The design of third prototype of LCH-TD3 is under final stages incorporating all the feedback from
development flight testing of other two prototypes: TD1 and TD2. In order to assess the impact of design changes on cockpit, a mockup has been fabricated and completed on January 16, 2013 at RWRDC. Specific features of TD-3 as compared to the earlier prototypes are : reduced cockpit length (226 mm) and height (60 mm), improved door configuration, vision optimization with modified perspex area, modified door locking and Jettison mechanism, modified rudder pedals for gunner and rationalized switches and switch panels. Nearly 50% of the parts and assemblies on the mockup have been built using Rapid Prototyping technology which enabled the build-up of the mockup within a time frame of three months. The mockup would be evaluated by HALpilots and customer pilots for ingress / egress and other ergonomic aspects.
The evaluation of the Cockpit Mockup was c o m m e n c e d i n presence of Shri P. S o u n d a r a r a j a n , MD(HC), Shri M.S. Srinath, ED(HC), Dr. M.Vijayakumar, Offg. G M ( R C ) a n d Gp.Capt.(Retd.) Hari Na i r f r om F l i g h t Operations (RW).
Productivity Week Observed Across HAL
IJT/LSP
Productivity week was celebrated at IJT/LSP on February 18, 2013. Shri T. K. Mandal, GM(IJT),
inaugurated the event and in his address, he emphasized the need of innovative approach in our
daily activities. He and other senior officers distributed prizes to winners of the competitions.
