I see @Blackeyes90 lurking.... say something bro :LOL:

There's a mig 29 engine upgrade coming up apparently

Very high chance they will be become reality. Just matter of time. Hypersonic is no real huge change from supersonic regime (compared to subsonic to supersonic) in lot of fundamental physics involved etc. It is basically diminishing returns on the same set of issues supersonic faces. Much...

Lets agree to disagree then. Yes simulations + predictions are getting lot better, these will still always have some number of noticeable error/uncertainty ranges given number of assumptions and asymptotic issues that are present in the transforms for say Nearfield to Farfield modelling from...

Yeah a bit bigger perhaps, but I see no issue..... its a baked in issue to begin with when you have two engines vs one especially With one engine you can harness more of the intrinsic advantage in the spine being more flush to begin with given the engine centerlines with the cockpit naturally...

Good to see you here hyperman.

Looks like all brahmos in navy will be upgraded with extended range. ~ 2.4 billion USD

Bro who cares, haters gonna hate. India gets lot of hate from milestones too, it is what it is. Just get stuff done and prove the haters wrong. Simple.

Relative finishing touches for later.

If the canopy juts up above the planform/mantle of the aircraft, then the top down and side RCS is affected somewhat by the smoothing (the spine basically that is behind the canopy). The canopy glass etc itself is no problem to RCS, its a bad radar reflector. TF-X is a big aircraft already and...

Not really as RAM provides the final steps after what shaping has done in major way first. Shaping is by far the major bulk of the RCS reduction exercise in 5th gen. So I was talking about the shaping aspect and its measurement as it exists in this stage of Kaan's dev....in this case a flight...

It looks ready to me from first impression. The 2nd picture is with the accessory drive/gearbox (and fuel pumps, lines etc) so that is how it would look for when you mount it on aircraft that has these needs from/to the engine. Aircraft-engine interface stuff you can say. Those are not...

Oscar saying its unconfirmed speculation at this point. Let's see, give it some more time etc. We need to hear from the official govts.

A fighter jet program is simply not developing a jet but the scientific research that goes into the associated tech and establishing the required supply chain. After our LCA Tejas Mk-1 which used several Israeli, Russian, French and American sub-systems, majority of it were indigenized in the...

Yes for the first test flight, wheels all down. Wheels up is for next test flights....so we might see a luneberg lens then if its taking a longer circuit with more radar emission site possibility etc. I guess they will run it well inside interior near Ankara this time again anyway, so it might...

Simplistic take given the upfront capital costs amortized on just 90 now....including the AESA radar (not found on Su-35). Good luck getting a Su-35 "new" for 100 million bucks these days heh. Demand pulling that away from Russian production line given Ukraine war ....will be at least double...
