There's still time in era of affordable supercomputing, automation, robotics, AI/ML. YF-22 was re-designed in 1987 in just 3 months. so i would expect following changes in AMCA Mk1 itself - > Ladder & canopy arc rail should be removed to reduce RCS. > IFRP replaced by spine receptacle. We can...

Some new graphics render has come out by NG for F/A-XX. It loos like a delta wing, with 2 rudders, only top flat intakes with middle separator. Dark & difficult to see under wing & belly. There seems to be SWB & IWB.

CAUTION - EVERYONE CAN HAVE THEIR OPINION BUT DO NOT COMPARE WITH GHATAK, CATS WARRIOR, ETC. > Few months back in post #331 on page 17 i showed that Astr-1 cannot be staggered & only 4x possible in IWB. > Then a modified Astr-2 with short fin to aid in staggered positions in the IWB which would...

Since 1988 after revealing F-117, B-2 then YF-22/23 it has been now 37 years now into 5gen stealth era. India had IT boom in 1990s. We have much better Supercomputers than Param-2000. We've developed RAS, RAM now. This is the era of AI/ML which were engineering college subjects in 2000s also...

I should have posted this before F-47 announcement when advertisements about the preliminary NGAD design speculations of delta, cropped diamond wings were floating. So Versions 4, 5 related to that. And then V6c like SR-72, Darkstar.;):cool:

Some new poor quality images of TEDBF have emerged. It looks like modified Rafale. Even after IN indicating 5gen TEDBF, AFAIK there is no official response from ADA on it.

Version 3a & 3b with Lambda wing getting popular & nose triangular & double delta.

For AHCA to be naval stealth jet, we should have some size reference. On AMCA thread i showed comparison of AMCA & F-18 SH naval jet in medium class. A naval jet & a heavy class means Su-33 as best current example. A stealth jet & heavy class means F-22 as best current example. Let's compare...

Some people say that heavy class 6gen fighter RFI/RFP might get launched soon. https://idrw.org/6th-generation-fighter-plans-to-follow-while-amca-enters-trial-phase-iaf-official/ https://idrw.org/2040-india-eyes-2040-for-6th-gen-fighter-concept-with-double-amca-range-payload/ From IADN on FB:

USA, China, Russia, UK, all jet makers surprise the world suddenly revealing their new jets. But our Indian DoD is over-honest on release dates, that too exceptionally late. 🤦‍♂️:ROFLMAO:

Artist Rodrigo Avella & some others made a CAD earlier speculated to be tail-less F/A-XX with canards. Almost same model w/o canards have been depicted as NGAD, sometimes with rudders. Comparing it with F-22, equalized at cockpit, looks like following:

while searching for F-18 SH's stealth pod, i found F-18 SH stealth derivative by some artist on Reddit site: () BTW, this is 11 years ago Unfortunately 2D views of this 3D art are not available. We also had a caret-intake model earlier & F-18 SH has such identical intakes. So just for the...

YF-23's designer's conceptual view of F-47 NGAD: https://aviationweek.com/defense/aircraft-propulsion/yf-23-designer-offers-his-take-boeings-f-47-ngad-configuration F-22 is 62 ft. long & the drawing is quoted at 61 ft. which i don't is possible for a 6gen specs with bigger better engine...

I did the 10+4 concept with folding fin version of Astr-2 with regular solid fuel rocket motor. I had shown earlier in Dec'2024 about Astr-3 SFDR too. > current design of Astr-3 SFDR is making it difficult to fit more than 2x in each IWB due to its long Ramjet intakes. > if intakes are...

AMCA width 36'6" / length 57'9" / empty weight 12 tons / Internal fuel 6.5 tons. F-18E/F width 44'8" / length 60'1" / empty weight 14.5 tons / Internal fuel 6.7 tons. After seeing skinny 4gen F-18 SH with same 2x F414 engines & enjoying versatility of high loadout including EW pods, i decided to...
