Aircraft digital flight-control: Inner aircraft wing 07/10

Tejas aircraft control surfaces are all hydraulically actuated. The aircraft wing’s outer leading edge incorporates three-section slats, while the inboard sections have additional slats to generate vortex lift over the inner aircraft wing and high-energy air-flow along the airplane tail fin to enhance high-AoA stability and prevent departure from controlled flight.

It features look-up and look-down modes, low, medium, high pulse repetition frequencies (PRF), platform motion compensation, doppler beam-sharpening, moving target indication (MTI), Doppler filtering, constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection, range-Doppler ambiguity resolution, scan conversion, and online diagnostics to identify faulty processor modules.

The airframe of the naval variant of the Tejas will be modified with a nose droop to provide improved view during landing approach, and wing leading edge vortex controllers (LEVCON) to increase lift during approach.
