First get 5g airframe in air, then add rest. Get it fast.

Looks like FGFA project in trouble. AMCA would benefitted from it. http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/indo-russian-multirole-transport-aircraft-programme-indian-air-force/1/959013.html An ambitious Indo-Russian project to co-develop fifth generation fighter planes has hit major roadblocks...

I always think if we have airframe ready we should test that with existing engines, even with stealth bomber, we could use teo kaveri engines on wing design as we dont want to go supersonic with that. Keep putting ideas into reality, if it work fine, refined it and put to production. More money...

If you want on the top of the game, lot of money need to be spend on R&D. So if two designs exists, its good idea. Even for F35, they had two designs , initially.

With 3D printing they can make flying prototype with ease, drdo and HAL looks like very low on confidence. I am horified after seeing time line. We need to have mix of old and new top brains, or else we better drop it. No poi t i dragging it for 25-30 years. You have learn from LCA, move...

We should have tested basic 5g frame with what ever tech we have developed and whats learn for LCA, later on all the things should have been substituted. Its stupid idea to have all the tech ready first and then make it. We will fell behind with this approch. EVEN CHINI DID THIS. its not as...

IAF will soon find out what a huge mistake they have made when Chinese J20 which is already inducted, will be fully operational in huge huge numbers by PLAAF and J31 by PAF. We will at that point have no other option but to run and cry to uncle, if Russian schedule is screw up. IAF should...

Come on we want this, set up core team of people, with good budget, get cracking. Failure and delay is not an option. Two Chinese 5G will be flying with PLAAF and PAF. We need our 5G, fast and potent

we need 10,000 crores of investment in this and we have to make sure that this money stays in India. That way we will have complete eco system for the plane. We need to hire people for defence. I read some place that we have less then 20,000 people employed in defence production in private sector.

IAFis about to secrew us big time, China has two 5g frames flying. Soon PLAAF & PAF will tag team us. IAF will just cry foul.

How much time it will take them to prove airframe with the existing tech developed for LCA ? They should make at least one such airframe and fly it with US engine to test the concept.

any idea if this facility is in India ?

HAL has made LCA pilot friendly because of the inputs by test pilots.

this is what is official

sir you have point, but they can get it down from abroad or ISRO facility.

Hi and welcome to DFI. in future dont give name of groups, etc, just discuss in general way. thanks.

hope you are right, R&D should not be put to hold. in late 1980s and 1990 when US put pressure on us to stop work on Agni, Unofficially project continued.

@ersakthivel, well you are right that news report that AMCA is put on hold is by unnamed official, nothing official about it, but do expect these type of things in matter of defence. But if you take this news with what is going on with LCA and all the statements made by Antony for IOC 2 and FOC...

Re: Kaveri Engine I did mention that it was put on hold Officially unofficially they can do what ever they want. Executive cannot overrule political elected masters. It will send bad example. Hope you understand what i am saying.

Re: Kaveri Engine AMCA is put on hold officially as GOI first want DRDO and HAL to deliver LCA with FOC, only then they should go for second aircaft. Whole team which build LCA after lca development is finished will be waste of knowledge learn and we are going to be taken by granted to who so...
