Radome design is 'black art'. We had done some work on one for a satcom terminal, which did not have beam direction criticality, and that itself was terrible. We are currently proposing one for an airborne weather radar, which is orders of magnitude tougher. It spins my head thinking about the needs...

Dileep sir, I will ask the question here and you can reply in the military aviation thread. Any updates on the developments on the IJT? That program worries and excited me. Answered there.

Dileep sir, I will ask the question here and you can reply in the military aviation thread. Any updates on the developments on the IJT? That program worries and excited me. No idea.

As per my understanding, the production goes as follows: 1. The front, mid and rear jigs are used to create the three major subassemblies. There are six sets of such jigs. 2. They are joined together with the wings and landing gear on the designated bay on the hangar floor. There is no jig for that....

Dileep

No idea what type of failures. Will ask. But being seen the way the suppliers build them, I agree with you.

Dileep

It was a "Supply Chain Conference" so, no juicy technical info was presented like radar EW etc. The math doesn't add up clearly for 16 aircraft. We know that there are 6 jigs. So,theoretically if they can reduce the 6 months to 4.5 months, you can reach 16. But IMHO that is a tall order. B...

Malayalam: ആന (aana) : That is 'elephant' not 'big'. But colloquially sometimes we add 'aana' prefix to indicate big. example aana-maNTan : big idiot. But that is very rare, and can not be used as a general rule. The Tamil prefix pEr is pretty common, and can be used as a general rule.

I will have one more opportunity to talk to the guys soon enough. I will try to pry out answers. Add one more question - Once the suppliers are reached to 8/yr rate which was planned AFAIK, Is HAL planning to off load more sub-assy work that they themselves are doing currently, eventually reaching ...

Dileep

One of the things the HAL guy said during the presentation was that there was no "User Evaluation Trials" for Tejas, as if that is a great thing. Maybe it is... I am pretty sure that the babufolk raised objection that UET was not done before placing the order. They have a procedure written...

The 80 micron is the precision of the whole jig, which is like several meters in length, and that too assembly of many sub parts. Imagine the bumper to bumper length of your car, and maintaining 80 micron. P-friggin-henomenal that is.

Dileep

One correction: "Jigs calibrated to 80 micron"

There was a 'conference' by SIATI on Fri Sat at HAL Convention Centre. Got some gyan from the presentations. 1. HAL really upbeat about completing the production of FOC Mk1 by March 2021. 2.

Most of us grew up on secular cool aid. All of us, including yindoos, RoL and RoP. It is difficult to wean people away from cool aid. But I think the current situation actually did it.

Which character indicate L in devanagari? Ramana, the state is really homogenous, and people do not hold the old rajadom (the brits never considered these are 'kings') to any consideration, except (hnairgoils is likely to blow a gasket here) some people in Trivandrum.

Simulation is not trusted for any safety or mission critical aspects. As per my understanding, none of the aerodynamic aspects are certified based on simulation. However, electrical simulations are sometimes accepted as means of compliance now. Of course, they are much simpler than aerodynamics. I h...

Ramana I was specifically answering to your statement which is, well, categorically wrong.

We absolutely do!! And we put them into good use.

Ramana, you are categorically wrong there. Todays quad core Xeons are way more powerful that the whole pentium clusters of Param on which the original LCA simulations ran. Now even you and I can buy a bunch of blade servers and run them in cluster. I know for a fact that NAL do have a few behemoths ...

I stand corrected. It is indeed the left line, which is longer.

So, this 'agitation' is now apparently getting modeled upon the 'vimochana samaram', the agitation against the 1958 commie govt in KL, which ended in the govt being dismissed.

We did go overboard optimistic and aggressive on specing out LCA (against the wishes of the Prodyuts and Matheswarans) and we managed to pull it off. But engine is a different story altogether.

Dileep

Next step would be the demand that the desi engine should have performance 10% better than the proposed F414 Enhanced

Definitely the 'kill pill' unless we are ready to compromise a bit. We should start with Indica to reach Harrier in due course.
