How do you know this? Even when spin tests where aborted, we don't know if it could have recovered or not. The test was simply aborted when entry into spin tests were not deemed to be safe. Sorry not understood...spin test aborted. My memory recollects that two fine gentlemen had to eject out of du...

The IAF needs the plane now and it could accept the plane (which is pretty far along in its flight testing) with some relaxation to its stringent requirements. And have fighter pilots or even pilots passing out flying academies with experience of only take off and landings. Cause IJT cannot stall s...

So because I said chief is wrong on his presumptions my statements are asinine and my behavior is arrogant? What that makes you then? His remarks are offending, plain and simple. You can't prove that wrong by jumping on me and personally attacking me. If IAF does not have the resources or money to ...

If it is not possible, it doesn't matter if there is no plan B, Plan A still goes out of the window. And the sooner the IAF is told, the sooner they can start thinking of alternatives. Like others have said, more MKIs and LCA's is an option. May not be ideal, but it is better than nothing. Why not ...

Just as a data-point: the IAF is on record that the 2 x Tejas Squadrons are absolutely required to be operational under 12th Plan (2012-2017) to ensure that Squadron strength does not breach the lakshman-rekha of 34 Squadrons. Taking on from here, if we assume 60-75% flight line serviceability star...

You want production order to be increased for a product which is yet to enter service from a manufacturer who is rolling out the first high performance aircraft? You do realize that the first squadron to enter service will be used to iron out any issues in the aircraft. And that is why it is being ...

Delay and procastinate is the policy of military. I wonder whether any Chief has written a letter to support any indigenous product like the support given to Swiss junk. Well what do you expect him to do, stop his production line (rookie training) or pause undertaking air maintenance mission. Yes; ...

Because the big mile stone is getting unacceptably delayed. The rate at which HAL is going around making it, it is any ones guess when a meaningful number will be available. And all the "oh LCA is a complex system" makes no sense in the given context. What is HAL? A cycle repair shop? Or ...

The 21 is not a forgiving aircraft - it was built in a different era for a different war with very different loss dynamics where a classification such as interceptor still existed. Components age, airframes age, engines age and most importantly expectations change. A fighter ought to be as easy to ...

Seems to me that the specifications were modified to fit the PC-7. Something that the IAF did and if there is anyone who needs to explain it should be the IAF.

I think that nobody has right to criticize HAL unless they have personally set up production line for a fighter. Even though HAL chief has not set up anything except push paper when he was appointed to head HAL. Hence it is permissible to head, manage and mess up HAL but not criticize. Anyway due t...

Guess, the reason it wasnt clubbed with earlier one was because there was strong current of having our national aerobatic in indigenous ac may be IJT.

Forget it, i thought that there would be some sense in dropping in what i know, i am not interested in giving out anything. Good to read out stuff.

All the best for your internetting discussion with open source information.

saps

the more curious ones can request me on the AGARD Aerospace nav systems volume. Its only 500 pages of sheer tech data, all doubts here about speed and computational requirements would get sorted out in perspective.

Hope a search for this book would satisfy some requirements of authenticity.

Its good to see the discussion still alive, after my brief disappearance.

Please educate me on how to post images, text from pdf files and data from web pages.

TERPROM, why is it applicable only for strike missions? It is useful in some strike missions, where mission planning can map and feed routes.

Why am I reminded of Hollywood flick 'stealth' after reading some of the posts on TERPROM ? :) The key point to note is human reaction time has not changed much ever since the man took to air , one can do a rough calculation as to what kind of tolerances we are talking about given the avg. human re...
