LCA -2 that is bigger in wing span, longer, lesser wave drag and different internal fuel load and weapons load hard-point, is from a controls perspective a different beast and extensive flight control test need to done to open teh envelop. Yes hardware development is not that much different but flight testing regime will be repeat of LCA-1.

I agree but the point is whether they are going for bigger wingspan etc? or they have dropped the idea?
