AMPL emerges as L1 for AAAU for AMCA
I wonder if Data Pattern also participated in bidding.
AMCA's AAAU is similar in size to that of F-35 and J-35's aperture. Smaller than F-22 and J-20's aperture.
They have tons of experience in this field now, so it was more or less a given that they would get the contract for developing the AAAU unit for the AMCA.
Initial outline of notional cockpit.
1 piece canopy w/o arc.
HMDS instead of HUD.
60 x 24 cms TV, i mean MFD.
From F-22 to F-35, we notice many hard switches, buttons, dials, knobs have been offloaded to MFD & HMDS.
This Reliance and Rolls Royce partnership is really weird ,to say the least
RIL has no experience in this field or rather in any HI Tech
Manufacturing

I just hope they don't make mistake what Mahindra did and simply allow Rolls Royce to completely design it. The Reliance just have to sit and fund.
So world biggest annual mujra organizer going to screw drive jet engines now. Roll-Royce going with Reliance is a good move though, since all the money made would be invested back in London property market. Win-Win for both mujra family & UK 
could u suggest some sites or article to know more abt this
interferometer antenna ( afik FA18 Sh b3 , typhoons , rafales have it ) and F35 ofc
and does it have level to it ??? like diff anttenas types or digital arcitecture ??

Yeah and why did they move RWR antennas that were all bunched together on the tail of MK1 to wingtips of each wing in Mk1A if not to run interferometry and TDOA?
+You'll need accurate direction if you are going to cue the EW with internal "RWR". It's no longer just an "RWR" but rather an ESM system.
Thread about AMca radar & AESA Single Array Sensor Fusion
Different static models & CADs have shown minor differences in fuselage shaping & features.
I wonder which forward & mid fuselage blending contour style is best balance b/w aerodynamics, stealth, needed space.
This will affect components like S-duct, fuel tanks, sensors, etc.
I guess i'll have to make the S-Duct 1st & see if it gets out of any contour boundary.
Then decide the contour, then place the surface sensors & features.
Theoretical straight segments diverging S-Duct.
Engine face not visible through corner of DSI intake for stealth.
Duct cuts through IWB's front upper part.
Theoretically, space for SWB also available but in a medium class jet perhaps that's needed for sufficient internal fuel & equipment. Later i'll check CAD body volume & compare with other jets.

Damn! almost 2 years passed so fast. I wish i searched for Blender's old version many years back.
Anyways, considering notional Astr-2 short-fin AAM length = 3.84 m, diameter = 178 mm, fin-span = 530 cm.
IWB length = 4.2 m, depth = 0.75 m max, width = 2.3 m.
The IWB cannot be perfectly cuboid, but dynamic as per all the weapons needed & equipment around it.
Wouldn't that angular elevation of the inlet change the trim of the aircraft, as the air flows into the duct and strikes the walls of the inlet in upward direction. And to counter balance it you need some kind of changes. This is experimental value most probably and then thrust plays it's own role.
You asked a PhD question. An aerodynamics pro can tell you best.As general citizens we can observe that it's happening in all stealth jets, manned & unmanned. Also, since decades of past jets, we have seen so many types & shapes of intakes on all sides - below, sides, top. So we don't need to worry about it here.
However, scratching my low IQ head losing hair, if the suction causes some imbalance then definitely FCS has to balance it.
Suction might work little differently Vs blowing out.
Searching internet, i found that at supersonic speeds also, the air changes direction & reduces speed past series of shock wave barriers.
In side intakes, before entering the intake, the air is slowed & deflected outward &/or downward. Then further slowed inside intake & duct.
So during suction the air could be played with more Vs blowing it out at high pressure at supersonic speed.
Isn't 10.5kw cooling capacity for 5th gen radar a bit less ??
F-35 has much higher, specially block 4(current one).
