So far we have seen multiple CADs & static models with slight differences. Neither ADA nor the 3D artists release basic schematic diagrams, cross sections, configurations, etc. The ones available so far are low resolution & inadequate. It is difficult to confirm how the inducted jet will look...

Now ADA is in a dilemma on how to cater to IN. - tweak AMCA to N-AMCA - or tweak TEDBF to ATEDBF - or new design - when to officially initiate - define timeline keeping in mind global tech advancements. AMCA & current TEDBF would use same engines in twin config. so their dimensions, weight...

A collage of AMCA's CAD 2D front view projections from various artists, in different resolutions, some resized. If anybody has more 2D front views, diagram, sketch, etc, please share.

1:1 mockup, engineering model, static model, exhibit model, etc, whatever people wan't to call it, this exhibit model is made with wood &/or fiber. There are hardly any joints, rivets, real panels, etc. The static model is not for development into flight model. As per DRDO & PSU info on various...

There is an indication by IN about 5gen TEDBF, means complete stealth. Current TEDBF design could be scrapped or heavily modified. So this is different from the earlier linear roadmap which IMO is contributing problem rather than parallel, independent projects. We have our RAMs & RAS now...

Continuing the chain of posts for weapons in AMCA's IWB which is officially quoted 4.2m X 2.2m, After observing the designs of all BVR-AAMs made globally, and intention of F-35 & J-35 to increase their IWB capacity to 6 AAMs, I had shown by diagrams that only 4 big-fin Astr-1/2 AAMs can fit in...

After potential stealthy SAM hunter, AMCA has potential to engage naval & other surface targets also from stand-off distance. If we compare some present weapons like AGM-158A JASSM, JSM/NSM, Storm-Shadow/SCALP-EG, Taurus KEPD-350, SOM-J, etc then they're still bigger than IWB, but they can be...

A collage of CAD of current MR-BVR-AAMs. Their edges had to be cleaned in MS-paint in PNG format for good superimposition. Top to bottom: PL-15 Astr Mk1 Astr Mk3 SFDR R-77-1 Meteor AIM-120-D AMRAAM

I was going to create a generic global thread 6 months back but didn't. For now, bcoz all these jets are in conceptual phase & unrevealed yet, except B-21, J-36, J-50 upon whom also only preliminary visual stuff available, so i'll create a generic thread for all. For the revealed ones, members...

@Nilgiri Are there no threads for global 6th gen jets - NGAD, F/A-XX, FCAS, GCAP, B-21, etc? I saw only 2 Chinese specfic threads.

IWB versions of ARMs (Anti Radiation Missiles): Kh-58UShKE, 650 Kg, 4.2-4.8m long, 380-400 mm diameter, 149 Kg warhead, 250 Km range, Mach 3.6 AGM-88G AARGM-ER, 467 Kg, 13'4/4.06m long, 292mm diameter, 68 Kg warhead, 300 Km range, Mach 2.9 But Rudram-1 cannot fit in AMCA'a IWB. Rudram-1, 600 Kg...

SPOILER/HUMOR BREAKING NEWS 📰📺📻📡🛰️📱🔔⚠️🚨 Super-duper-Sukhoi revealed: :oops::rolleyes:o_O🤪 Have a good weekend.

I'm avoiding DSI due to more stealth hence the only other option is of F-22. - 1 engine of F414 class or AL-31/41/F-100/110 class initially. If USA gives just the F135 engine then nice 🤣 But still F-35 TWR is not like F-22. - 2 side intakes to make some IWB & SWB. - IWB can carry 4 BVR-AAMs or...

Geometric shaping came out publicly with USAF's ATF project in 1990. Many documentaries in 1990s shared interviews of their test pilots, chief designers, engineers, program managers, etc who said geometry alone reduces RCS a lot. Some of those videos are still available on Youtube. So in 30-35...

Now i'm thinking how about putting 3 AL-31/41 & making a Su-30MKI sized agile stealth fighter 😵 😂

The new J-36 is probably just a tech demonstrator but a derivative is/are probably coming next before 2030 perhaps & our Su-30MKI is our only heavy big fighter & will have to deal with it. Su-30MKI is 21.9m/72 ft long, empty weight 18.4 tons + internal fuel 9.6 tons, + 6 Astr-3 SFDR (1,320 Kg) +...

> Lately i showed that AMCA can carry 6 staggered short-fin BVR-AAMs & perhaps 8 staggered folding-fin BVRAAMs. > IDK if CCM could/should have folding fins. The AMCA design doesn't seem to address firing CCM from IWB. It doesn't have SWB. > But even all that may not be enough for a stealth jet...

Continuing on this agenda of internal load, 2 days back someone shared PL-15E AAM with folding fins from Zhuai airshow. AFAIK big/heavy missile do have folding fins but a medium missile is yet to be seen with AIM-120 AMRAAM, Meteor, etc. R-77 have folding grid fins. Now there is no CAD of...

Have a shocking:oops:😱, fainting😵🥴, LOLing😆😂😜, ROFLing🤣🙃 weekend

If the Ramjet intake is shortened then 6 Astr-3 SFDR AAMs might fit relatively better. But there could be military safety specs which may or may not allow this. We see Akash-1 SAM also has Ramjets which don't extend all the way backwards. The intake fairing in Meteor is long bcoz it houses...
