single similar round can be seen at the tail. also wingtips seems to be modified withe respect to commercial version. will some expert explain what will be the effect of modified wingtips on performance?
Not an expert, but I think those are similar to the 'winglets' on the Boeing 737's that reduce drag and improve lift.adityadange wrote: what are the 2 black round shapes at the center fuselage? if seen upside down, it resembles to eyes and nose of a human![]()

That one refers to (it can add up to some 7% in distance) (and is older than the Wright Bros design!!!):Shameek wrote: Edit: Adding a link to some information on this: http://www.b737.org.uk/winglets.htm
It's for ceremonial purposes; usually for inauguration or for example when a captain retires. They also do this for boats.aniket wrote:Why is the water being sprayed, to clean the aircraft or for ceremonial purposes ?

Are SF folks are cool with JKP wearing red berets or there a subtle shade distinction that escapes me?
I had seen these images a few days ago on StupidBook but had no clue whose those were.Vishal Jolapara wrote:http://forums.bharat-rakshak.com/viewto ... 4#p1290804

Every time I see a photo of this intrepid hero, I pay my respects to him and all others in the Indian armed forces who have laid down their lives to ensure our freedom and safety.
Riza, not sure why you think I would have a problem with beards. Mine was a legitimate question about red berets put in a sardonic way (which does not translate well on the Internet so I can understand your taking it literally).Riza Zaman wrote:Punjab Police Commandos also wear maroon berets and turbans ... and surprise, the Sikh ones have beards too! I find it rather hilarious that some of have the freedom to criticize those who are in harm's way while we are safely behind our computers.Amitabh wrote: As I look at this picture, every ounce of my ingrained Hindu belief (mostly about preserving hierarchy) screams out the following: Why is a cop wearing a red beret?!

This is the ARC Apron at IGI Delhi, not IAF Palam.Vishal Jolapara wrote:^ Looks like Palam, the AF Museam hangar should be ahead of the hangar (not pictured here), down the road
IAF base security needs to be ramped up substantially. That picture shows how easy it might be for a team of saboteurs to disable/destroy the aircraft parked on the apron just before the country is attacked (open road on the left and single fencing protecting the aircraft). Same thing I saw at Pune also: no security worthy of its name (barbed wire fence and single manned towers with single INSAS rifle) that is capable of stopping a determined attack into the base.jai wrote:This is the ARC Apron at IGI Delhi, not IAF Palam.Vishal Jolapara wrote:^ Looks like Palam, the AF Museam hangar should be ahead of the hangar (not pictured here), down the road
I thought the ARC area was part of AF station Palam, rather than IGI Delhi?jai wrote:This is the ARC Apron at IGI Delhi, not IAF Palam.Vishal Jolapara wrote:^ Looks like Palam, the AF Museam hangar should be ahead of the hangar (not pictured here), down the road
