Q1) It looks like a JF -17

chiru

^^ saar, i think the photo shows that there are lots of data gathering equipment in the cabin. In the production version the entire WSI system will be controlled by the two pilots upfront and the whole rear cabin will be empty.

OT alert One thing Modi need to do is stop behaving like Atal2. Of course he will behave like Atal 2. People should deal with it, only so much is possible.

@ saje
i did spot a dark coloured chopper with a round chin, moving towards HAL, flying quiet low. i thought it was a chetak or a cheetal but it did not have the ribbed all glass front and definitely sounded different.

Two things wished for the MCA that may be futuristic in value are: :idea: 1) If the vertical stabilizer is the size that it is, then every opportunity should be taken to fill it up with fuel , to optimize on endurance when i posed the question - why are you not considering all moving V. stabilizer?...

The AMCA has been rather well cloaked yet seems to be well thought through. Do we know what their thinking is on an engine? They should have an idea by now - not a speculated one. a senior scientist at the ADA stall said that the team is not worried as to which engine they are going to use, he spec...

@bala the distribution of tickets has started 3-4 days back, tickets will be available till 5 feb.

@shiv saar booking the tickets online is a PITA as u have to physically get the tickets at the airbase entrance showing the print out from the online booking.

chiru

@ VJ russian knights are also good but i cant expect them to perform the flying display with generous use of FLARES, for which they are famous for, dhimmi indian rulez will not allow them :(( and moreover the area around the airbase has a considerable human population :cry: http://www.flightglobal.c...

Darin II did not include IFR probe did it?

Formerly G-AMSV and recently arrived to take up residence at Weston. However in June 2011 it was sold to the Indian Air Force Historic Flight and flown to Kemble for restoration.

The tunnel model photo above does not loose too much resolution even when you zoom in. On a unrelated note, given this level of access, i guess the establishment will be able to estimate the rcs figures independently of what has been promised by the Russians? yes the rcs estimation is equally impor...

@ singha saar it IS the pak-fa, as to why we are testing it in a wind tunnel ? IMO
- to build upon the present config as a base to the two seater fgfa, so that there wont be any major deviations in flight performance.

@Snehashis - its fanboy CG thats it.

^^ @srinivasan sir - it was a twin turboprop, low wing aircraft, in fresh looking military green - had rounded wing tips - i have never seen a hs-748 flying so cant comment on that. im positive it cant be an an-32 due to the low wing... and soon after this mysterious aircraft passed over me, it was ...

chiru

@sum sir I'm not sure abt it bieng a hs-748 either, any expert gurus can share their views

chiru

sum sir i missed the c-130 but i also saw a phoren looking transport aircraft over b-lore skies last evening it was a low-winged airplane with only 2 engines and it was soon followed by a AN-32

My chaiwallah gave me a mind-blowingingly cool photo of a fully armed IAF MiG-29 (4xR-73 + 2xR-77) that is my desktop wallpaper. However, since he gave me no explicit permission, I'm going to assume that I'm not at liberty to share. :P sure its not R-27s instead of R-77s ? http://media.defenseindus...
