LCA Configuration

• Optimum Aerodynamic configuration evolved from extensive wind tunnel tests and Computational Fluid dynamic analyses.
• Tailless compound delta configuration with size and weight advantage and better close combat, high speed and high angle-of-attack characteristics.
• Relaxed Longitudinal stability with enhanced agility, maneuverability and performance
• Optimized wing camber & twist, careful wing-body blending and area ruled fuselage for minimum wave drag and good high speed handling.
• Wing-shielded bifurcated Y-duct air-intake with optimized diverter provides buzz free low distortion engine flow ensuring operability in entire envelope.
• Leading edge slats scheduled for high angle-of-attack maneuvers and combat
