If the idea is to have a word derived from an Indian language, then I hope they avoid any word ending in -naut. I think any word which limits the meaning to atmosphere should also be avoided. The word should also be easy to pronounce and not too long. If I had a better knowledge of Sanskrit, I would...

Siding Spring causes explosion in Mars atmosphere
This is pretty spectacular if you watch the video. The flash

An afternoon launch of RH200 caught on camera from one of the office buildings of Technopark How did you 'catch' this? Not an easy thing to do because that rocket just takes off like a bullet. Did you have someone near the launch pad relay the count down to you by phone while you were ready with yo...

But the "cheapness" was forced upon Isro because of earlier failures. The smaller, older Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) had to be deployed, rather than the more powerful Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV), because Isro had failed to stabilise the GSLV's cryogenic techno...

I wonder if the color camera can be set to continuously stream images as MOM passes over the planet.
It would be great to watch these images live as a webcast

Wouldn't the Akash missile system meet the requirements for an air defence system for the carrier? Or even the Brahmos? If either of the above has some shortcomings, I am in favor of modifying or developing an indigenous system instead of shopping for one. Spend the money in India and develop capabi...

By the way, the picture of Veena Malik is clearly doctored. If you zoom in around the bikini area in photoshop, you will see that the pixels in that area are missing and substituted by some kind of brushing tool. So I think FHM magazine is the culprit. She must have modeled in that pose in a bikini ...

Hypocritical and useless article from so-called expert.

Author questions Australia's desire to sell uranium to India while living and working comfortably using nuclear
power in the USA.

Uttar Arunachal Pradesh !!! I love that.
Now can BR put that on a map of India and post it as a sticky somewhere.
Come to think of it, do we have proper maps of India on BR?

RonyKJ

Absolutely fantastic, precise article from Christopher Hitchens, telling it like it is.
But we all at BR have been saying the same for a decade. The only thing that he
hasn't mentioned is the role of the Chinese, who have been playing an equally
deceitful, shameless game as the Pakis

I think what is happening is that Pakistan's ISI is moving Mullah Omar from Pakistan to Afghanistan. I think they are shitting in their pants worried that the US might launch another operation to take out Mullah Omar and Pakistan will be caught again harboring a terrorist leader.

Cross-posting from LCA thread: Folks, like to liven up this thread a little at my own expense of being ridiculed. I have a "brilliant" idea. Why not modify one of the LSP's so that it can be flown pilotless ? The immediate use of this would be that it can be used then to test spin recovery...

Some of these jokers come out and make these statements every once in a while. The first air-breathing rocket was flown in early 90's called ABR-200. Since then they have been rehashing the same thing under different names just so that people can keep their jobs. Every few years, they will come out ...

@yogi, amazing pics, such sharp focus and good zoom

There is no way out other than to initiate private enterprise to manufacture
and market the Tejas. Having just HAL to manufacture our aircraft does not
make much sense strategically. Tatas, Tanuja and so on would be happy
to oblige, I am sure.

I am starting to think that the whole environmental clearance is a joke. Granted that its original purpose is great, but our babus and netas as usual have managed to use it as a revenue making tool. I don't understand how highways have been built through wildlife sanctuaries. Did they not have to se...

Regarding CFT drag
Thanks Shiv and Neerajb for your lucid explanation. I now understand very well what induced drag is.
The question remains whether CFT's can generate lift to compensate for the drag created by their weight.

RonyKJ

I read in a post here that conformal fuel tanks can actually generate lift to compensate for their weight. I don't understand how that works, since they do not offer an aerofoil section to the air flow, but lets assume that they actually do in some way. So if drag is not a problem, then I think the ...

Dr. Zachariah said the research related to the launch of the Geostationary Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mark III was nearing the final stages. The launch vehicle, designed in three stages with a height of 42.4 m and a lift-off weight of 630 tonnes, would be ready for operation by July 2011. This is a lie....

I am disappointed to hear that TD-1 has been dismantled. I feel it should have been preserved in an air museum. After all, it symbolised the rebirth of modern Indian fighter aircraft design.

Does anyone know what is happening with Tata Nano production at Sanand? For quite some time there have been regular predictions of trial production in Jan and actual production in April. Then there was the announcement that the date would coincide with Gujarat Day on April 30. Come April 30 and ever...

India needs to provide continuity in fighter aircraft development so that the lessons learned and the technologies developed do not go to waste and we don't lag behind again. I am sure the authorities recognize this. Hopefully the airforce will have more faith from now on in the capabilities of the ...

Yes, I am talking about sub-systems being made by private sector industries much like how ISRO now buys a lot of systems from private sector industries like L&T. It is necessary for government funding to set up institutions like ADA, but HAL does not really seem to fit in anywhere other than as ...

RonyKJ

I think the time has come to invite the private sector to bid on making the LCA.
HAL is a huge monopoly which will not bet any better and does not deserve to have
more money put into it. It has learned nothing in all these decades of assembling
aircraft.

Does anyone know if the Russians have single crystal turbine blade technology?
Does any of the Russian jet engines use these blades?
Do they plan on having it in the fifth generation fighter?

I think the piece by Ajay Shukla on the LCA bagging the order from the Navy was very well written and contained relevant and useful information, unlike some of the reports on it by some posters here.

RonyKJ

Its a shame that ISRO has developed Bhuvan only for Internet Explorer. For an institution that is still under sanctions, they should have shown some common sense and have brought out a version for Firefox.
No way I am going to launch IE as much as I would have liked to check out Bhuvan.

RonyKJ

I am of the opinion that rules should apply to all and I think Dr Kalam would agree. If Dr Kalam is not required to show his ID at any point, then this is a huge security hole. It would be the easiest thing for someone to dress up as Dr Kalam and get access to the most secure nuclear or missile faci...

Filing a patent would be a stupid thing to do. It just makes it so easy for some one else to build an exactly similar system for themselves. As long as they don't commercially sell it, they wouldn't even be violating the patent. If you really come up with something new, especially in the defence fie...
