    Once the project gets sanctioned, multiple of head of accounts are generated under various categories for funding. I am sure that MkII project also had some funds allocated for Pre-project activity/R&D/development of jigs etc. under which non-engine related developments could go on. Coming to...

    ADA Tejas Mark-II/Medium Weight Fighter

    Indeed, there are many well motivated people working in HAL. But the problem is two way; the diligent employee of HAL will continue to get more or less same salary even when its production line performs fabulously fast or gets delayed for years. And there are bad apples in every work force...

    AFAIK, they are planning retractable IFR probe. So, these arts are quite accurate as per the information available about MWF/Mk II. PS: They are doing a wonderful job which is supposed to be done by ADA and HAL. Check the posters/catalog of HAL/ADA for their prospective platforms, you will feel...
