AMCA News and Discussion

You need to take into account the HAL drag coefficient

HAL will most likely be involved in a limited way. It will be a consortium of private companies along with defence PSUs.

 

[Thinking]

Just curious, is this going to be a fifth generation fighter or sixth generation fighter. Will it be more advanced than f-22?

7th! It will be so stealthy, you will never see it!

I agree with I will never see it as I’m old. Maybe my kids or grandkids might see it.

You are citing from a most ridiculous account, even in the Indian standard.

Just for visual comfort

Just wants to check the design direct comparison since if I do here my self, non users will see the picture becomes small. Photo on posted Twitter account will be seen as the origin (quite large).

About their comment, just let them say what they wants

but we don't know what the Indian plane is going to looks like but anyway, conventional layout for the fifth gen are pretty much visually alike.

They are going to go for EMD phase, just like KF21/IFX EMD phase starting in 2016. They only refine the design made during TD phase developed by ADD Korea and Indonesian team. C103 into C109 plus detail design. C109 is getting bigger from C103, but overall design is pretty the same with C103

For Indian AMCA program, it will be not much different, I believe, from the circulated AMCA design we have seen so far. Just refinement where for the bare look it will likely be just the same design

Safran and MTU have agreed joint venture and workshare on the FCAS engine and will began testing

Safran submitted the proposal, along with RollsRoyce. MoD wants to go ahead with them. AMCA will use GE F414IN in initial batches till engine is certified. FCAS is supposed to be rolled out in 2040s, so its still far away.

Safran and MTU are making the FCAS engine, their proposal for Indian MOD is to get India to fund a new engine. If that is correct, you are paying for French and British R&D.

Maybe, the contract isn't signed. And only one of the two will be selected and it includes complete ToT and IPR holding with India as a pre-requisite. Otherwise F414 that will be made in India under license for the LCA Mk-2 will be going into AMCA.
