AMCA - Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (HAL)

[Payeng]

AMCA is expected to have a radar reflective coating on canopy, chances are that it would be a gold coating

Ok, then continue...

we are continuing, I have not seen chinease doing anything similar, may they don't want to show the stolen pictures.

 

[ace009]

I am not sure the comments are from people who have worked in any development facility, far less a fab lab. Go and take a look at any fab lab at MIT - this is very similar to what you will see - but then China and Pakistan maybe doing better than MIT - I would not know.

The above monstrosity seems have been made by chinese peasants who were forced into working in the chendu toy factory after their rice fields were destroyed by the people's party to build that toy factory.

This bird is just like everything else made in china, it has the look of oppression

 

[ice berg]

If peasants can build that, I can assure you that noone will mess with their rice fields.

 

[Immanuel]

Everything made in china is forced, lacks true freedom of artistic expression can be easily likened to garbage and quite clearly junk


JF-17 blunder

India's own AMCA fighter
Published July 5, 2012 | By admin

With so much attention paid to India's LCA Tejas and the Indo-Russian Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA – but officially designated Prospective Multi-role Fighter or PMF) programme, it is important to remember that the DRDO is also designing and developing India's own next generation medium fighter, the AMCA, a stealthy twin-engined strike fighter that is intended to be an Indian take on the F-22 Raptor.

The computer design images above, from the Advanced Projects & Technologies (AP&T) Directorate of India's Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) provide valuable impressions on the stealth design elements that are known to be going into India's advanced medium combat aircraft (AMCA). Serpentine air intakes (with minimum flow distortion and robust pressure recovery) and internal weapons bays, depicted in the images above, are some of the most critical nose-on low observability design elements going into the programme.

As part of the multidisciplinary design optimisation (MDO) currently on for the AMCA—a wind tunnel model of which was first publicly displayed at AeroIndia 2009—that design-based stealth features will include further optimised airframe shaping, edge matching, body conforming antennae and a low IR signature through nozzle design, engine bay cooling and work on reduced exhaust temperature. Radar absorbent materials and paints, special coatings for polycarbonate canopy and precision manufacturing will all be part of the effort to make the AMCA India's first stealth airplane.

With aerodynamic design optimisation near complete, the AMCA's broad specifications are final. The aicraft will have a weight of 16-18 tonnes [16-18 tons with 2-tons of internal weapons and four-tonnes of internal fuel with a combat ceiling of 15-km, max speed of 1.8-Mach at 11-km. The AMCA will be powered by 2 x 90KN engines with vectored nozzles—likely to be the new GTRE-Snecma engine under development.

Pardon the ignorance but why does the lab look like a High School Physics lab? Does not look like a great place to come to everyday morning.

All infrastructure and stuff built in the 80s. Who the heck's gonna pay for the renovation?

However nobody there cares about how bad the buildings look. People are used to it. It is the tools and equipment that matters.

Above it is a chubby AMCA.

ouais... but what happens if the screen fails? is there a backup screen to pull up any information?

The pilot should have a helmet-mounted display.

Isn't that just a HUD? He would already have one of those, unless it was an F-35.

You got a point.

 

[sayareakd]

this was taken in 2008 it was made by HALbit a JV company.

Heck even radars fail during combat and so does the engine. We merely live with it.

The failure rate of displays will be in many hours anyway.

do anyone hav latest pic of amca

LCA got dedicated SSDU- Smart Standby Display Units, just in case.

There is always a lot of redundancy built into military equipment. If something goes wrong, the aircraft is always withdrawn from combat.

That's why there is such things called serviceability rates and availability rates.
