DJI (China) has professional and industrial drones with ranges 7km + , payloads of 10kg. Immensely popular with serious hobbyists worldwide.
The range of drones they have is truly amazing.

HAL has developed a rotary UAV demonstrator with 1 hour endurance and 10 km radius. This was to develop many technologies auto-TOL, loiter waypoint navigation etc. The helicopter by itself is an off the shelf buy (but that is not the point). The control is what they were developing. It was importan...

Just read the news the Spicejet will buy Bombarider Q400 . 23 bought. 25 further planned.
Q400 uses PW 12X series turboprops.
We have no R&D or development of turboprops. Surely Surely this is a more achievable target with implications for military transport.

I can forward the document if you would like. LMW is a Tier I supplier for HAL - so they do have tidbits on other a/c too.

Please let me know by DM.

Vivek K is right. Now the delay card is being flashed from usual sources. HAL has set up 5/year line, added 3/year line. Then the new 8/year line is coming up. So this is 16/year when it comes through. RM has said they want 24/year. i.e. 8/year line needed. HAL second line costs 1350 crores. This i...

JayS Sir,
I wonder what work is there when you want to fit M88 core into the Kaveri. What is the learning there for us ?
It does seem like there is very little R&D benefits for us and a big upside to Safran on the sales front.

Neela

Can someone clarify what the m88 core means. Does it mean turbine section, afterburning section as well HP compressor stages? If it includes the compressor stages, there is little of our own R&D in it. FADEC will also be Snecmas as core fuel injection etc will be controlled through it. That leav...

Sad to read that snippet from SJha about current status of jet dev in the country. So what GTRE is a failure lab? Few people I respect the most are aware of the fact that they have to "unlearn & relearn" many things constantly. Unlearning at a senior age can lead to an impression of b...

Saurav Jha ( read from bottom to top ) ‏ @SJha1618 In any case, the foreign partner was more interested in a much larger project that would have seen the creation of a new core for the Kaveri design for 90 KN plus wet thrust. That project however is also not seeing light of day because GTRE is proba...
