Re: LCA News and Discussions

If what our renowned gurus say - TVC will make a light aircrafts go out of control - is true, pilot will be busy bringing the flight under control and will finally end up losing the fight. To the contrary, if the TVC helped increasing the maneuverability and having under perfect control, then he mig...

Re: Kaveri & aero-engine discussion

No. A flex nozzle in rocket and a TVC of an aircraft engine are not the same.

You can see how a rockets flex nozzle works here

However, an aircraft's TVC works differently.

^^It does look like a dhruv. It is a dhruv. Is this a PS or CG work? When did HAL come up with folded rotars? I remember gurus saying that dhruv has a hingeless rotor which makes it hard to design a folding rotar config.

Now, which evil yindoo has bent the rotors of dhruv back?

Folding will be at the middle, not at the wing root. Also, I am not sure if NLCA will have a folding wing. This could be a strain gauge, as pratik mentioned.

Don't the generation of an airframe is dependent on the standard sensor suit that it carries, rather than the when the design is contemplated?
