HAL LCA Tejas: Updates, News & Discussions

Again, it is not the point, where these studies were done but who made the original concept and this was a Saab design tested in the US. The Tejas’ initial concepts - similar to the Druhv - however was not an Indian design.

If not in Gripen, Swedes had to hire several foreigners in developing Draken and Viggen.


Does this make it less Swede?
 
Dont talk without prof, show the credible link and not Indian generated media
Please do your own research, you want other to spoon feed you after using such sarcastic tone. Find someone else.

You are the one that needs to improve your logic, testing design in USA is not the same as being design by US. It does need help from US for testing it, the same like Anka UCAV where the wind tunnel test is done in Indonesia, using Indonesian wind tunnel engineer experts since 2008, but we never say Anka is designed by Indonesians.
 

This is the one capability that is absolutely essential. The fact that it is LSP-8 (KH2018) prototype that is testing the Elta El-8222WB SPJ means that it will be ported on to the existing 2 squadrons of Tejas Mk1, apart from the Tejas Mk1A.
 
I never said it was a JV - this is indeed a major difference to the Thunder - but the early concepts, almost all aerodynamic work was done outside by German at first and later French design teams, it uses such an amount of foreign content. It can barely be called a totally indigenously developed type.

Germans?! What on earth are you even talking about? MBB offered a design which wasn't chosen, in fact BAe offered P106B as well which eventually went on to become the baseline for the Gripen (so much for Saab doing indigenous design on it's own!).

Dassault was a consultant, it trained nearly 500 HAL engineers on CATIA which was being developed by Dassault back then. The studies for the configuration were done jointly by HAL engineers and Dassault consultants.
