Sukhoi-30 MKI and LCA Tejas Both are best fighter in Indian Air Force. Comparing means to know something better than previous by relating with other. To know more clearly about these two aircrafts we make a comparison of Su-30MKI Vs. LCA Tejas.
Su-30MKI is the heavy , all weather , twin finned , long range fighter which introduced in Indian Air force in September 2002 whereas LCA Tejas is a single-engined multirole fighter with a tailless compound delta wing plan form. It is supersonic and highly manoeuvrable fighter, and it is the smallest and lightest contemporary combat aircraft. It is introduced in 2010.
Su-MKI Vs. LCA Tejas Engine Comparison
The Su-30MKI is powered by two Al-31FP turbojet engines. Its Each engine generates a full after burn thrust of 27,500 pound. The power plant, equipped with thrust vector control, provides a maximum speed of Mach 1.9 in horizontal flight and a rate of climb of 300m/s.
The aircraft has a maximum unrefuelled flight range of 3,000km at high altitude and 1270 km at low altitude(with no external fuel tanks).but also The in-flight refuelling system of Su-30MKI provides a maximum range of 8,000km with two refuelling whereas LCA Tejas is powered by General Electric F414 afterburning turbofan engine which generates thrust of 22,000 pound And provides a maximum speed of 1.8 Mach. The aircraft has a range of 850 km at low altitude.
Su-MKI Vs. LCA Tejas Design-Airframe
The Su-30MKI is a twin engine aircraft. Its airframe is made up of titanium and high-strength aluminium alloys. The fuselage head made of semi-monocoque construction and includes the cockpit, radar compartments and the avionics bay.
On the other side LCA Tejas is constructed of aluminium-lithium alloys, carbon-fibre composites (C-FC), and titanium-alloy steels. Its fuselage, wings, elevons, tailfin, rudder, air brakes and landing gear doors are made from Carbon-fibre composites which almost comprises of 45% of its airframe by weight.
Su-MKI Vs. LCA Tejas Avionics Equipped
Avionics include Laser-optical locator system and Litening targeting Pod in Su-30MKI.This fighter is fitted with a satellite navigation system which permits it to make flights in all kinds of weathers and even in nights also. Other navigation includes high accuracy SAGEM Sigma-95 integrated global positioning system and ring laser gyroscope inertial navigation system.
Whereas LCA Tejas is equipped with Both GPS and a ring laser gyro inertial navigation system. And also it is employed with Terrain Referenced Navigation (TRN) system .Its avionics include Night vision Goggles(NVG),three 5 x 5 multi-function displays, two Smart Standby Display Units (SSDU) and “GET YOU HOME” PANEL.
