    Might be premature sure Boeing will kick some dust up soon as they have a debrief. They needed this contract to run line a little longer as they unlike lm don’t have any fifth gen aircraft yet.

    Anyone know if X-plane models of IAF aircraft exist? I have seen a Tejas Model for flightgear but thats about it.

    I appreciate we have a simulator forum but not sure if anyone in that forum would know.

    Any news on the Jaguar upgrades? What engines were finally chosen?

    Any further news on the LCH?

    Anyone know why the SITARA has crashed?

    News on Rustom I?

    Cant say the result is not welcomed by some..

    Dont understand comparison of the NG to the LCA mark II or not.

    i wonder when Tejas became NG comparible

    Well if the Indian defense research comunity (the experts) make the claim then it is really hard for the IAF to say otherwise, even though they may have some other thoughts.

    It seems that it was a design fault with the Russian cryo..
    Pretty detailed http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/NEWS/newsrf.php?newsid=14646

    Not enough details for anyone else to have a view could be politically motivated report.

    Well I think once Pakistan has spent some time using their F-22P Zulfiquar class frigate we shall get a better idea about where Chinese quality control is.

    Its certainly been known that the feedback from earlier exported vessels led to a bit of a stink within their domestic shipbuilding industry.

    It’s more an issue on design and experience in design.

    If some or one of the other competitors mentions corruption then that will be the end or the super long continuation of the mmrca

    Are they going to pay $1 billion more to delay the MMRCA?

    How does the extra $1 billion work? who does it go to?

    I thougth they spent months/years haggling over the Gorshkov for $1.2 billion extra or so…

    Apparently India has integrated the mission system for the EMB-145 based AEW&C aircraft. Not a lot of details unfortunately just standard stuff text. no details.

    here an earlier case with snags.

    http://www.indianexpress.com/news/dh…ts-mark/22400/

    It looks like when one problem is sorted out another pops up? It looks like someone failed to take proper verification of the design before clearing the project? I don’t know what else can be attributed to such design failure of the rotors and the ribs.

    Lots of things really, quality control, quality management, poor operator training, lack of understanding of manufacturing features effects on stress.

    So how is my response to the question posed by JangBoGo a insinuation?

    rayrubik i.e ,
    Step I – Check matt’s question – (50 years?)
    Step II – Confirm that my examples are the answers to matt’s question.
    All those aircraft were relevant in the years that they were built or were operating in and point towards the experience of HAL.They do not have to be relevant to the Dhruv.
    Therefore ,

    Quote:
    so in summary, the three examples you cited are not really applicable to specific case we are talking about here.

    …that is just a totally out of context reply from you.

    Quote:
    but, even experience airframe manufactures experience these problems, the more experience you have the less problems, but still problems. HAL just need to learn.

    ..yep , just like every other aerospace manufacturer and/or everybody in this world.Learning is a never ending process.But that is totally different from misreading a situaton and making a rash conclusions/insinuations at HAL.Such problems happen with every other aircraft that is flying.No need to throw a hissy fit about it as some have done.Just makes those comments look stupid.

    Anyone who has some experience and not a tenious link would have given the same answer to JanBoGo’s question

    I don’t know what else can be attributed to such design failure of the rotors and the ribs.

    What is the knock down in range with the more powerful engines?

    Oh really!I guess same applies to Boeing then!
    This is absolute nonsense.After building aircraft for 50 years you want to say HAL doesnt “understand” airframe stress then I have got a house in mars to sell you!:rolleyes:

    My mistake, out of curiosity what aircraft has Hal manufactured over 50 years that were not built to print or supplied in semi assembled state?

    Considering the worry the defense minister has shown about the drdo current capability makes you wonder
