I do understand that but look at your first pic. You see that the canard is attached to the main body. If the canard moves like that of the Gripen then it would hit the inlet… (downward movement) You can see that it is one pice and moveable where it connects with the body… And I doubt they will make a version with same design as the viggen…


How can tha canards move downwards if the inlets are in their way?
Thanks for explaining. Finance. How could I miss that. Maybe diversity. Appreciated.
Somehow I never understood the principle of making first a lightweight agile fighter and then adding so much that the basic concept is totally gone. It is like making the F16 an aircraftcarrier plane… Or like making the Bis an interdiction plane… They have the Eagle… Why this?

But two wingtanks, 1 belly tank, conformal and no weapons? Are they testing the range…
Just like NASA… Purely to get budget….
Doesn’t look pretty with large fuel tanks and conformals….
Allways a joy. Thanks for sharing.
We all know how long it took to get LCA and FC1 in the air. We shall see how this bird develops but it is major leap forward. Ang good for us aviation lovers.
Dear PLA, its called testing, ever heard of it, stuff happens, the second prototype is alive and flying.
Sharma. It was just a copy paste from the magazine we all know here (AFM). Why don’t you write them to correct this in the next edition? Man. Some just can’t move their complex and share the joy of aviation.
That is why some planes fly low level and some not… With huge loads and lot of air to pass through… That takes a lot of reserves.

Indian AF/HAL HJT-36 IJT S3474 (2nd prototype)
Due to reported failure to follow safety procedures during a simulated ejection excercise inside the prototype hangar at Bangalore, the front seat fired and shot up through the roof of the hangar before falling back on the roof. A pilot in the rear seat suffered facial burns, and an engineer was injured.
Well we had a very nice cocnlusion somewhere above. Let me be direct and fair. Every killed person is wrong. And there are many masacres around the world. But the jewish people have used that very effective. I do not want to put negative image on this. You can even say that we should admire their strategy. There are a lot of genocides or slavery queations in the world but Shoah keeps coming back to earn cash or change policies. Arabs have been slaughtered often. Look had northern african states. And yet nobody knows that it ever took place. Just like some african genocides…
Well Vik, Some time ago I read about the topgun navy pilots of the US did some training with venezuelan mirages(?). They were swooped…
Not only claxons but also countdown. And probably he just turned aroun dthe corner when the real flash came…
