Vina saar, it seems like both Paypal & E-bay are moving bases to Bangalore soon. Met a guy who will be in very senior level management of Paypal India (he is currently in US...RTIing next year) and he was here in BLR a few weeks ago interviewing folks for offices here.

Dear C, There is enough open source information (BRF forum, articles etc) about LCA program goals, its design features and the program's impact on local Mil-industry Complex. Newbies are requested to go through the same and are encouraged to lurk a while before posting questions which have been answ...

Question for Hari or Raghu...when I used to go through Janes back in 2002-2003 time frame, it was mentioned that HAL intends to reduce ALH weight to around 2200 Kg from existing 2500 Kg. Any progress on this?

Zynda

Let me provide an answer which may be partly correct. I haven't seen the video you mentioned, so really can't comment on the type of material used on A5's heat shield. However if its similar to the heat shield used on NASA's Space Shuttle, the material is basically foam...doesn't have the mech prope...

I think WDG5 is based on different design with increased driver comfort and first Indian loco to comply with crash regulations. There is a pic of the loco on IRFCA website gallery section (supposed to be removed in a few days though). Loco is not a dual cab like Chinese version...single cab. Very lo...

Singha, thanks for response. I will check the shoes you have recommended this weekend. 2160 looks solid... Gakakkad, I did consult Orthopedic surgeon back when this problem started. X-rays were taken & things were normal of course and he prescribed some exercises to track the patella optimally. ...

Folks, need some suggestions on running shoes. I have a slight sports injury on right knee (runners knee). I can do brisk walking without any discomfort. I do some exercises to mitigate the injury again intermittently. I wanna take up running again...very light (about < 3k/day...3-4 days a week). I ...

Better still,stay away from the US unless dire neccessity takes you there! I would like to add another note. Massa is great until your health takes a toss, especially if the condition is sort of a chronic. Also job but it seems for folks in IT, the job situation gets mitigated due to immense opport...

AmberG, I echo Bade's response. That link on Scale of Universe was amazing. I was filled with euphoria as I went through the animation. Thanks a lot for sharing the link

Of course like any other airport in the country, you have autowalas and taxi walas pouncing on you the moment you walk out with your luggage, but the BMTC service is excellent. There are dedicated bus bays and dedicated BMTC people telling you what bus to take to where. ++1, BMTC Volvo is a god sen...

question to gurus..... what is the safe altitude and speed for ejection... i heard that many times eventough pilot survived the crash he may not be in a position for retaining his flying status..... Let me take a stab at it. Most modern fighters' ejection seats have a zero-zero rating i.e. they can...

This article talks about lot of manufacturing returning back to US from China in the next decade plus host of other things. Can gurus pitch in with their opinions about the article?

Singha,
Congrats for participating in a marathon. Running is very addictive. My onlee suggestion and you probably know this as well is to do good stretching exercises before & after your running session. I hurt my knee this way around two years ago...

Emirates has possibly one of the best range of fleets. Back in 09, I did JFK-BLR-JFK (changed planes at DXB). As Singha pointed out BLR-DXB was on A330-200 and flight was short but flight didn't feature Emirate's excellent ICE (they had a stripped down version which was horrible). DXB-JFK was 15 hou...

Singha, I am in non-IT and not in massa anymore. Have very little idea abt IT job scenario outside CA. Just wanted to bring out the contrast b/w scenario in Bay Area & rest of the US. Most of the IT ppl I know are in Bay Area with stable jobs (enough to make them invest in 500K plus homes). Anyw...

This isn't probably what TATA wants Nano to be used, but how the car used for replacing auto rickshaws? Sort of make it cheap city cab.

From what I understand, in airplanes with tricycle landing gear configuration, nose landing is avoided as plane can trip forward. The plane lands on MLG until it slows down to speeds which are safe enough for nose wheel touch down. probably the only exception of beefier NLG might be with carrier bas...

Shivji,
Would like your permission to share Tejas video you shot @ AI on my FB account. I wanna present Tejas's capabilities to a lot of my naysayers friends.

Zynda

Err...where are the two Raptors US was supposed to fly for AI?! Also conspicuous absence of PAK-FA models at Sukhoi stand or did I miss them?

It was 4 ship performance...I think some of the maneuvers included just 3 of them

I found out the hard way years ago weekends are a bad time to visit AI...best is to shell bucks for bujiness pass and visit on weekdays preferably Thu or Friday. Again years ago there wasn't much crowd on these days as well but this time it seemed like a lot more crowded. Also got a feeling that exh...

Yep, that was their act. It would have been super cool if Tejas had done something similar...hopefully they will during the actual AeroIndia days show. Also I think the LCH on flying display is TD-1. It has a chin mounted gun...not sure if the TD-2 has received the same. May be Mr. Hari from HAL cou...

Folks,
I bought a business pass at SBI Jay 2nd block branch. No credit accepted and long line. Whole process took almost 2hrs. Anyway, I was wondering if we could compile list of questions that could be asked about various products.
