Good find twinblade and boom,
It would be interesting to see the top view, the port side view & view from the stern for the “openings”. It would be interesting to see how they intend to carry all the heavy equipment to be installed inside the hull….will it be through the two-hanger openings and the stern opening? Or do they have a good opening up on the top deck, kept opened/incomplete to facilitate lowering of the heavy equipment to the lower deck?
Not sure what type of openings still remain on the top, the view on google earth has not been updated in a very long time, and you can see that a significant number of modules of the hull had not been connected when the image was taken.
larger image from the article that Boom posted..possibly IAC-1?
Yes this is the IAC image and concurs with what was visible on GE. Had I not seen the tiny image posted on Tarmak blog, I would have called it a botched up PS job, but sometimes real pictures have a capacity to look totally fake 🙂
I read the caption where I found it at. If its a design load its still impressive to me. 🙂
for that concept to be realised, Tejas would have had 5 wet stations (out of total 7 :p) and the second pylon from the wing tip would have to be rated for a load of around 1200Kg at least.
I find the pic to be excellent. Far better than some plain-jane anodyne composition of plain skies at the usual times with nothing but the aircraft.
Now I need to figure out how to save this pic and make it my desktop.
somebody uploaded it on imageshack
Supposedly…
This doesn’t look like Kochi-Ernakulam, that place doesn’t have any haze. Its usually either pouring from the skies or as bright as overhead lamp in a torture room but no haze.
Edit: @Quadbike, if you are reading this, get off your seat, grab a decent camera with a bazooka sized lens and go get us some pictures 🙂
