- It is India’s next indigenous fighter and expected to make its first flight by 2032.
- It is built under India’s only fifth generation aircraft programme.
- The aircraft will feature geometric stealth which is different from material stealth feature.
- In material stealth, radar-absorbing materials are used to absorb the radio waves thus reducing the radar footprint.
- Whereas, in geometric stealth, the aircraft is designed at such angles to deflect away maximum radar waves to minimise radar cross section.
- Thus, the fighter will have low radar cross section, making it difficult for the enemy to spot it.
