 8G.
Tejas has the capability but as the commentator says the air craft is going to hold low maneuver before lift off..
BTW it is not exactly light..all that 40 Years delay in making composites is not helping..Also remember the maintenance advantage..that composites cannot be repaired like aviation alloys...cut..dril..rivet...and if someone takes out the composite production facilities during war...then its all high sh1t in the air.
HAL Tejas/Weight
14,330 lbs
CAC/PAC JF-17 Thunder/Weight
14,520 lbs
