Now it is clear what AMCA will look like. This is basically what has already been circulated over the years but with much smaller model

 

[kaku]

1:2 Model for AMCA

 

[That_Guy]

That is a....very poorly modeled display. Did they get students to make it?

 

[iblini]

Do we have a scheduled year for first flight?

 

[Indos]

From revised schedule, it is reported that India AMCA will enter Indian Air Force starting in 2035. So I speculate the first prototype roll out will be in 2028, maiden flight will be in 2030. This is based on the Indian revised plan of course (2035 entering the Air Force)

Agreed

This is what last update we have it.

They have already started construction of 1st plane, after taxi trial etc will get fly around 2028, once test completed - induction will get started from 2035

Long nose design some how also appear in Turkish and European design.

For me, all 5th Gen jets looks same with slightly change.

Roll Out 2026
1st Prototype 2028
Mass Production 2034

We have no replacement for AMCA, this has to work.

Govt danda has started !

The Modi government has been as ineffective as the Congress government (2004-2014) in advancing the Indian Air Force’s modernization. Since 2014, progress has been minimal, with only 36 Rafale jets procured.

HAL, despite manufacturing aircraft for over 60 years, has shown little to no improvements. The organization appears stagnant, struggling with inefficiency, delays, and a lack of accountability toward timelines and commitments..

Can anyone explain why a prototype takes three years to manufacture? Haven't all the preparations and simulation testing been completed over the past decade?"

In real-world prototype development, especially in military aviation, often experiences such prolonged timelines. But the project is started a long ago, what these days were they doing?

AMCA is an ambitious project but poorly managed by HAL. The government could have involved private sector companies or pursued a joint venture, as many other countries do, to overcome any capability gaps."

Still, many doubts on their commitments regarding timelines

Looks like a copy of J-35.

Well caught.
Probably a photo-copy.
You know how these wanna-be technically growing countries operate.
