^ man rated and more importantly man limited aircraft is going to be made pilotkess. Whatever for.? Humans on planes impose far more physiological limitations limiting design. UCAV's are designed with a differing philosophy. Simple question what is the G limitation for a human rated aircraft ?

prasannasimha

Why all this open source business. We have IPR and product and should sell it as well as r AMC or ekse we are fools.

prasannasimha

Each project has to have ITAR (and some other restrictions) restrictions lifted specifically

It was not just carbon fibre it was also things like multiaxis 5 and more CNC machines which were denied. Local industries started to manufacture them and now we get imported ones too !

prasannasimha

Yes we were unable to get enough carbon fibre.

What I was thinking if you get the shape and avionics first the others will follow

prasannasimha

Problem is most of these are animations and not real tests so we can only wonder.

prasannasimha

Mk3 payload is also going to be increased in stages and next one is by 600 Kg

prasannasimha

^no it just looks that way from the perspective. There is another video out there showing that it was a proper touch down

^^ of course but they also send a message that we are here

All these launches and more so Agni 2 are I feel a reason to raise NOTAM's as silent warnings to lizard. Indian ships around Maldives and missiles coming as they want to steer through Malacca straits. Silent message. I don't need to launch from ITR to cover IOR

The moon rotation and revolution time is the same so the same face faces us all the time so during the new moon period the sun will not light up the moon surface for 15 days so a given point on the moon will be illuminated for 15 days (lunar day) and 15 days will be dark(lunar night)

CEMILAC certification is for military use. Civilian certification is more stringent.

The real issue is the weight - an Agni will weigh much more than a windmill blade isn't it? F=ma will rule

Actually private banks all over the world have caused bigger problems and had to be bailed out by government money when too big to fail or for investor concerns. Thinking everything will be sorted put by privatization is nonsense. Just see the Oh so good service at private banks. Masters at ripping ...

There is no mention as individual components are not mentioned. Pad abort test is going to be done this year.

prasannasimha

This test was likely a tight corner turn test

^ This is not for cross country mobility like the ones on the Russian Steppe but for cross road mobility in various "depot"s and this will not be the actual open trailer but obviously covered and camouflaged

The primary reason for not using parachute landing by SpaceX was the inability to autonomously control the parachute drop due to cross winds for precise landing. Tgey could not do it in initisl tests o opted for vertical landing

prasannasimha

If the payload repackaging came down by 100o Kg then would it be possible using the weight to range curve be calculated ?I think the curves for Agni 1 and 2 were done isnt it.Also could the percentage of net weight reconfiguration in the multistage rocket equation be done to calculate the new total ...

^ Why not Brahmos?

The first aircraft is now in the HAL museum in Bangalore. I think another us on static display in front of the HALoffice in Minsk square

If they are targetting Mars aerobrsking will not be efficient and not possible if they use an interim moon base

prasannasimha

I think the reentry with the flip and controlled reentry is having a lesser reentry heat penalty than the glide aerobraking as speeds are different. The retrorocket firing is an active speed dissemination whereas aerobraking relies on friction to reduce speed causing greater heating.

^ I think there is an 8 line with 8 planes in various stages and a 1/2 line of 4 per year. here is one picture of multiple planes in various stages of assembly by Tarmak. If we look at that we will probably get an idea.

India is having its own reusable vehicle program. There are two competing teams with one trying rlv approach and the other like Elion musk with either verticle or airbag landing. There are old lot's with the concept planning. More importantly this year we will be having the satellite docking experim...

Navarea warning was 700 Kms but the test was done upto900 Kms - not sure how it was done or was it lobbed in a nonoptimal trajectory to simulate a 900 Km path ?
