It has completed cdr meaning they made the specifications and drawings of every part of plane. They just need to manufacture it. So, it is not a dream, but at high stage of development.
They have already spent years developing the tech, now they are going to manufacture it as cdr has been made meaning every drawing of every part has been made and is ready to manufacture.
Tejas MK2 and AMCA may have many common Tech , But GaN based AESA Radar has to b developed and Tested.
The Radar is developed, but circuits will be changed to GaN from GaAs.
some untested system has to b tested on AMCA even Radar absorbing paint has to b Tested on it may b Tejas MK2 will b Test Bed for some Tech Like Smart Cockpits, sensor Fusion .Radar absorbing paint etc...........
Aap kya real Mungeri Lal ho kya?
"If all goes according to the plan, the AMCA's maiden Flight is slated for September 2028", this is the catch, 5th gen stealth fighter jets doesn't fall through the roof from the sky instantly, it will take a very long time to slowly mature, so the Korean KAI approach, would be the best way for us, make a 4.75 AMCA in the shape of 5th gen jet first and slowly optimize that to fully 5th gen jet, Countries who have many years of experience in Aerospace have struggled, we are only Baby Stepping into aerospace, KAI KF-21 and KHAN are 4th gen jets covered with 5th gen costumes, KAI is atleast 4.75 gen jet, Tempest and FCAS are struggling, SU-57 and J20/FC-31 are going through iterations of changes to mature, F35 is still going through a lot of issues.
Heard a rumor it will even go to outer space, let lone rivaling F22.😁😂
na man, F-22 is too much. but AMCA can be at par with Su-57 and J-20. I share your optimism regarding timelines.
AMCA MK1 is 5.5 Gen while AMCA MK2 may have 6th Gen Tech
yes and some Tech may b borrowed from MRFA winner too.
Maybe, but I doubt it. AMCA mk2 might have MRFA tech.
