Wrong assumption. I am sure it is way less than that. Maybe 10%. kindly cite evidence in your support A leading, well known hospital in my city have more than 50 ICU beds at various departments and only 5 ventilators shared among them. I know because I was told so by the caregiver when we had a cri...

MRI, X-Ray, pathological machines will be manufactured in India, says Ravi Shankar Prasad.

A google search indicates India has 70,000 ICU beds. Assuming 2/3rd of them have ventilators , we have 50,000 ventilators for 1.3 billion people. some others UK 4500 Germany 20,000 Italy 3500 USA 135000 (they ventilated these many patients during last pandemic) Wrong assumption.

Thank you for the explanation Dileep. How is this obsolescence issue not present in SP-17 (formerly SP-21) and all other FOC fighters? Has it been already catered for by upgrading to new LRUs? Obviously they must have used whatever available on SP-17 nee 21, and left 15 and 16 waiting. The :twisted...

Dileep

They had some component obsolescence issue, resulting in unavailability of a few LRUs. I get a suspicion that it could the reason why the 15 and 16 are still at 'mayka'. Orders are always placed piecemeal to the suppliers, and stuff designed in early 2000s go obsolete or unavailable with very long l...

Gurus, true? https://twitter.com/sakthivel_cit93/status/1240570691520352257?s=20 ---> Radome diameter determines the diameter of radar. Tejas Mk1 has a higher radome (nose cone base diameter) than Rafale. That means in every upgrade it can get a larger size AESA radar (eyes of the fighter, crucial ...

Dileep Two questions. 1) What about the factory funded with 1350 crores? 2) Are IOC aircraft to be upgraded to FOC standard eventually? There was no mention of a new facility during his presentation. Given the positive tone of the presentation, this would imply there is none (he would have touted i...

It is the respiratory failure that fires the kill shot. The problem is, when the number of patients are more than the available equipment, you need to let some of them die. Respiratory assistance is continuous. Not like injecting antibiotics. For normal flu, in most of the cases the respiratory issu...

We recently saw a tender to (use a simile) cook sarson da saag in 15 minutes.

2 observations. 1. The perforations in the air brakes were no equally spaced in Mk1 However here in MWF they are equally spaced 2. Additional perforations/holes over mid wing body and near air intake. What are those for ? These mock-ups are made from rough sketches by the local fabricators on L1 ba...

My bad. What is shown on the mock-up is BAe LiteHUD. CSIO is working on one, but nothing is final as of now.

Dileep

The Mk2 cockpit is a mockup. The basic 'optics' is final. Not sure about the HUD though. I don't think they made the deal with Thales. There are multiple ways to handle LAD. Most of the panels have two independent LCD units etched into a single glass sheet. So, it will be two displays sharing the sa...

Dileep sirji, Mk1 flies Bangalore to Jaisalmer non stop without IFR and lands with fuel to spare. So, it can certainly fly for more than 2 hours without refueling. As HVT has also said, the endurance is higher at par with the Jaguars. But world over, the single engines generally fly 45-50 minute so...

Here is another data point. The airframe life is set at an extremely conservative figure. This is with the assumption that 1) we will get real performance data from these mules that are driven like hell and 2) they are building one unit for life stress testing.

I am pulling numbers out of my mush***f, Sorties should be less than 2500. Or may dileep could state it here if its not confidential. HAL presentation during SIATI conference clearly said "Already flown 2500 Hours of operational flying". There was no data point that gave number of sorties...

Flaps will not extend if the speed is out of range. There is lot of logic that control the flaps with a number of conditions.

How does moving engine up produce nose-up moment, pls? I assume the engine thrust line on a 737 is located below the c.g. Such increasing thrust increases nose-up moment, I can understand that. If they moved the engine upwards (did they?) it would have reduced the nose-up moment. Confusing. No wond...

^^^ As far as I can recall the software was designed to push the nose down and not up. If it sensed a stall- which is what happened in both cases due to faulty AoA sensors, the nose would be pointed down and the engines accelerated ( to generate speed, and therefore lift, in an attempt to recover f...
