perttime:
Any chance of a whole Sea Harrier forward fuselage (cockpit and radar) fitting? The Sea Harrier fuselage looks much more rounded than the squarish section Jaguar, though.
Medium range missiles might depend on what radar nose you use.

Does that sound good?

Yup!  go for it   :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: 

Or you could go with a Mirage F.1 forward fuselage.

jcf:
You'd need better, more powerful engines, which require more air which would drive changes
to the intake design, which would drive fuselage changes and so on and so on ...

The narrow, slab-sided fuselage couldn't fit a decent AI radar so you'd either need to redesign
the forward fuselage or accept a smaller diameter dish and a bulged nose.

Realistically by the time you made all the necessary changes you'd basically end up with a
twin-engined Mirage F1.

Kelmola:
It seems that they did not want to redesign the entire wing, so to get both a larger wing and LERX they ended up with the idea of tacking on absolutely massive LERX (in relation to the size of the wing) which would hopefully have been a minor modification? They "fit" the Jag's otherwise sleek lines so "well" that the development is almost worthy of a honourable Blackburn title.

GTX_Admin:
One could adopt some of the mods the Indians have added/looked at such as:


* More powerful, lighter Honeywell F125IN engines
* EL/M-2052 AESA radar
