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.

Today these are basic features & as decade passes they become even more basic. Static models are mostly shown as basic outline. Prototypes or TD could also be basic for testing different things like X-35, YF-22, YF-23, FC-31, Su-57, J-20, Kaan. The IOC jet roll out reveals the minimum required...

MoD/DoD say 2029. If it was up to people like me then it would have flown when FC-31 flew.

Basic CAD model outline of AMCA is ready. Solid & rendered views in green primer, stealthy tinted canopy. Cockpit is empty, needs time to model small area with right measurements. Full surface features remaining, will model 1 by 1. Started with F-22 model but AMCA got ahead so far. Fortunately...

TEDBF should be treated just as an acronym - Twin Engine Deck Based Fighter. So a 2 engine naval jet can be 5.5/6gen, medium class, heavy class, anything. This is not the era of intentionally making a medium class jet. Weapons size & capacity, fuel quantity decide size of jet. I envision a heavy...

It's not UFO.🛸👽 Human DNA & potential same everywhere. India needs JV engine & some components but can make the airframe. DRDO has made RAM, RAS, working on DEW, TVC, etc. But in some places India is plagued by bad managers - over-optimistic with peace, over-confident with its borders & 4gen...

I guess FCAS is endangered now & its dimensions & internal load have not been officially finalized. Just bcoz it is carrier capable doesn't mean it meets India's needs. Size of nations, coastline, hostile nations & their strength, etc decide how many CBGs needed, size of the ACs, # of jets on...

DRDO has made RAM, RAS, sensors, etc; working on DEW, TVC, etc. IMO India should not get the entire airframe of FCAS or GCAP bcoz airframe design is not tough, especially with today's advanced tools, AI/ML, etc. Collaboration should be for certain components like engine, etc. EU nations size...

Just news can be obtained by news channels on TV or mobile apps or YT channels. AMCA project running slow since 2010 so news will also come slow. My kids will have kids by IOC of AMCA. :ROFLMAO: Hence purpose of casual chat forum is discussion, sharing ideas, speculation which can also be done...

The gaps between control surfaces & body have to be angled, otherwise vertical side becomes side reflector. The following is example of F-22's slat's gap with wing root - AMCA Static models focus on broad outline & have not shown the feature yet, but the real jet would apparently have it.

CAD work in progress. Only surface outline so far based on drawings. At certain places like dorsal/upper curves, it's difficult to match exact contours from low res drawings, & 3D views. Keeping low count of vertices, edges, polygons on old laptop. I've removed some diagonal edges of low bending...

After adjusting pixels of available diagrams of TEDBF & AMCA to their dimensions & comparing, we found that their fuselage height is almost same; span & cross section area values are nearby, AMCA's belly spans more for IWB. The overlay of AMCA's IWB outline shows that TEDBF can be tweaked...

Others can keep their opinion based on jets with IFRP like F-35, Su-57, etc, but IM🧅 apart from EOTS, i would vouch for a clean shaved cheek like F-22 with spine receptacle, no ladder, one piece canopy w/o arc, TacIRST like multi-function sensor, all these would reduce RCS & improve pilot...

> Before writing further on reducing pilot life risk by 5+gen TEDBF, i collected many points & divided them into 2 groups depending upon inclination more to 4gen or 5gen. So, later in another post i'ld put the 5gen inclined points. > 1st, for 4gen lovers i would like to do an approximate scaled...
