Don't think it can be "intact" - hard to believe. ISRO has used thermal imaging to spot it. That is the official position AFAIK.

Yeah that's why I said to take it with a grain of salt. Slim chance it survived imho

ISRO sources confirm lander found intact 500m from landing site. Considering it's ABP news, take it with a huge grain of salt until official confirmation.

Couldnt agree more. Got up close with the specimen at AI17 and the finishing work on the wing-body fairing panels looked bad. A fellow aerospace engineer with me pointed out the significant -ve effects it would have on the overall drag coefficient... Hoping this was improved in the later prototypes ...

Is the pic of LCA Navy in camo on brf fb page real or photoshopped?

Vashishtha

Kindly explain why you make this claim - Where has IAF abandoned Tejas? With only 100 firm orders for what was supposed to be replacing over 200 Mig 21's. It sure looks abandoned to me. Don't get me wrong mate, I love the airplane and been following its development over almost a decade. I'm dishear...

Vashishtha

How do you guys expect any export orders for LCA when IAF itself abandoned it?

Writing is on the wall. LCA has been killed before its even born. I am afraid the same saga will repeat with the AMCA too.

Not a single word from the PM and the two press meets by the army were also postponed. Its been 2 days almost

Since the “We will hit at a time and place of our chosing“ statement is out. Can we close this thread?

Even if it is just 1000 km in 70 mins, it's supersonic, isn't it?

No.. 1000 km / 70 mins is approximately 230 m/s. since the missile travels quite close to the GL, the speed of sound can be taken as 330 m/s.
Therefore, the average speed of the missile for that 1000 km track is Mach 0.72.

4 are required if you need the altitude of the receiver also, right?

Now that atleast 3 sats are in place, can ISRO start testing the system and get an initial "feel" of desi GPS?

Then you have no idea how GTs are used in industrial applications. Think I wasted 4 years at college. Watching Youtube would've cut it :) Who says you need to add that power turbine to a spool?

Good find vik. Now read the authors comments below, the LM1500 is a 'gas generator', to derive any useful power it has to be connected to a power turbine on a separate spool which more or less reiterates what I just said. Think of it this way: Gas Generator + Afterburner + Nozzle = Jet engine Gas Ge...
