There is SCB technology available in India now but GTRE has not asked for it since right now their task is to perfect the kaveri with DS blades for HP and change current DS blades in LP to equiaxed to reduce vibration and fly it to make a reliable engine. Once that is done they will start...

AgustaWestland deal: CBI probe ordered, helicopter delivery put on hold - Indian Express Chopper deal Following the arrest of Finmeccanica CEO Guiseppe Orsi and two Italian middlemen in Italy today, the Ministry of Defence has ordered a probe into the VVIP chopper deal that Orsi is accused of...

Many Propellants and mixtures were tried out before coming to the conclusion of the current one considering all the trade offs as per seminar given on AI-13

The problem was ALH was built by HAL who knew about helicopters. ADA or GTRE had no idea about planes or Engines before they started LCA and Kaveri. That was a major fault. If MOD wanted they should have separated out HAL Engine division whihc has developed PTAE-7 and building adour and other...

Saying things that we are secular is not enough. All minorities should feel safe. I doubt that will be there when BJP is in power. Our constitution itself is built around the fact that minorities right will be protected and they will have lots of reservation over majority. If not we will like...

The parts are going to be lighter not the whole plane. Its a bigger plane so definitely heavier but many things are going for version 2 in LCA-2. They have chose LCA-MarkII only cos there was no ending of upgrading things every day as per ADA. so they decided to freeze and build what is coming...

This air show was the worst in terms of flying and best interms of indian SME's and exhibitors. No Typhoon, gripen, F-18, mig-35, IJT, Saras etc. Atleast Mig-29UPG and Mig 29K would have made it better. Su-30 did not push the plane like last time. Tejas did some maneuvers but he did not push it...

I hope they select newer western engine than PS-90A2. Rolls Royce, Pratt and Whitney and GE are at least a generation ahead in civilian engine tech in terms of serviceability, MBTF and fuel consumption along with spare issue and commonality with aero engines in the region. Only IAF Il-76 use...

Most people including me and the government in India want to see Pakistan in a better position than it is today. Not for the love or anything but a stable neighbor would be better for us. If Pakistan has realized no Terrorist is good for the country may it be taliban or LeT then well and good...

TOT is useless??? Astra microwave got Tot for AESA for LRTR. now the T/R modules they make are better than the ones supplied by Israel. and they developed 1/8 size of what they supplied and so on... just an example. see the 100's of SME's present at AI-13 who got part of Tot's and their...

Sorry I was busy trying to get something about what ADA was developing so forgot to ask. He was showing me some LRU and products they used for reducing weight. Mark 2 parts will be lighter. They were sheding off some weight from the gearbox and Jet fuel starter version 2, Intially plans were to...

AI update: Time required for changing LCA engine right now is 1 to 1.5 hour but BEML is making the right trolley and lift for ADA which will make engine remove and refit time to be less than 20 minutes with all connectors removal etc etc. Weight reduction program for LCA mark-1 is complete. As...

For many who do not know. There are 5 IJT flying. Delay is in flight certification of Al-55 engine. IOC will be this year for IJT. HAL is ready to produce IJT.

Update from AI-2013 ADA working on some unmanned project other that UCAV, could be AURA and says he cant talk abt it. Its completed design phase and will be ahead of AMCA. Stealth features would be higher that AMCA. one problem with LCA delay is Airforce it seems. Before only cemilac and HAL...

EXACTLY!!! you are right, we should address the source. India made mistake with LTTE, we learnt we changed when we realised our mistake. will ISI and Pakistan military accept and change with regards to JeM, LeT and others. If that happens we wont have had this. Terrorism is hugely funded and...

its not that DRDO cant make, army has to issue GSQR for the same. many a times DRDO started project based on Army GSQR for long range guns and half way they cancel or change the GSQR. that why DRDO stopped big guns before. even the MSMC is not based on any GSQR is what I know. Now they have made...

Flying record on Cheetah is not very bad like the Mig21's. If the choppers dont meet the requirement of the forces whats the point in buying them. Even if the deal falls thru by the time the negotiation is over and first ones arrive, HAL LUH would be flying with IOC. they wont take as much...

By the time the deal falls thru, HAL would be flying LUH. Lowest bidder, negotiations etc are gonna take a long time. I guess LUH ground test vehicle is ready. Unlike ALH and LCH, this is not gonna take that much time. And this is just HAL's baby. No ADA involved. If the engine is ready they...

Delay in LSP and TD was from ADA, not HAL, HAL is just contractor like many others for LCA. delay in SP will be from HAL after setting up of production line is setup. IJT and LCH is HAL's baby and they are to be blamed for delays
