This illustrates an important point - the security paradigm is tighter in the services than in DRDO... , there is an active effort by our enemies to get all kinds of information (even a small scrap helps to build a collage) What is the security "paradigm" of the MoD /Govt . Is it NONE ? ....

Big bonanza for banking sector Government officials listed out plans to increase spending on infrastructure projects such as the construction of 34,800 km of roads under the BharatMala programme with an investment of Rs 5,35,000 crore.

AND, excess installed thrust. You put huge excess installed thrust (like F15 and Mig 29), even with a less efficient (ie, statically stable airframe vs an F16 like relaxed stability), you can power your way thru a turn.

I simply don't understand what is Modi government thinking while doing all this non-sense. They seems totally clueless on what needs to be done.

It's always been a mystery to me why we have so few IITs. We should'e had by now at least 20+ around the country,in Tier-2 cities (if Calicut can have an IIM ,why not an IIT too?) as well.

The other one Q. How is motion of helicopter effected? Is it differential pitch, tilt of rotor disc? What happens to the fuselage? Ans. The final reason why helicopter moves in 2D plane is due to rotor disc tilting in that direction ( for forward motion , rotor disc is lowest at 12 o clock point) a...

vina

Oh, the rotor disc does tilt forwards, backwards, sidewards etc. Yes but the helicopter tilts with the disc and the disc cannot tilt and rock separately as shown in the Britannica images posted earlier. Those images are wrong. It is more complicated than that. My understanding is that it depends on...

vina

The rotor disc does not need to tilt forward or backwards for forward (or backward) flight. Oh, the rotor disc does tilt forwards, backwards, sidewards etc. That is the only way the helicopter can move in whatever direction (other than up and down). That "rotor disc" is the conceptual the...

While hovering, there is no difference in the flow around the advancing or the retreating blade. The wall on the left affects the vortex ring on the left, amplifying it. This asymmetry pushes the heli to the left and back. Yes. However, do look up the question I posted just before this. What happen...

vina

No while hovering you have to cater to recirculating air which the wall on the left interferes with thus reducing the benefits of ground cushion. Also the force on the retreating blade acts 90 degrees to where it is applied as it precesses Ok. Yes if you are in ground effect. But let me put the sam...

vina

One of the favourite question of Air Crew Examination Board was what happens when hovering close to a wall on the left? :eek: What happens? My guess, you crash into the wall, because of the suction effect that will be created by the air flowing faster between the helicopter and the wall compared to...

and again, here is our GST obsessed country. twitter GST on penalties for not maintaining minimum bank balances! What's going on? Quite logical.

GST is a terrific solution. I will explain by example. Take the case of a trader who imports goods from overseas into Mumbai and distributes across India.

What is the fundamental purpose of GST? To make India into a common market so that it has economies of scale and not the splintered micro markets each state had become.
