It certainly isn't a show stopper but it really is silly to see that Python5 which was considered to be among the best if not the best IR A2A missile on first shot wasn't able to shoot down a cheap, slow moving UAV is to be honest very embarrasing, no matter how small the UAV was, btw this wasn't a...

Recoil. Big cannons produce large recoil. If you want to carry high rate of fire gattling type 30mm cannon then you need to reinforce the airframe to withstand recoil forces and then LCA would loose its L.

Sorry typo. So why pay 10-20 or whatever INR/tyre for 95% nitrogen when you are getting ~80% nitrogen for free.

Just a tidbit of info. There is something called nitrogen gas filling facility available at gas depots. Nitrogen in tyre instead of just air is better for cars, or heard so. Isn't 71% of air nitrogen? Read that the oxygen in air escapes over time from tyres thereby reducing the pressure/ oxidation ...

In Delhi, the low floor buses have created nuisance on roads. Erratic driving and cutting lanes has become the norm for these buses. Earlier the DTC buses lacked power steering which made them a lot predictable but now the contracted drivers drive the huge buses as if they are driving a car.

Leh flights operated by AI/IA are usually flown by A 320 planes with a bogey pair in the nose wheel. So, the nose landing gear has four tyres instead of the usual two. Helps in braking action.

After reading through the interim report #3 of AF 447 crash investigation and the comments by BR members, I am of the opinion that we all have missed a very important point i.e. Why the PF kept on giving nose up commands when the aircraft was giving all sorts of indirect signs that they are stalled....

some data points. Minuteman3 has a 4th stage motor, that presumably stretches its max range. very low thrust liquid engine but as it only needs to push the MIRV section at light gravity, it does the job. this is likely the HAM (high alt motor) that Arun_S used to talk of.

I think I have seen that movie and if it is what i think it is then it was a reasonable movie.

Logically speaking the CG should be within the footprint of the MLG else the AC will be prone to tipping over to the heavier side while taxiing. On the ground the CG is practically over the MG. Reason being you need a stable AC on ground but also you want it to be easy to rotate @ V2. As far as my ...
