MTA Program by UAC/HAL

[LurkerBaba]

Moscow and New Delhi have finally come to an agreement over the joint development of a medium-lift military transport aircraft under the MTA programme. The plane should replace the ageing An-12 and An-26 fleet, while becoming an alternative to the American-made С-130 Hercules recently purchased by the Indian Air Force. By entering into this contract, Russia is hoping to restore its seriously weakened positions in military and technical cooperation with India, while India is aiming to achieve transport independence from outside suppliers.


The contract for МТА development and manufacture has been signed between the Russian-Indian joint venture MTAL, as the customer, the Indian corporation Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), and the Russian company UAC-Transport Aircraft (TS) as the contractors.

The project is valued at $600 million, half of which is to be invested by the Indian Government through state-owned HAL and the other half by Russia through the state-owned corporation Rosoboronexport and the United Aircraft-Building Corporation (UAC). Representatives of both countries' defence ministries will monitor the aircraft's compliance with the requirements at every stage.

India holds a 50 percent interest in the joint-venture, with the Russian state-owned companies holding 25 percent each. UAC is expecting the imminent arrival of a big group of Indian engineers in Moscow to start joint work on the project. UAC-TS has already prepared all the requisite engineering and technical infrastructure for them to work together with their Russian counterparts.

"We have received a legal order and financing for the MTA from the Russian-Indian JV. Russia and India have an equal participation in the venture. Both countries have invested $300 million each, making a total of $600 million," deputy general director of JSC Rosoboronexport and head of the joint delegation of state corporation Rostech and JSC Rosoboronexport Viktor Komardin told reporters at the LIMA-2013 Arms Exhibition.

He said that on the Russian side the aircraft would be developed by Ilyushin Aviation Complex. As soon as Ilyushin creates, tests, and presents a working prototype, the JV will commence production. The aircraft is due to be built in both India and Russia. "Here, Rosoboronexport will play a big role," said Komardin.

It was reported earlier that this year would see India and Russia sign a full-scale contract on the test development of the MTA. In 2012, India's HAL Corporation and Russia's Ilyushin agreed and signed a contract on the joint development of a blueprint of the aircraft.

Russia and India set up a JV to design and develop the medium-payload MTA. Its founders were India's HAL (50%) and Russia's United Aircraft Corporation (25%) and Rosoboronexport (25%). The headquarters of the JV will be based in Bangalore.

The Russian version of the aircraft is due to be fitted with PS-90A-76 engines each with a thrust of 14.5 metric tons. It is not yet known which engines the Indian version of the MTA will feature.

Production facilities will be located in both countries. The Indian Ministry of Defence plans to pre-order 45 aircraft, and the Russian Air Force is expected to purchase approximately 100. At the initial stage, it is forecast that 205 aircraft will be manufactured, of which 30% are to be sold globally.

The maximum take-off weight will be 55-60 metric tons. The vehicle will be able to carry different loads of at least 18.5 metric tons. It will be fit for use at high-altitude aerodromes and operational in hot climates.

Military tech prop for indigenous plane
KARAN CHOUDHURY

New Delhi, July 14: India's first civilian aircraft, the plan for which was approved by a high-level committee on manufacturing headed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh last week, may be based on the same platform currently being used to develop a military transport aircraft.

The move is expected to reduce the time taken to design and develop an aircraft from scratch.

The 90-100 seater aircraft will be built by a collaborative venture of National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL), Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL), state-run organisations and private partners.

At present, HAL manufactures aircraft and helicopters for military use under licensed production agreements with foreign vendors.

However, aviation analysts point out that HAL has already entered into a joint venture with Irkut Corporation of Russia to develop and make 60-tonne multi-role transport aircraft (MRTA). Under the pact, Ilyushin Design Bureau of Russia will design the MRTA, and HAL and Irkut will manufacture it in Kanpur.

