Shape Memory Alloy, a advance technology used in Light combat aircraft LCA Tejas

Shape memory alloy is a very advance technology will be used for morphing capabilities. Sixth generation fighter aircraft will be made of this material.

India is progressing well in this technology. Good to see that counties most advance technology is going in LCA tejas





What is Shap Memory Alloy ??

Inida, DEBEL , Anti G suite, Flame Retardant for Lca Tejas, Su-30, MIG, Jaugar





India , DEBEL , FR Automatic Inflatable life Jacket, intended for preventing the pilot from drowning in the event of tejection over sea



Any ideas when it will be in service? This is needed especially when you see MKI pilots only flying with anti-G trousers and their top half with nothing and what's worse is it's the same for the IN MiG-29K pilots FLYING ON AIRCRAFT CARRIERS!!! I don't understand how the IAF and IN have allowed this to become acceptable.

'Integrated Life Support System' & 'On-board oxygen generating system' for light combat aircraft LCA, at Aero India 2014







DRDO readies on-flight oxygen generator for Tejas | Free Press Journal
[ Dec 29, 2014 ]
The DRDO Monday announced the completion of an indigenous 'on-board oxygen generating system' designed for light combat aircraft (LCA) Tejas, saying it was ready for final trials.

The system – Integrated Life Support System-On Board Oxygen Generating System (ILSS-OBOGS) – will now undergo ground fitment trials on the Tejas, followed by flight trials.

Once trials are successfully completed, India will join the elite club of five countries who have established and mastered the technology in the field of ILSS for military flying.

The system uses the bleed air from the aircraft's engine to produce oxygen, instead of the usual liquid oxygen based system.

The technology consists of OBOGS that provides oxygen for breathing, a breathing regulator that supplies the breathing gas to the aircrew at desired flow and pressure, an Anti-G-Valve (AGV) that inflates the anti-gravity suit to apply desired counter pressure and an Electronic Controller Unit (ECU) to coordinate various functions.

A Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) official said the system will be helpful in long endurance flights.

"This system gets integrated within the confined space available in the aircraft. It replaces the Liquid Oxygen based system (LOX) by utilising bleed air from the aircraft engine by separating oxygen from other components by a process based on Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology," the official said.

This will prove to be beneficial as the LCA has lesser space to store the liquid oxygen.

"It also provides improved safety, reduced logistics and significantly lowered operational costs," the DRDO official said.

Why Titanium Is Used in the Aircraft Industry??

Due to its strength-to-weight ratio, titanium is being used in military and aerospace applications to reduce weight and increase durability in extreme conditions. Titanium also exhibits exceptional elevated temperature performance and offers overall superior corrosion resistance.

Titanium alloys are used in aircraft, armor plating, naval ships, spacecraft, and missiles. For these applications, titanium alloyed with aluminum, vanadium, and other elements is used for a variety of components, including critical structural parts, firewalls, landing gear, exhaust ducts (helicopters), and hydraulic systems.

Titanium's ability to be fabricated and machined enables critical parts for increased armor protection against ballistic threats to be manufactured, while its high mass efficiency and relative low cost provide lighter weight structural integrity for aerospace and NASA space program applications.

Preference and usage of titanium and its alloys in military and aerospace applications stems from its high strength and exemplary reliability attributes when compared to alternate structural metals including alloys of steel and aluminum. Titanium is as strong as steel but half its weight; it is also twice as strong as aluminum yet nearly equal in weight.

@abingdonboy, Unfortunately by this time, when took this snap, was having very less time to ask questions on this stall as EVENT was about to end at 5.00 PM. Possibly,.. we will see LCA tejas pilot using this after FOC. It Must be the part of LCA tejas "package". Eventually all other fighter plane( pilot) will use this.
