What's makes it worlds most Dangerous Fighter
Specifications:
Design:
It would be a single-seat stealth all-weather multirole supersonic fifth generation Aircraft. It's length, height would be possibly 17.2 m and 4.8 m. AMCA 's wing area is around 39.9 square metre and Gross weight is around 18 tonnes. Maximum takeoff weight is approximately 29 tonnes. And fuel capacity is around 6.5 tonnes.
Firepower:
AMCA will comes with a 23 mm GSH-23 main cannon. It's capable for launching Air to Air missiles (AAM) like Astra (MK-1,MK-2,MK-3), NGCCM(Next Generation Close Combat missile,which will be designed and developed by DRDO) , SEDR.

Propulsion:
There will no confirmed details about AMCA's engine. But it will expected that the MK-1 variant of it need a 98 KN thrust and MK-2 varient needs 110 KN thrust. And primarily the 98 KN thrust engine will delivered by General Electric's F414 afterburn turbofan engine. It's assumed that it could be reach upto 2.5+ mach and it will trouble upto 1,400 km in combat and 5,323 km in Ferry. It's service ceiling height is 20,000 m and it's rate of climb will be 300 m/s.
Radar And Sensor Syatems:
AMCA will comes with superior avionics sensor suits as same like every fifth generation fighters.
It's will also equipped with new generation GaN based AESA for superior detection and performance. Currently there is no fighter jet's has GaN based radar.
AMCA's Sensors are jointly developed by LRDE, BEL and many other privet contributers. AMCA comes with a self protection jammer system to jam enemy radar guided missiles, Electronics counter measure system to confuse the infrared guided missiles and a radar warning receiver.
