The switch position and fuel valve status are normally individually recorded. Cockpit switches are normally wired 0V/open logic. Whether the status is picked up for the EAFR from the wire itself, or from the electronics of the FADEC is unknown. It is highly possible that it is picked up from the ele...

Folks, remember that the heaviest lift penalty is right at rotation among all the flight regimes. Speed is lowest, and drag is highest. If the aircraft rotated properly, and gained some altitude before gliding down means that neither flaps, nor landing gear affected the flight. The flight was normal...

Yes, we do, and scaling up is already happening.

PL-15 is claimed to have three guidance modes. 1. Own active radar seeker. 2. Passive radar seeker, using the radar of the launching platform. 3. Two-way data link guidance from AEW&C platform. The counter to all these is jamming the missile itself. And youknowwhat? Rafales can do just that! It ...

Artillery firing across the LoC was the norm previously.
Drones across is going to be the norm from now on.
Need to churn up more of the high power lasers, that's all.

I personally think MK1/MK1A/MK1B and MK2/MK2A/MK2B could be the numbers game, and will replace the retiring platforms. AMCA will be less in numbers. Being said that, IAF may Monkey-See-Monkey-Love-Monkey-Take on AMCA once they get a few in their hands. Just like what happened to MK1. BTW, one new co...

Folks, I need to pick the bright brains at BRF about a realistic volume projection of AMCA. As some of you might know / guessed, my KB is in race to supply some gizmos, and the management needs input on realistic business prospects. Since none of my past projections to them came reliably true (their...

I think the useful reference would be the 1971 push to Dhaka. I have no fauji connection myself, except a couple of colleagues. But those guys never talk. Also, they are pretty young wrto 1971.

Folks, returning after a long time with an interesting subject. Watched a documentary on Discovery "How to go to war". This is about the support logistics for war. It deals with the non glamorous stuff that we enthusiasts ignore while talking about war. The documentary talked about food, t...

As of today, my attitude towards the LDF Govt's activities with respect to Temples, especially to Sabarimala, takes a U turn.

We are working on stuff that is common to both. It is difficult to figure which platform is where from the view we get.

Covid isn't helping. Can't do in person visits anymore, so can't meet chaiwalas and get juicy nuggets.

Indranil! Got a question saar :mrgreen: Is there any particular reason for the additional smaller head down display. Personally i quite like it.

Apologies if posted earlier, but according to some on SM, the Indian flag on red fort has not been removed. The khalistani flag was flown on an empty pole on red fort. That is correct. There is an empty flag staff, on which the PM unfurls the tricolor on 15th Aug. On regular instances, the flag wil...

No. The suggestion for suspension of farm laws till the implementation of laws can be worked out comes from Dr. Ashok Gulati - one of the remaining three members of the Supreme court appointed committee.

One more thing is Tejas has any LRUs which can be swapped as plug and play. This also cuts the repair downtime something got being thought about! A lot of them are already that. The only problem (with MK1, mostly resolved in MK1A) is the accessibility to do the Unplug/Plug. MK1A will be nice to mai...

Several LRUs development for the MK2 is still in tender stage. Even with the impossible time line of 18 months to qualification of those LRUs, how can there be a rollout in 2022?

It is going to be a 'business only' meet this time. No 'public days'. The number of exhibitors is really low, so they removed the whole Hall AB. It is going to be a very lackluster affair this year.

The way BRDs maintain the birds, there will be no ICY after a few years of operational use

And don't get started on the part obsolescence induced changes. ICY is very important to build the planes quickly. Not that much in operational use.
