LCA TEJAS MK-I & MK-IA: News and Discussion

[Bleh]

In layman terms, why do we need canards for Mk2? What benefits do they bring and what re the cons for using them?

The sort of extreme close-coupled canards that nearly overlap the wings on LCA Mk2, are primarily meant for increasing payload & low-speed handling. The closest comparison design-wise is with IAI Kfir that saw a 3500kg increase in payload from original Mirage 5 by adding canards.

Computational Study to Assess the Usage of Asymmetric Canard as Yaw Control Device for a Generic Fighter Aircraft

The maneuvering capability of a fighter aircraft employing delta wings, at low speeds, can be significantly improved by enhancing the high angle of attack aerodynamic stability and control characteristics. Provision of additional control power through certain...

This pattern is also ensure that drag-increas is minimum of all canards locations.

it seems that you forgot the 'NEW' engine on Kfir which provides much more thrust than the orinal one

Because no firm will keep prices fixed because your internal processes take 15 years.

Same bloody thing happened with the DARIN III engines from Honeywell. They waited for 9 freaking years for MoD and MoF to make up their minds and then updated the prices.

I was commenting on the reason why a committee should be formed to take over negotiation in the place of the current Indian negotiators. Doesn't make any sense to me.

Yes, no price quoted is firm indefinitely. Does GOI not understand that?

No one is discussing the kaveri refinement with the help of safran,if they can promise optimised kaveri ,performance like ge f404 then it should be done ....give them the money ....and stop begging to us

Most important least considered.

Committee is formed to distribute (not share) responsibility only ... and nothing else...

What gain is there from that?

Farmers ke liye annually MSP par 200000 cr kharch hojaata hai. New engines? Pfft

This shit is unlikely to change until we can give the IAS mafia the boot theat's been pending for decades.

MWF will also be having similar thrust gain of 10kN, so didn't cover that.
