Whatever happens, I just hope the long-term performance of the carrier won’t be limited due to boiler limitations. It’d be a shame if she were to travel at no more than 18-20 knots for the next 30 years of her career.:(
I think you are being optimistic. I doubt this piece of junk would be used by IN for more than 10 years.
I know this thread is about Tejas and F-50. Lessons must have been learnt from Tejas Mk1 data. Does ADA have the design know how to exploit that data to significantly improve Tejas Mk2 drag characteristics?
Tejas Mk2 is supposed to have lower drag thanks to the nose plug.
Other modifications have already been implemented in Tejas Mk1 to reduce drag further. These are visible in LSP 7.
