I have a question for the more knowledgeable folks here: Why were canards not included in the Tejas design? I know that the Tejas's delta wing was shaped so that it would generate more lift and it was thought to be sufficient at that time. But what was the rationale behind excluding canards altoget...

That would entirely depend on what angle you view it from. Purely eyeballing it suggests that Head on the bird is as good as the best. As you move towards the sides and rear, esp. Ventrally, not so much. Still, with internal weapons, large fuel stores, smallish fins, it's well ahead of a 4 gen desi...

Give tax break for Navic compatible phones and it'll be even faster! That's a bad idea. It has to be a mandated requirement. It's really not hard to add. The requirement is that the SoC - Snapdragon, Exynos, Axx , MTK kit etc - should support NAVIC amongst its existing support set, if that product ...

I cannot help but wonder where do all these big names like GPU, GPS, cellular modem are being placed. Oh Wait! I have already answered you, its that bold word that start with M.

Every mobile phone comes with a MSDN number which paired with a Motherboard ID and consecutively NAVIC receiver ID can be pinged and get the location. That's how you can be tracked, whether you want it or not. Is it a very easy thing to do? Hell No! Does GOI has the capability and willingness to do...

You might want to go read up about how the technology works to clear up those basic doubts, and how others like GLONASS are built right into the A11s and Snapdragons that power your mobile devices.

Let's do a Scenario vs Problems on NAVIC Scenario : GOI asks all chip manufacturer to include/have NAVIC chip. Problem1 : If the device only has NAVIC chip, it will be pretty useless outside a range.

Word in the market is that the PSU Bank's that have gone under PCA or likely to do do will be cutting down perks of the employees (lease, petrol, telephone) to a tune of 15-20% resulting in pay cut of ₹4-5k on the juniourmost officers.

One question I have is: with a 17.5t MTOW, will a GE F414 suffice ? My concern is - would we be back to "it is underpowered" situation ? It will give the Tejas Mk2 similar T/W ratio as the Mirage-2000-5. the Snecma M53-P2 produces ~98 kN in afterburner and ~64 kN in dry thrust. Similar to...

One way to increase the capacity of Delhi, Mumbai, Blore and chennai would be to make it mandatory flying large wide body aircrafts, between thease cities.

HAL is in charge of Mk1A. AFAIK, they are only planning to make structural, avionics and panel changes. They are not going to undertake anything that changes the CG/CP or the external aerodynamics (which is a pity). IIRC they were trying to reduce drag as well - nothing as major as the plug, but mi...

Common sense also dictates that a tank weighing less by 20t ,2/3 rd the size of an A series,will cost approx. proportionally less. ROFLMAO :rotfl: Only if you're buying a tin can from the local kabadi wala/junkyard. If all there is to a tank is metal wt therefore metal cost, then lord save us all.

If you ask me, the recurring issue with TATA is weight. There cars are heavy as compared to competition. For example Zest is 1135 Kgs, Dzire weighs 895 Kgs, Amaze 940 Kgs. This weight means low fuel economy though not by much. Zest Vs Dzire fuel economy differs by 1/2 Kmpl in city. But this weight ...