India chooses Multi- Role Transport Aircraft produced jointly with Russia, cancels tender

NEW DELHI, February 6. /TASS/. India has cancelled its international tender on medium-lift military transport aircraft. The country will instead purchase Multi-Role Transport Aircraft (MTA) designed and being manufactured jointly by India and Russia, a spokesperson for India's Defense Ministry told TASS on Friday. He said India did not find the proposal of participants in the tender for supplying 56 aircraft worth $3 billion satisfactory. "As a result, the Defense Ministry not only declined the deal, but also cancelled the tender altogether," the spokesperson noted. The Indian Air Force has also "reconsidered priorities in replenishing its fleet," he said. "We want to purchase multipurpose transport aircraft of the new generation - MTA. This ambitious project is being developed jointly by Russia's United Aircraft Corporation and India's Hindustan Aeronautics. We expect to sign the final agreement soon," the spokesperson added. The agreement on developing a military transport aircraft with a 20-ton payload for the Air Forces of Russia and India was signed in September 2010. The sides are investing $300 million each in the project. India plans to acquire 45 aircraft, Russia will purchase around 100. MTA will have 2 turbofan engines and maximum takeoff weight of 65 tons. The cruising speed of the aircraft will stand at 800 km/h.

Design of Russia's Multi-Role Transport Aircraft being assessed by India's Air Force

BANGALORE, February 18. / TASS/. Russia and India are developing an advanced joint multi-role military and transport aircraft MTA, the head of the Russian delegation at 10th international aviation and space exhibition Aero India 2015 told journalists in Bangalore on Wednesday. "During the fulfillment of the project on the joint development of the multi- purpose transport aircraft, the Russian and Indian engineers completed the aircraft's design feasibility phase," Anatoly Punchuk said. The results of the aircraft's preliminary design study are "in the final stage of being assessed by India's Air Force," he told journalists at India's main defense and civil-aviation event, which runs through February 20. Russia and India have been cooperating fruitfully in the military-technical sphere. Since 1960, Russia has supplied to India arms and military equipment worth about $40 billion, Punchuk said.

Russian Cabinet approves new joint MTA

Earlier, Yury Slyusar, head of the United Aircraft Corporation reported that this aircraft would be rolled out in Irkutsk later this year, and is expected to take its first flight in mid-2016..

Russia looks set to continue development of the Multirole Transport Aircraft (MTA) on its own after Ilyushin froze co-operation with India on the joint project, state media announced on 13 January.

With the preliminary design of the twin turbofan tactical airlifter now all but finalised, United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) will likely continue with the detailed design phase of the Il-214, as it is known in Russia, through to production without Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), the TASS news agency quoted Ilyushin CEO Sergey Velmozhkin as saying.

"It has been frozen as a joint Russian-Indian project," he said.

While the report gave no particular reason for this development, it was reported in December 2015 that UAC and HAL were in disagreement over the type of powerplant to be fitted to the aircraft, with the former preferring the PD-14M - a modified version of the already in-service Aviadvigtel PS-90A-76 turbofan as fitted to the Il-76 'Candid' - and the latter wanting a completely clean-sheet engine with full authority digital engine control (FADEC).

"The PS-90 does not have FADEC but the necessity of such a system was not there in the technical specifications initially," the president of UAC, Yury Slyusar, told theIndian Economic Times at the time. "It was added later. The technical requirement [for performance] is fully satisfied with the PS-90 engine.

"So the official status is that we have finished the advanced preliminary design stage over a year ago [and] that has to be accepted by the Indian side. We hope they accept the design and move forward," he added.

The Il-214 is expected to have a payload of between 15 and 20 tonnes and a range of 2,500 to 2,700 km, which will put it in the same class of airlifter as the Lockheed Martin C-130 Hercules (22 tonnes) and the Embraer KC-390 (23 tonnes).

Typical iaf bull crap. Changing requirements at last time and then going for expensive imports. Guess changing the changing requirements did not work with well established designers . IAF took InDian designers for a ride with Tejas, adding to delays. Import ki hai ho .

get over the mindset that what ever india does is crap......now to this topic.....why invest in15-20 tonnes payload with older engine n flight controls . when we can buy superior c130 with carrying capacity of 22 tonnes. earlier we were barred from US arms thats why we were intrested in this project but now things are changed. and dont think Russian as very responsible sellers, they had allways sold us old craps.
