Aircraft digital flight-control: Stability airplane design 06/10

Since the Tejas aircraft is a relaxed static stability airplane design, it is equipped with a quadruplex digital fly-by-wire flight control system to ease handling by the pilot. The Tejas aircraft aerodynamic configuration is based on a pure delta-wing layout with shoulder-mounted wings.

While originally planned to be fitted on production aircraft, delays in the development of MMR prompted the DRDO to co-operate with Israel Aerospace Industries to integrate a Hybrid version of the EL/M-2032radar for use with the Tejas. The EL/M-2032 radar used in LSP-3 has a detection and tracking range of up to 150 km in air-to-air mode, the air-to-ground mode generates high resolution radar imagery of locations at up to 150 km, and air-to-sea mode can detect and classify naval targets at ranges of up to 300 km.Another track System is an infrared search and track system (IRST).
