As explained, not when you are hired for the design AND the development and testIng. Either way, the point was that the design was based on MBB design base and there is no doubt about that.

Actually it's better this way, than to do it on their own. Civil operators might have more trust in Dhruv if they are sold and supported by TATA for example. If they find a good partner it's a smart move, but it won't be easy and what I have read so far, getting the needed civil aviation...

Sieh dir den Tweet von @HALHQBLR an:

So your only point is the wording? Just read this and the following posts: http://defenceforumindia.com/forum/threads/hal-advanced-light-helicopter-dhruv.3144/page-37#post-831724 Also contrary to Dassault in LCA, MBB was not hired for the design only, but also as a "consultant" for the...

Of course they did and that's why they have the obvious similarities, which are based on the German design (and as you probably know, not the only indigenous development that was based on German designs). The whole development was based on MBB's "design" experience and know how, to develop an...

Not at all, since we used a foreign design and techs to customize it to our needs. HALs part is the further development from it, by replacing forein parts and using the lessons they learned later to re-design Dhruv varients and now LCH and LUH. That's a proper learning curve, you learn to walk...

From HAL's official account (Civil Version).

That was about the civil version of Dhruv, probably to attract a partner to fund, produce and market that specific version.

It's directly from HAL, so it should be correct and regarding ASMs, the British and French navy will use the new MBDA FASGW-ANL on their light to medium weight naval helicopters (Lynx and Panther), while MBDA offered also the new Matre anti ship missile during Aero India, but mainly for medium...

AFAIK they have only tested Torpedos so far, but they shouldn't be much lighter right?

A folding tail was planned for the ASW version of Dhruv as well, but even if not, that wouldn't be a real issue since the Dhruv is way shorter than the Sea King anyway (15.87m vs 22.15m) and it can carry 2 x Torpedos, or anti ship missiles as well, so that's not a problem either. The Dhruv is...

As far as I know IN has send out an RFI/RFP for 60 foreign naval LUHs (including the naval Eurocopter Fennec) to replace them and I didn't meant to replace them with this version of Dhruv, but to replace bigger Sea King and Kamov naval helicopter in the ASW role and as the prime naval helicopter...

Another pic of the naval Dhruv (imo the most beautiful one) And my version of a streched Dhruv for the ASW requirement of IN: The idea is to strech it to increase the internal space and also internal fuel capacity, because the lack of range was one reason why the naval Dhruv was...
