Coming to LCA topic if you think that Philip Rajkumar and HAL Chairman are more near to the truth then it would mean that LCA would see (i) lengthening of fuselage, (ii) which will also lead to longer wing chord i.e. bigger wing, (iii) redesigned, lighter & lighter lower fuselage (iv) AESA etc. This means a very different aircraft.

Yes. Lot of similarity (read common assemblies, as well as know-how, labs and people), but neverthless a new beast, and with the experience of LCA the team can take on this new engineering challenge with confidence and I think this time will deliver on time.
