5+gen TEDBF can have SWB. Even if IWB is considered cuboid for AGMs, there is sufficient volume for CCM. The lateral retraction of MLG would enable this easily, otherwise more modification of fuselage needed. DRDO's NG-CCM is like AIM-132 ASRAAM which India also imports. So here is the depiction...

2D edits're not enough to imagine everything. 3d helps in rectification. I was going to just cut MLG bay door & color it separately. But rear tyre retraction, rest position affects fuselage shape. It shouldn't - - touch the air duct - overlap with IWB much - peek out of fuselage much I'm...

CAD work in progress of 1st iteration of notional 5+G TEDBF, Delta-Canard, V-tail, IWB for AGMs. Alternate of Naval AMCA.👀😳😲

Damn! almost 2 years passed so fast. I wish i searched for Blender's old version many years back. Anyways, considering notional Astr-2 short-fin AAM length = 3.84 m, diameter = 178 mm, fin-span = 530 cm. IWB length = 4.2 m, depth = 0.75 m max, width = 2.3 m. The IWB cannot be perfectly cuboid...

The cockpit section reminds me of baby stroller & bath tub🛒🛁:LOL:🤦‍♂️

Theoretical straight segments diverging S-Duct. Engine face not visible through corner of DSI intake for stealth. Duct cuts through IWB's front upper part. Theoretically, space for SWB also available but in a medium class jet perhaps that's needed for sufficient internal fuel & equipment...

From this angle we can't see the vertical rudder. So just imagine that this is F/A-XX like tail-less TD. Then like CALF/JAST to X-35 to F-35-C, a stealth TEDBF can be made, but not produce any raw/intermediate/unrefined model as LSP. Initially, 1st stealth TEDBF won't be so big as 6gen...

Sometimes i wonder if India needs ACs bcoz neither the doctrine nor need to sail to other nation's shore which has logistics, fuel, repair, rescue issues for CBG. Same issues for any aggressor who has to sail to Indian shores. It is easy to takeoff from shore or inland bases & defend airspace.

From all JSF documentaries, articles, it look like initially the parts commonality was supposed to be more than 50%, mostly in fuselage. But in reality it dropped below 50% i guess. Anyways, to the eyes of citizens on the outside they look almost same except the bigger wings of C model...

How would you imagine a stealth TEDBF?

Different static models & CADs have shown minor differences in fuselage shaping & features. I wonder which forward & mid fuselage blending contour style is best balance b/w aerodynamics, stealth, needed space. This will affect components like S-duct, fuel tanks, sensors, etc. I guess i'll have...

What about Su-3X, J-20 & perhaps F-47 too?

So far we compared diagrams of TEDBF with AMCA, F-18 SH, F-35-C, matching pixels with dimensions. Here is an attempt to look at Notional 5gen TEDBF, as close as possible to the 4gen delta-canard TEDBF. I made this edit last year itself & on day of posting the F-47 was announced. - pulled up the...

Initial outline of notional cockpit. 1 piece canopy w/o arc. HMDS instead of HUD. 60 x 24 cms TV, i mean MFD. From F-22 to F-35, we notice many hard switches, buttons, dials, knobs have been offloaded to MFD & HMDS.
