After 16 Years and Rs 300 Crore, Civil Aircraft Dream Crashlands

Yeah, really good decision. You do all the hard work, complete 85% of the work and then scrap the project, because of some accident.
Reminds me of DRDO AWACS project which was scrapped in the 90s due to similar reasons.
Maybe be after 2 decades, we will again start this project and start working from scratch.

DRDO AWACS has been revived.

@Skull and Bones is Mahindra buying this off NAL??
 
I heard rumors from reliable sources, still won't bet my life on that. ;)

Bdw, most of the rumors about the sub surface fleet has turned out to be true. :D

You're talking about Reliance building nuke subs? If Mahindra takes it over then the project will not only be revived but do well. I do hope that happens.
 
That 50 Million USD is quite expensive when compare with Indonesia 19 Passenger Turbo prop airplane program (N 219) only US$34.43 million.

--------------------
Head of The National Aviation and Space Agency Gunawan S. Prabowo, said that currently, his team and state-owned aircraft company Dirgantara Indonesia are developing the N 219 aircraft. The budget for this research is Rp 400 billion (around US$34.43 million). Currently, the N 219 is at the first design phase. The project started in 2004 and it is targeted for completion in 2016. The N 219 is speculated to have an economic value of US$3.8 million. The plane uses two engines powered by 850 shaft horsepower each. The plane can do a short take off, so it only requires 500 to 600 meters of runway, and is designed to carry cargo.

Great effort by Indonesia! Looking forward to its maiden fight this year! Indonesia's N250 project was a remarkable achievement, thought a short lived dream due to 1998 financial crisis.

No, i mentioned about the design of SSK and in house AIP back in 2012. And not to forget the SSN thing.
