Hopefull it will fly on islamabad shortlymy question is... can tejas fly this year on your independence day or still planning to hop on a back of the truck just curious
i read some one just said MK2 will be a different league can i ask what would be so different about MK2 ?? change in airframe ?? or internal weapons bay to make it stealthy ?? or more hard point to make it from light aircraft to medium aircraft ???
first make it fly over dehliHopefull it will fly on islamabad shortly
well i must say @HAIDER they were talking this and that about tejas before i came to get some info about there nearly 4 decades old project and you know what i found out ???? they are hell of a good Dodgers
if you gonna use everything western than whats the use of the word Indegieous ???power plant itself set to get upgraded ,
design improvement, with 65% parts modification
length to get increased , fuel to get increased..,
these are all big changes, like when jf 17 gets chinese WS engine..
Tejas, which finally achieved its initial operational clearance last month uses an American engine, British ejection seat, Canadian canopy sheath and Israeli radar. "A major chunk of its avionics and weapons are also imported. The series production of the Tejas Mark-II version, which is what IAF actually wants, is unlikely to begin before 2022," said an officer.

Hi
Tarmak007 today conducted a chat session for its Facebook fans and Tejas Boss P S Subramanyam.
I hereby try to assimilate them here.
The facts below are responses by him to questions by fans.
●Astra missiles programme was actually initiated at ADA only. All the time the integration of ASTRA on to LCA has been kept in mind while evolving Astra. Once Astra is cleared on any other platform it will be integrated on LCA.
●3 more SP aircrafts will be delivered by year end.
●Rs 7,500 cores spent to develop 2 TDs, 5 prototypes and 7 LSPs and establish a production line. The most economical programme in the world so far for the above purpose.
●Radar Range of mk1 is 100 km for targets of size 2m^2.
● The Nose (Quatz) fron Cobham will increase the performance of radar by 15%. Meaning the present range of Radar is 86.9 Km if you do some maths.
●Thrust vectoring feature cannot improve any of LCA performance.
●FoC by Mar 2016 MK2 roll out before 2018
● Tejas Trainer can take part in battle.
●Naval aircraft will be cleared by carrier compatibility after the availability of our own aircraft carrier.
●The dry engine development of Kaveri is on.
● Tejas has quite a good range as ferry range of 1500 km is not small.
●Tejas mk1 has moderate degree of stealth.
●The Open Systems Architecture of LCA facilitates continuous upgrade of Electronics hence prevents obsolescence.
●Internal Jammer to mk1 will be added at a later stage.
●From this year begining HAL is looking for a production rate of 16-20 aircrafts per year and it will take 3 years to reach that rate.
●Composites are 40 per cent by weight and 90 per cent by surface area.
●The pilots find this aircraft extermely pilot friendly in its handling qualities.
●FoC clearance will not come in the way of ramping up the production since the initial order is for IoC config.
●MK1 improved version in another 2 years.
●We expect the deliveries from Cobhmam by July.
●LSP 6 is being redied to pull 28 degrees AoA.
●Weight reduction is an ongoing process. And target to reduce weight by 6000 kg has been almost achieved.
●The LCA can carry Laser guided bombs with miss distances of hit of the order of less than a meter.
●OBOGS all the ground tests are over. Ready for integration on a prototype vehicle.
●The Cobham Radome will increase the range by about 10-15%
●COnfig design of AMCA is completed and Preliminary design is about to start. Engine requirements are also finalised.
●Present AoA is 24-26 degrees.
●Life span of Tejas is 30 years.
The facts above are not in order.
Forgive me for grammatical errors.
Please do not indulge in trolling.

Get your facts straight. Aircraft don't fly during Independence Day. They do during Republic Day! So yes, you'll not be seeing the Tejas fly on 15 Aug 2015!my question is... can tejas fly this year on your independence day or still planning to hop on a back of the truck just curious
according to op,FOC is to be delayed yet again,,,,so much for good news.khongei uthi goise.Some good news coming through. No more delays please.
Dada the statement is used quite loosely (especially in media) of comparing LCA with Grippen and now F 16.Somewhere he said it is comparable to F-16.
I guess it was December 2015, but looks like some more time is given.FoC by Mar 2016 MK2 roll out before 2018
Radar range he clearly stated 100 km for 2m^2 target compared to Jf 17 thunder 130 km for 5 m^2 target.Compared to Gripen's 3200, its rather piss poor.
He didn't say anything about target size.
He said 6560 kilos.
It is 3000 hours. Once again rather piss poor.
