    IDN Archives: Why India Should Dump The FGFA Project?

    Since 2011 we have started making AL 31FP engine from raw materials rather then kits, it took some time but technology is now almost absorbed http://www.oneindia.com/feature/hal-propels-fortunes-koraput-engine-division-with-gen-next-projects-1590744.html

    There was transfer of blueprint, not of any hard technology to make the rocket engine like material, fuel etc. Plus AMCA and FGFA have different funding, they will not eat each other. The HAL failed to absorb the technology . Making materials for such manufacturing is difficult but even when...

    Ukraine has no technology for power nuclear submarine or cryogenic engine. We only had to import material as we have no plant for making those material. The machining was done here. Watch this round table to get a idea

    Look at nuclear submarine or GSLV, it depends on the negotiations and follow up work. Even with IPR we have to build the required infrastructure and maintain tight quality control. Instead of HAL, let's give Tata advance system a chance, the have better quality control.

    It going mainly be involve in data analysis but looking at new Russian weapons with a switch of button they will be almost autonomous killer. Look at T 14, it has the ability to find, acquire , lock and load the shell only require human input to fire. It will be similar.

    Let the IAF fly the jet, it should be our priority to get at least one prototype flown for about 100 hr by our pilots so IAF has a idea of jet so we know what technology we want for full ToT and with IPR. Plus we need to increase the efficency of our manufacturing which can be done by acquiring...

    I had the opportunity to talk about this with a IAF test pilot about it, presently IAF just seen presentation of the jet capability and some result of test but The IAF wants to have test the aircraft itself while the Russian wants to complete their test first. IAF plans to fly at least one pak...

    IAF wants have second pilot for more situational awareness while the VKS is going for a electronic pilot (AI and machine learning).

    Sir PAKFA is will give us a lot of technology like GaN, IR countermeasures plus we can reuse the codes from PAKFA for our AMCA similar to how F 22 codes were used in F 35. Also we get a newer weapons suit . Also presently we the engine of AMCA is just a computer design, God forbid if it turns...

    But the basic requirements still remain the same. F 117 does not require to have high speed so it can have sharp edges which increase drag bit a fighter cannot as it has to travel fast.It engine does not require large of air as it will nit perform high stress manoeuvres. That also means a less...

    The F 117 design has very poor aerodynamic performance. It cannot fly fast, carry a lot of load or had agility, all is sacrifice for stealth. 20 years ago this will do the trick but now VHF & UHF radar are mature enough to tell approximate location of such planes. IR probes have better...

    The total module in present front radar and cheek radar are 2000, all GaN AESR, the there are DARFIM jammer in almost all frequency, two IR jammer a rear radar 2 l band radar for EW and two IR probe along with AI. The machine will learn and program it self in real time. How exactly is it weak...

    Such a design sacrifices performance for stealth, if found the F 117 cannot run or fight back. Not something that is good when anti stealth technologies are getting better.

    The new engine with dry thrust greater then 100 kn is already in final stages of Ground test, first air test within a year The glass in IR probe is transparent to x band radar, it shape does not matter. As for s shape inlet, these inlet leave the engine at high stress starved of air, that why...
