If we use the same technology and use all the data accumulated during the LCA program -- right from its design, manufacturing and flight testing. Is it possible to build a working prototype of the AMCA in virtual reality so that Test pilots and maintainence staff can experience the jet even before ...

Saurav that's a great resource for all things related to undersea warfare. Capt. Jive turkey's videos on cold waters game are fun and informative. He tries to keep it balanced and realistic. Highly recommended.

Chola saar. There is one resource for scale modeling in 1:100. Its called paper model as it's made of paper. I just built this a month ago

^^ it's part of the landing gear. The gear extends and locks onto the globular thing below the intake. You can find a similar bulge below the opposite intake. It's just an aerodynamic cover for the landing gear lock.

So why exactly did we import these instead of license-building them at HAL, like we usually do?

IIRC, they are being assembled in an IAF BRD in punjab

RE was a good bike for it's time , today only romanticists will buy......The chaps at RE seem to have no inclination for improvement , they should have included at least a fuel gauge on that bike, only thing which has changed is engine and fuel system that too because aluminium blocks and fuel inje...

there is high risk of injury to the back when up righting a fully loaded bike, the rider must take stock of the situation first and then oly attempt lifting the bike. and this should be done in a calm and controlled manner.

Got my Thunderbird delivered on the weekend. Already done 70 kms on it. Planning to ride daily to office. Man, never have I experienced such torque.

[size=50]there seems to be a new trend of using electric motors to drive the turbo charger. ofcourse, people are depating if this should be called a turbo charger at all .but the promise is nice oomph right from low rpms and eliminate turbo lag completely. wouldn't it be called a RAM air intake ?

Engine failure, or engine failure tests? Could it be two different engines? One WS-13 for testing and a RD-33/93 for backup. I think the starboard engine is an RD-93, visually it looks like it. The first flight of j-31 was with rd-93, they seem to be testing the ws-13 on the port side and in other ...

Q1) It looks like a JF -17

^^ 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.

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.

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...
