I am sorry to spoil the party but did it go supersonic in level flight?<br /><br />I raise this doubt because the last information was that the aircraft weight was about 1300 kilos over design weight at the time of the IOC 2. Also there were problems with the intake engine matching.The usual prompt "achievement" newsflash about the weight has perhaps missed my notice.<br /><br />It would be damned difficult for any aeroplane to meet its designed performance if it had the problems mentioned above.<br /><br />Has the weight been corrected?Prodyutnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050542.post-56879624155495041572014-06-06T07:34:37.919+05:302014-06-06T07:34:37.919+05:30What is going on in Pic 3?

No point winging until such time that LCA is combat ready. If IAF doesnt go ahead with LCA then, then its a crime. Until then Kit-kat kao and wish LCA2 comes out soon.
