ADA to Refine Air Intake and Canards Design of Tejas Mk2 After Crucial Wind Tunnel Tests in France

Actually the engine was finalized in 2010 when GE was working on the india specific variant.

I know, I have been closely following the program since 2012. But that actually makes it even worse that they did not realize the modifications to core design required during PDR/CDR.

But still too fat to Super Cruise, how about ADA didn’t know about ONERA five years ago, why are they still testing the aerodynamics when they should be rolling out the prototype.

If they know the design is imperfect for first prototype then why are thy working on old design, They should take more time to fix the design

may be because of cost and time, also we could only make small changes to the original design.
