MACHINIST - CTTC, Bhubaneswar to produce certain Control System components for LCA

Bhubaneswar: The Central Tool Room & Training Centre (CTTC), Bhubaneswar has been identified by Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) as the production centre for the bulk production of Fuel and Environmental Control System components for Light Combat Aircraft (LCA).

The Center for Military Airworthiness & Certification (CEMILAC) selected CTTC for successful absorption of manufacturing technology of these components, after assessing for bulk production capability. The components have been validated through special tests on the components manufactured by CTTC.

Shri PS Subramaniam, PGD (CA), Director, ADA and Dr K Tamilmani, CE, CEMILAC, jointly issued the certificate to Shri Sibasis Maiti, General Manager, CTTC, to recognise as the production centre for manufacturing of Fuel and Environmental Control System components of LCA in the presence of Shri Satyananda Mishra, Information Commissioner, Govt of India.

The design and development of the Fuel and Environmental Control System components was done by Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) in association with Government Tool Room and Training Centre (GTTC), Bangalore.

this is official video.and it states that the empty weight of LCA is 6500kg?

how the hell it is lighter then Jf-17..

and the video states that it take off weight is 9500kg then it means it carries only 3500kg weapons..
the specs about weight is at 5:10

It was supposed to be the lightest aircraft and it is ..no surprise in that...The final goal was to keep the weight at 5500-5800 Kgs. It is still a little over weight.

Regarding the take off weight-- that is TOW in clean config.

Because of more use of composite.

this is really a good news. we are having one-by-one news that the private players are involved in the manufacturing of LCA. previously TATA was selected for producing some composite components.

really good.

 

[GUNS-N- ROSES]

good news abt private participation.

 

[Young Wolf]

Is there going to be any weight reduction in lca mk2?? i cant find any such news ...or do they not need to reduce weight considering the more powerful engine?

 

[sathya]

IAF wants more capability so there is no chance of wt reduction instead aircraft itself is going to get bigger

i mean does it means still the weight of LCA is 6500kg?

or it is reduced.

while from this video it quotes the empty weight of LCA is 6500kg which is similer to jf empty weight

while wiki quotes that LCA empty weight is 5500kg..

 

[farhan_9909]

Because of more use of composite.

How is it lighter then Jf-17 when jf-17 empty weight is 6400kg while LCA empty weight is 6500kg?

it means right now Jf-17 is the world lightest 4th generation aircraft..

That's what he meant, it was planed to be lighter, but apart from engine and other things it gets heavier as planed. EADS is working with ADA/HAL on that issue and it is not clear at the moment what the weight of LCA is. HAL said on Defexpo this year that the weight is 5800Kg.

 

[sathya]

if india can get diverterless air intake tech from france , it will reduce some 300 to 400 kgs..
can the F 414 s6 or the kaveri -snecma be fitted with thrust vector?
is any one operating a single engine aircraft with thrust vector?

We are familiar about indian punctuality aren't we.
