Isro starts countdown for GSLV-F05 launch
The countdown for the launch of Isro's advanced weather satellite INSAT-3DR on-board GSLV-F05 commenced at 11.10 hours on Wednesday...
Getting back to the topic.....
Lot of potential in the MRO business for India as we operate a substantial number of commercial aircrafts. The number is projected to grow exponentially in future.
The Indian Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) industry was worth USD 800 million in 2011 and...
Some stupidities have no end.
What similarities do you see in these two planes? (Don't say delta wings, that would be childish)
Maybe from side angle...
Nope , still no similarities!
Realize that there is a sea of difference between a pure delta and a cranked delta. The only impact...
I had the pleasure of visiting NMRL a few years ago and saw some of this tech with my own eyes. The AIP has been a major thrust area for NMRL (simplified, it is a rozi roti ka sawal for them).
This system is unique in the sense that it was developed to be better than the offered options...
The P-8I fleet of IN might benefit from this when the MRO capability for 737 comes online.
This apart, Nagpur has a great potential to be an aero industry hub owing to it's central location, hot and dry weather, availability of large swaths of land etc.
1. Next two tests should be for validating the basic design and functions, so expect both of them in next 12-18 mths.
2.Yes, you are right. But I was talking about challenges not priorities. Naval ship based and land based versions will be the easiest to develop. The AF and Sub version are a...
Congratulations to DRDO for the successful testing of Nirbhay LRCM! A long awaited event which has generated huge excitement and equally huge butthurt here on PDF.
Guys, we have had our fun and frolic celebrating the successful launch. It is time we analyse this missile...
Do not compare musical legends. Both of them are god's gifts to us mortals.
As for some misconceptions here....
1. Lataji is not just a playback singer she has done a lot of work with classical base. You have to listen to some of her non filmi songs to realise this.
If this sound is not...
This thread has lost its track! Just a few points to put the focus back on key issues.
1. This is not only about LCA!
Why do we forget that Dhruva, Rudra, LCH, Akash, pragati and many others (like EW systems,SONARS etc.) have a much higher potential of being a successful export...
Chyaa maari, ekach number! Aaplykadache potte bhetle re bawa! Nagpurcha mi! Punyale kiti jast janta aahe be?
@ Topic,
Can anyone from Bengaluru get us any fresh pics of LCH 2nd prototype. It has been a while!
A little correction here, brother! This is not Varunastra but Torpedo Advanced Light (TAL) aka Shyena developed by NSTL. It has already been ordered by IN. Varunastra is a heavy torp (look at the poster in the background)
Here is another pic of Shyena from Aero india.
As per the official brochure released by ADA.
