guess what we are not like you and we are greatfull to M A Jinnah and likes of him that we are differnet from likes of you
having said that LCA was made with Indian cirumstances and economy and assets in mind ..... like low mantainence , short runway , adequate payload capacity and reasonablly good fuel economy and decent sortie rate with capability to perform both light interception and ligh escort role(for refuling tankers or transport fleet or AWACS) or light strike/air support
thats why LCA has fairly large wings than its size with high monted setup in a cranked leading edge to manage the drag and increase the lift and still keep bleeding of eenergy at low speed manouvering in check ... which in a conventional layout wont be possible and for that they had to compromise on high speed sudden change in altitude & fuel economy
