主题：【原创】印度LCA战机的教练型也难产（上） -- daharry
不过作战半径只有800公里，只适合小国。
wiki上有一段很有趣：
外销贵一些，4000万应该能够拿下来了。JAS-39也就是4000万美元
LCA也打算从F404升级到F412，这能看出原来的机身实在是太小了~
相信这样的屈辱他们也受过不少。换上中国人早就悲愤地去砸锅卖铁攒“争气机”了。
可反观老印——“知耻而后勇”这句话似乎不出现在他们的辞典上
采用了AL-31的技术，推力16.9kN，推重比5.6（自重335kg），在没有加力燃烧室的情况下，推重比已经很高了。寿命也比较长，2000h。
不过，AL-55的原型是燃气发动机，是用于地面上的，烧天然气~
2100年实现教练型定型试飞
英文单词库扩容百分之五——看来要学好英文，多看三哥国防部的新闻是正道啊！
有点当年意大利的感觉啊，不知道美国被傍上这么个小弟是什么感受。
对了，不知道奥黑这次来亚洲，印度是怎么报道的？
三个终于顶不住了。。。费那么大劲，最后还是外包给别人做，还不如直接买一架呢。

为何此时印度急于加快发展该型战斗机？印度海军如此执着地发展该型战斗机到底出于何种目的？
基础薄弱 指标过高
前不久，印度海军高调宣布，向国内厂商订购6架海军型LCA战斗机，且为每架战斗机出资约3000万美元。而据印度官方透露，印方原本打算与美国军火巨头洛克希德-马丁公司进行合作，希冀后者能为航母舰载型的LCA轻型战斗机最终上台阶提供“有效”的帮助，不过合作计划没能通过美国政府的审批。也许印度因受到美方的上述刺激，而被迫作出了如此强烈的反应。
长期以来，印度海军在发展LCA战斗机项目上一拖再拖，迟迟难以成军，的确感到很没面子。实际上，早在上个世纪80年代初，印度就提出研发LCA轻型战斗机，以替代印度空军大量装备的苏制米格-21战斗机。按照最初的设想，LCA 的研发目标是一种轻型超音速多用途战斗机，完全可以满足21世纪前20年的作战需要。但由于印度工业，特别是其航空工业基础十分薄弱，要想在短期内完成设计、研发任务，很难实现。特别是最终要建成，并及早装备这样一款“有相当作战能力”的舰载机肯定难度不小。
除了印度航空工业基础薄弱外，印度官方给LCA定的指标过高，期望值也太大。多年来，印度有关部门迫于各种压力，不断升级LCA的各种战技术指标，恨不得各方面都瞄准国际一流技术和水平，所以使得飞机原型机出厂一拖再拖。大家都知道，印度1980年就对外公布了LCA计划，但直到l0年后才勉强完成整体设计；1995年才造出第一架技术验证机。原本定于1996年首次试飞的验证机，却迟迟拖到2001年1月4日才离地升空。
ＩＤＦ的净重为６５００千克.两台民用发动机的加力之和为８４千牛。
如果一切顺利，将于2015年服役

NEWS FLASH... PV-5 Tejas twin-seater makes a successful 30 minute flight!!
Air Marshall Tyagi (centre) with Dr D Banerjee (DRDO, CC Aerospace). Rohit Verma is next to Tyagi, while Gp Capt Tyagi flanks Banerjee.
PV-5 takes off from the HAL airfield in Bangalore. The twin-seater has not yet been painted... the yellow is the colour of the composites from which most of the skin is made
This is the DRDO release, issued at 18:30 hours today:
TEJAS TRAINER MAKES SUCCESSFUL MAIDEN FLIGHT
Two seater (Trainer) version of Tejas (PV-5) made its maiden flight on 26 Nov 09. The flight took off from HAL,Airport at 1300 hrs. The successful maiden flight covered an altitude of 9km and Mach number 0.85. The prototype was flown by Gp Capt Ritu Raj Tyagi of the National Flight Test Centre (NFTC). Air Cmde Rohit Varma, Project Director (Flight Test) flew in the rear cockpit. Wg Cdr (Retd) PK Raveendran, Group Director (Flight Test) was the Test Director. Extensive preparatory work that has gone in resulted in the first flight profile being executed with clock work precision. All the objectives set out for the flight were achieved and all the systems on board the new prototype performed well through out the sortie.
Successful flight of Tejas trainer is a major milestone for Tejas programme and a significant achievement for all the stake holders in the programme, which include ADA, HAL, NAL, ADE, CEMILAC, DGAQA, Indian Air Force and Indian Navy. With the Tejas scheduled to be cleared for Initial Operations with the Indian Air Force by end 2010, successful maiden flight of Tejas trainer has given a fillip to the programme. The trainer when fully developed will have the full operational capability from the rear cockpit as well. As Tejas Trainer has a lot of commonality with Tejas Naval version, even Tejas Navy programme would see accelerated progress as a result of the successful first flight.
As the first flight coincided with the programme review by the Air Force, the historic event was witnessed by Air Mshl NV Tyagi, AVSM, VM, VSM, who was the Chairman of the Review Committee along with Mr Ashok Nayak, Chairman, HAL, Chief Controller, DRDO Dr D Banerjee and Mr PS Subramanyam, Programme Director (Combat Aircraft) & Director, ADA.
但后座是“旅客座”，无法操控。教官座无法操控，这样的教练机天下第一！
GTRE消息，the engine would be ready by March or April next year and it will be fully ready for integration in one year's time.
这明显是在钓鱼，现在只有一台Kaveri在俄国测试，就算everything OK，就敢上单发的LCA？！
GTRE真敢忽悠啊，我看哪个试飞员敢飞。
