can anyone put a LCA SPECIFICATION NOW WITH FULL DETAILS OF AVIONICS TO THIS RANT.

 

[Indian-Devil]

lolzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Except Do you know anything else?? Everywhere just putting these signs and trolling... I guess you have some problem of

 

[AMCA]

Guys stop It..... Why do You have to respond to trolls??? thats the maximum they can do, They will Shut up automatically once asked contribution of theres On the project they claim to be theirs... where as we have seen the Fate of there Aviation industry in the form of a Gyrocopter which they claim as Innovation ....

And look who is speaking all this with all those DRDO achievements before public eyes over the decades gambling away free indian public taxpayer's money

If DRDO taking Indian public's money what bothers you? Can you build a carrier? Nuclear submarine? SLBM? Fighter aircraft? Attack chopper? MBT? No. So stop making funny comments. lol

Tarmak007 -- A bold blog on Indian defence: ADA confirms Tejas LSP-3 jettisoned a 1200-litre drop tank over ATR

Jettisonable drop tanks are carried by a combat aircraft, after completing the mission are required to be dropped from the mother aircraft for a quick get away from the enemy territory and other emergency situations. To ensure safety of flight, clean separation of the tank with adequate clearances from the mother aircraft or neighboring stores need to be established from flight test. This extremely safety critical flight test requires thorough planning and preparation supported by theoretical analysis and a level of verification of the predictions through ground tests on specialized test rigs set up for this purpose.
The theoretical predictions were further verified through what is called ‘Pit drop tests’ conducted on a test specimen using specially designed test rig with part of the aircraft system and high speed photography system integrated with it. The test cases covered a member of conditions such as empty, partial and full drop tanks as well as different Ejector Release Unit (ERU) settings.
The flight test were planned by the National Flight Test centre (NFTC), ADA at certain representative critical release condition. Considering the safety critical nature of this test, a safety review was conducted at NFTC to ensure all foreseeable safety issues were taken care of before embarking on this important test. To capture the flight data, a dedicated and specialized Airborne Separation Video System (ASVS) is installed on the Test aircraft. The system comprised of very high speed digital cameras installed in a specially designed camera pod and linked to a Multi System Controller (MSC) installed onboard the aircraft. The MSC gets a pulse from trigger to jettison the tank where upon the cameras are switched on in a pre-determined sequence to capture this critical event.
Mr PS Subramanyam, Programme Director (CA) and Director, ADA told “the 1200 Ltr drop tank jettison trial was conducted on 17 December 2010 at a critical point in the jettison envelope on Tejas LSP-3 aircraft piloted by Gp Capt Suneet Krishna. The trial was conducted over the recently commissioned NFTC Air to ground range at Chitradurga. The trial aircraft was escorted by another Tejas PV-2 which captured the external video picture of the drop tank trajectory after release”.
Dr Prahlada, CC-R&D (Ae-SI) – DRDO opined “with such test experiments made by the team, the aeronautical test range facility at Challakere has paved the smooth way for subsequent trials of different natures. He also said that if this facility were not to be commissioned at Challakere, all such flight tests would have to be carried on either at Hyderabad or Pokran. In view of the close proximity to Challakere to Bangalore it was more comfortable in conducting the test flights by the dedicated team the process of which could be monitored from Bangalore”.
The successful trial is the result of orchestrated team effort on the part of different organizations and specialists involved in this prestigious national programme- yet another feather on the decorated cap of the ‘Team Tejas.’

Thats is an excellent news. They are on full force for IOC. I think almost every day some news coming out about Tejas.

im pretty convinced that there will be a big surprise in aeroindia 2011..

yes that's really good news,, but real time to celebrate when we will hear something good for radar and engine ,,
waiting for IOC date

easy spitfire and tallboy,remember we are guest here . Just wondered that what if we trolling in Jf 17 thread ? Either you get sacked or you msg get deleted soon. Mods are simply remain ignorant about this ajtr ,because hes trolling in indian thread . Spitfire you better not to show them real mirror image to these guys ,press the ignore button.

There is no trolling if what I said is true. My point is that the only thing we know about the LCA is that it is NOT GOOD ENOUGH for the IAF, as per news said, so therefore, you guys have no knowledge how the LCA compares to other planes.

Also, the only reason I pointed that out is that whenever you Indians talk about this 30 year old projects, you have to put down China and Pakistan, making stupid remarks about our JF-17 and J-10.

Shortfall as in the article provided were thrust deficiency that necessitated the selection of a more powerful engine, General Electric’s F414-INS6, this year for a proposed Mk.2 version.

So the limited number of first batch will be still be short of what IAF asked for. But hopefully the problem is solved after working on various prototypes and intense testing which is going on.

Keep updated from the thread.

The article says "the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) has not been able to attain include sustained turn rate, speed at low altitude, angle of attack and certain weapon delivery profiles"

From this description you can see several defects besides the engine: 1. Weight distribution 2. System integration 3. Weapon integration. Adding engines woes that's 4.

The LCA MK 2 has a long way to go. The LCA MK 1 is probably just for user feedback. Please stop saying things like the LCA is "leagues ahead of the JF-17". At its current state, this statement is simply pure baseless speculation with false pride.

when did i say that???

Systems integration and weapons integration has been worked on as it was too early to comment as its test was very recent. I have no idea about the weight distribution issue , maybe someone with more info can help u on that..

One more doubt .. are u here in thread for real or is it flame that i am replying to.

no actully jf 17 is 9 wonder ever been made by china .adios STFU .NO NEED TO TROLL HERE

 

[STAR SCREAM]

Benny!!that article was just a farce and with no author . If there's anything true then Anantha of tarmak must had been autheticated in his blog long ago as he's the only journlist of aviation week who exclusively following tejas since long.
