Do we expect navy changing its mind and adopting it..i dont know whther a thrust of 90kn will cut it for navy aircraft its half of a mig29Now it's NLCA Mk1 NP1's turn after the NP2 show.
NP1 landed on the aircraft carrier.
Hot refuelled.
Did ski-jump.
Landed again.
Hot refuelled.
Did ski-jump again, to base.
Like I said, already more reliable than the MiG29K.
The reason for successive refuelling is simple. In testing stage, you've to be ready to return to base at every possibility of abort.
Probably no , Navys biggest demand is twin engine. This is just a Tech demonstratorDo we expect navy changing its mind and adopting it..i dont know whther a thrust of 90kn will cut it for navy aircraft its half of a mig29
Only if it's an emergency. Unlikely.Do we expect navy changing its mind and adopting it..i dont know whther a thrust of 90kn will cut it for navy aircraft its half of a mig29

Although the engine is likely powered down here, which doesn't make it true hot-refuel.
They made a few congratulatory/celebratory tweets, posted the photos, and made it clear that this is still a TD by talking about the TEDBF:Any word on this development by the IN?

With this feat, the indigenously developed niche technologies specific to deck based fighter operations have been proven, which will now pave the way to develop and manufacture the Twin Engine Deck Based Fighter for the #IndianNavy.
