Wasn't sure, not aware of how design and testing goes with military equipment.Nobody makes "ground test" prototype.
If a prototype is made it is made to fly.

Abe it's already public! ..bhagwan muh diye hy to kya kuchh bhi bol doge?"Why would we display the latest & exact design of AMCA?"
The latest design iteration should be kept under-wraps, for good reason!
Nice where'd you get it?

The pics are available. The wind-tunnel model was shown, atleast 5 scale models, Kuntal's 3d renders!

The only difference I could was the absence of tail(between engines) extension.Ab ye chatwa(6th) sibling kahan aur kab paida hua?![]()

For India, AMCA or F-35 or Su-57
The AMCA stealth fighter’s development and manufacture should be advanced as fast as possible. If DRDO is unable to proceed fast enough then, its management handed over to the private sector. It is urgent and it is a must.
Chinese are likely to hand over two dozen stealth fighters in next five years to Pakistan; although these fighters are inferior and can be countered by Rafale and upgraded Su-20mk1 but the psychological impact on Indian mind set of Pakistan acquiring stealth fighters will be great. Moreover, even facing bankruptcy, Pakistani public and armed forces morale will go sky rocketing. Also, Chinese having a dozen stealth fighters in Tibet is of no consequence as their effectiveness is not that great crossing the Himalayas.
Now, there is no possibility that India will ever acquire the U.S. F-35. Even if they agree to sell, the conditions they will put on its operation will be so harsh that India as a sovereign nation would not be able to accept these. Hence end of the story.
Again, if India goes for Russian Su-57 then, this purchase will invite rude American sanctions. Remember that it is unpredictable Trump in charge for next four years. For India to stay on his good side, it is better to stay away from any large deal with the Russians.
Hence, do everything to speed up AMCA. If you have to seek help or collaboration from others, then do get it but speed it up. That will be good for national morale.
I have heard that to plan a mission using F-35 requires input from a database held in the US. If true, no F-35 can be used to attack a target if the US does not approve of the target being attacked. If what I have heard is untrue, my apologies for mentioning it.Now, there is no possibility that India will ever acquire the U.S. F-35.

India's procurement/development system slows procurement/development down. The simplest way to speed AMCA up is to stop slowing it down.
Very unlikely…..If Trump wants business then he should clear F414 engines a.s.a.p. at valid cost.
Not just that, he should clear a better engine for our R&D like given for Turkish Kaan.
Perhaps we can negotiate sub-systems of F-35, a middle solution b/w their full proposal & our unwillingness. Like - HMDS, EOTS, DAS, MADL snesors, but not stalling our products R&D.
F-135 engine w/o ToT for now?![]()
The present model being displayed is contemporary as of today and will be evolved during the development. This practice is followed across the globe by any combat aircraft design house.
