Okay, VRDE has selected the diesel engine for the Rustom. It is looking for a piggyback ECU for fuel control. But what is this base engine. Can somebody identify.

Vidur, Thanks for this post. I just have one question to get a clearer picture. How much discretionary powers in finance matters do DRDO chief;s get.

Vina-ji .Neat simple explanation.
Another point about the staged combustion cycle. The Preburner-turbine exhaust is fed to the main combustion chamber. That means there will back-pressure from main combustion chamber to the turbine. What precautions must be taken here ?

Neela

My assumption is rocket clustering, irrespective of whether tanks, turbo pumps, combustion chamber, is shared or not , is when these components belong to the _same_ stage.

Hi Neela sir, Seekers are in development for both Nirbhay & Brahmos, we don't have any yet. Way point navigation - i.e. moving from predetermined point to the next, as a means of methodically navigating has been done with Rustom, Nishant, and of course we have experience with aircraft too which...

Brahmos, LCA do way point navigation at different alts. So does Rustom, Nishant. Its not the key issue which is our lack of local seekers and engines, which are now maturing.

The GSLV Mk 2 in comparison (figures again from Wiki) can launch 2.5 tons to GTO and costs Rs 220 crores ($ 36 million) per launch. That works out to $14,400/kg. I doubt whether the GLSV Mk 3 cost/kg will be significantly different. Yes. FINALLY SOMEONE who actually posts numbers instead of "I...

Disha, Vina,prasanna, others Just 1 question from my side. Keeping in mind consolidation, reduction of complexity, handling costs, competition,scalability and cost/kg, what are the forward looking preferred stages ISRO should opt for , for all types of payload to GTO ( Say from 1Tonne - 15Tonnes) .

What the report speaks of is "turnaround time" not time to scramble. As far as my knowledge goes - scramble times could be as low as 2 minutes in fully fueled and ready aircraft. There are many IAF accounts of that - I read an account recently of a sqn commander ordering that his pilots p...
