Aero scientists pull off LCA, struggle with IJT, Saras

@Sandy-Nice to know that we have engineers like you at HAL.Can you explain to me as to why we(HAL-Nashik) produce only 15(I do not know the
exact number!) Su-30MKI's per year?Also have we added more composites to the 2011 MKI when compared to 2003 MKI as some say or has no change taken place(Structurally and also the avionics)??

There are many answers to this question :

First EOQ: Economic order quantity

HAL is a PSU not a government LAb and has to be a profitable venture. HAL is not provided any discounts by the MoD/Air force for being patriotic and producing a large quantity.

Approximate numbers of production is established by MoD/HAL/Planning Commission

HAL also has to maintain Overhaul lines for existing product


Apart from economic reasons, you dont want 20 aircrafts entering overhaul in the same period 10-15 years from now. SU 30MKI is a very complex and big aircraft so it pretty much dries up the entire manpower of HAL for production. Also Al31F is a very complex engine to manufacture.

No, we haven't added structural modification or change in material, because that will make the aircraft go through flight testing , IOC FOC all that stuff which will hinder production. Its better for the original designers of aircrafts to come up with upgrades working with HAL design teams to get it approved by IAF first and then enter production once every subsystem is tested.

]What do you mean?.. are they working with billions??[/B].. see the amount of investment given to them and compare it with other Aeronautical agencies..

What makes you think Otherwise?? Please see the Amount of Investment given by the Govt apart from there annual Turnover....

Its simple- LCA is manufactured by Israelis-
The real indigenous aircraft india is trying to make is IJT and is failing miserably- and planes are crashing badly-
Good Day-

Dont take Chance when you Have been Hopeless when it comes to both Making Aircrafts and Proving your statement....
