The Chief again says they need to take a call on mk2. The AMCA is a sure thing based on what he says.

There is no FOC for LUH. Only equipment qualification- i.e autopilot, winch etc

At the Helo India seminar( video is available above), Air Marshall Tiwari indicates that LUh numbers could be up to 400 depending on the Kamov deal's fate. So this now not just a jingo fantasy but it is actually being talked about in official circles. So why the question about not dumping the Kamov...

The elephant in the room is the mess with the FGFA which cost precious time. The AMCA push from the AF is understandable but the MK2 is a easy follow on to the 1A. I think the Chief was only talking in terms of numbers and not the program itself.

That is a bit surprising and then again maybe not.... Perhaps the resources at ADA/HALwould be better being pooled into AMCA rather than being spread thin. HAL was talking about rolling out mk2 in 18 months.

Bharadwaj

Chief hopeful AMCA will be green lighted this financial itself.

Yes sorry was 8g at Bahrain.

Bharadwaj

To be honest there was nothing stunning about it. What they did in Bahrain was remarkable-19 second 360 turns, 9g square loop etc. It looks like the fcs is in some sort of control mode or the engine is turned down. I don't blame them for it- the product is proven and there is no need to wear out com...

The shoulder mounted planform of the Tejas is gone in the TEDBF. Begs the question if the original choice with the LCA was forced upon by extremeness of ASQR in terms of weight vs capability.

The a330 mrtt will reduce the hours we put on the c17 air frames. It can handle troop and general cargo movement in and out of regular paved runways even at higher altitudes. It will also help with humanitarian relief work. A great buy and hopefully MOD will not get sticker shock once the price come...

Bharadwaj

If the former Air chief did indeed say that - he is wrong. They have the same wing barring the differences in the pylon area. The a340-500/600 do have a larger wing but they have no relation to the mrtt platform.

Bharadwaj

The a330-200(base for mrtt)/300 and a340-200/300 have always shared the same wing from day one. The difference being the extra pylon locations(and associated structural beefing up) for the four engine a340 which are absent on the civilian a330 but used for the mrtt to add refueling stations. If thes...
