Did you notice the leading edge of the elevator is before the flaps? Its scooping the flow right of the wing and not waiting for the second hand dirty flow as in Su-30MKI. Yes I did, when you had first posted about that observation. Infact, that is the case with the F-22 and the F-35 as well! I don...

I spoke to some friends of mine here from the aerospace department. Though they are all PhD students, their field of studies are different. But they all said that they would get back to me after speaking to the guys in this field. I know a few guys who build aeromodels and a team which is building ...

OT-Alert on P.S. Henrik, you are speaking of brute-force algorithms (certainly not state-of-art) on serial uniprocessor machines. Please read my post. I am speaking of dedicated supercomputing time (with 200,000 processing nodes with peta flops) with algorithms which are multiple PhD dissertations....

The newer (US) (Mil) network has "smarts" built-in. It even has a priority feature. And, of course, much more. Could you please illustrate more on the "smarts" part. As far as I know breaking 64-bit encrypted code takes about 2-3 hours (atleast) on the fastest super computers (2...

The reply will be totally OT, as we have been OT for quite some time now. please look at Af-Pak thread in Strat forum for your statements about india and US agreeing on af-pak. Basically, US wants India to keep a low profile in Afghanistan, and get out if possible so that pak can be mollified. It a...

Indranil, the point of sanctions is still valid due to the controversy over PoK II. there may be a time when we need to test again, so before we sign CTBT ;) And it is not just sanctions. US and India's views differ significantly in the geopolitics of our region. The current af-pak is a good exampl...

No, They wont, They will not create another power to counter them, While Russians are so desperate, they just dont care. I dont think that Russia's help to us at the point when they supplied us cryogenic engines was out of desperation. Russia has been on our side. It might have all started off with...

Most members over here would know me, if I post my usual handle in other forums. I can sense your sarcasm and poke about my statement of being a lurker for years. I was, you can take it for what it is worth, far before Arun_S took his pages and went away and before JCage went. But it is true, that ...

Can all those "protrusions" on the Shivalik be housed in some sort of a shroud/s? Make it more "stealthy"? If "yes" then are there any plans for doing that? TIA. sir they are pretty stealth in first place. And no they are structurally supposed to be outside as I told y...

well today if news is true for buying 3 more AWACS , then i have few questions . will they be based on same IL platform? if yes then are these new ones or any older airframe ? again if they are new air frames .that would mean decision to buy C-17 is just not taken because of non availability of new...

I think I simply will not respond to this tripe any more. Stop with your generalized nonsense or provide some sources. CM please don't stop. If you wouldnt have taken this up I would have taken up this gauntlet. I asked exactly the same question some posts back . Show us how the Mig-35 is deemed in...

Indranil

I don't the MiG-35 outperforms the Gripen either. Its just that the performance deficit that the MiG-35 has vis-a-vis the others, is not as apparent with respect to the Gripen. Could you clarify why you think there is a big performance deficit vis-a-vis the others and not so much for the Gripen? Re...

Indranil

Over the years in this MRCA threads whenever anybody suggested f-15 or su 35 for MRCA it was pointed out that we already have su 30 in the same weight class. Since IAF is going to induct some squadrons of Tejas too then why is Gripen being allowed in MRCA which is of the same weight class? Why not ...

Indranil

I've never quite understood why the F-16 is supposed to have a better sustained turn rate then the Mirage-2k. I agree that the Mirage's tailless delta design would probably create higher induced drag which would cause it to bleed off energy during high speed turns. But the F-16 Block 30's wing load...

Indranil , bliss to explain the proper reason that prevailed in 1971 when US sent its fleet. The simple answer to my question is if anyone attacks India whether developed or undeveloped, India must fight back . As far as a proper reason is concerned ,times change, alliances change, equations change...

What if USA or some other developed country decides to pick up a fight with India for whatever reason ? Then we call them to the yard at recess and have the usual school yard fight with the other countries cheering and betting their tiffin boxes on the outcome. We can also choose to turn around and...

And I would add, buy lots of them!!!

Roy, here the tailplane acts as both lift generating surface and 'stabilator'. In the case of 'stabilator', the angle needed is not too steep, it postpones the stall and extreme cases can be handled by thrust vectoring engine. So the answer to your Q is "yes" as far i know. If i'm the chi...

^^^ I have a question. I agree that the other acquisitions that you speak off are important and some may be of more pressing need. But which one of those acquisitions are being held back because of want of money? So much of our defense allocations are being returned to the finance department at the ...

Please notice that fowler flaps are used for slow speeds for decreasing stall speeds. But I notice your usage of "like" 8) Dear Roy, If you take any primer on anything related to Aero, it tells you that, fowler flaps provides more lift than drag. You take the help of your aeronautics frie...

http://im.rediff.com/news/2010/apr/01slid4.jpg What are those protected protrusions? They are passive stabilizers in the forms of bilge keels (ones running the length) and fixed fins (wing like extensions). They help in dampening the roll of the ship. They are very common in big ships. However in m...

with missiles like Aim-120C-7 and new gen R-77, it is possible to take out targets far away, EF, Rafale, Gripen NG currently deploy the aim-120C-7, they can climb high and fast, fire their missiles at long range and since these new missiles with active radars seekers are harder to detect the enemy ...

IMVVHO that completely depends on what and how much your enemy is flying. I think in an age when neither Pak nor China is flying LO aircraft, BVR would bring a big advantage. If they are flying stealth aircraft, then that BVR advantage may be lessened, so quantity may have its own quality then. Def...

In the high technology dominated wars of tomorrow - with high situation awareness (each of our potential opponents fielding AWACS) and a huge "BVR" regime; I wonder how relevant would dog fights remain, and therefore be a consideration in contests like the MRCA. That question has been dis...

Indranil

a question often haunts me and I think it is pertinent to this thread. Mods feel free to delete it if otherwise. In case of a war with any of our likely enemy, we would have to achieve air dominance in the beginning ( wrt to IAF's objective). When such an objective has to be achieved with modern fig...

The tail elevator and wing aileron are in the same line! Wont that render the elevator useless? Nope. In this particular case, you see, tailplane acts as an extension of flap. More like 'Fowler flap'(?). IF i'm not wrong, it helps in super cruise and probably reduce rcs. hmmm. For a fowler flap, th...

^^^ (previous 3 posts) All the fifth generation fighters at least seem to have inline wings and elevators(may be for lower RCS). F-35, Su-47 (though just a prototype), F-22. Infact the F-18, gripen have them in almost the same line. Almost all planes designed with swept forward wings have the canard...
