Indian aerospace company Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) announced that in the second week of March construction of the first prototype fifth generation fighter under the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) program began. The aircraft is expected to be a medium weight twin engine design focused primarily on air to ground missions but also capable in air to air combat. It will be built around a radar cross section reducing stealth airframe. The fighter will use fourth generation engines, namely the American F414, providing less thrust than the Su-30 fighters already in Indian service and ensuring that the fighter will be unable to supercruise or to match the flight performances of other fighters of its generation. India’s ability to develop a fifth generation fighter has repeatedly been brought to serious question, with the country’s attempt to develop a lightweight fourth generation fighter taking over 40 years #inshort #amca #stealth #fighter #indian #tejas #hal
