AMCA - Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (HAL)

[Lonewolf]

Ok I believe was just asking in case you have.
did he tell anything about specs

EOTS is there ,but something about removable , DAS is present ,no irst ,proper DAS , no increment in mk1 weapons bay , it's fixed .

He won't comment on amca mk2 ,even if you beg him .

Something about passive antenna and some active elements around the body for radar and ew

 

[FalconSlayers]

Last id ,banned , trolled a pork . It's upto u ,wanna believe or not

Truet me vro is your source?

Truet me vro is your source?

Then don't trust it , cause I don't have ss right now , I told yall earlier in pm

DAS is confirmed , Only EOTS is in doubt. As for 2024 rollout 4 parts were already fabricated by Air India 2021.

EOTS is definitely there I can guarantee

How does he know all this the project is not yet handed over to hal

I have the screenshot though, dunno if authorised to share or not.

Share it right meow

EOTS is definitely there , noticed by @FalconSlayers. U can see the discussion about it few pages behind

No I mean official proof ,that is, directly from Horse's Mouth. AMCA Project Director skipped the question in DDR interveiw just answered there will be something similar to DAS.

Maybe due to project being too eye catching and raising multiple questions ,and info is kept secret on it

What so special about this DAS? It's just MAWS + VR + An expansive cool looking helmet. I have a homemade DAS made specially for my Maruti Alto. It gives me 360° coverage just like F35. If IAF wants i can make few for their AMCA too.

You don't believe me? Wait, once i file a patent of my invention than i'll hire you as my Alto driver.

Can you design one for my bicycle as well?

Also is FBO a revolutionary capability? I think it will only improve control sensitivity over current FBW making the plane more nimble- which is a good to have, but does nothing for stealth the primary aim. 5th gen isn't expected to be very agile with no canards etc so what aim does FBO achieve? Probably a better fit on Mk2.

FBO benefits:
1. Fibre optics not susceptible to Electro-Magnetic Interference.
2. Lighter in weight compared to FBW.
3. Higher bandwidth.
4. More power efficient compared to FBW.

FBO benefits:
1. Fibre optics not susceptible to Electro-Magnetic Interference.

What about the transceivers doing the electric to light (& reverse) conversion at either end of the fibre optic? Surely they can be fried?

2. Lighter in weight compared to FBW.

True all weight savings go to increase payload but also more fragile? how to deal with cuts in the fibre optics from usual wear and tear caused by rigours of flight?

3. Higher bandwidth.

Do you really need a bandwidth of over 60 Tbps vs 10 Gbps of copper wires? We aren't exactly streaming 8K movies on a fighter plane.

4. More power efficient compared to FBW.

but has the humble copper cable ever been accused of consuming too much onboard power? I would assume the radar & its cooling system, sensors, actuators, LADs, landing gears to be bigger hoggers of onboard power.

FBO seems to solve a flight problem that does not exist.

Indian scientists discover materials that self-repair mechanical damages


Posted On: 24 JUL 2021 5:10PM by PIB Delhi



New materials may soon make it possible for damaged electronic components, such as in space crafts, to mend themselves. The materials recently developed by scientists can repair their own mechanical damages with the electrical charges generated by the mechanical impact on them.

This material has promises beyond the aerospace industry. Are the big tech houses in India looking? Hello!?

Maybe godrej , bhel ,lnt will get TOT ,but for its specific variant

The mil grade ICs tend to be protected/shielded from EMF and photonic component tend to more resilient to EMF.
The reason why Fibre is said to be more tolerant to noise and EMF because in case of copper wire the copper core tends to behave like a good antenna that generates and transmits EMF and is a very good receiver of EMF which intern distorts the signal and in-extreme case can damage the transceiver.
Their are lot of practical problem (runtime/dynamic)when using copper wires.

True all weight savings go to increase payload but also more fragile? how to deal with cuts in the fibre optics from usual wear and tear caused by rigours of flight?

Fibre wire used in aircarft is quite shielded and are not like the Jio or Airtel FTTH wire that come to our residence.
A typical general purpose fibre wire cross-section.

An armored fibre cable

Do you really need a bandwidth of over 60 Tbps vs 10 Gbps of copper wires? We aren't exactly streaming 8K movies on a fighter plane.

Absolutely true but Fibre may have an advantage in terms of latency. Again a lot depends on the architecture of the system.

but has the humble copper cable ever been accused of consuming too much onboard power? I would assume the radar & its cooling system, sensors, actuators, LADs, landing gears to be bigger hoggers of onboard power.

Not quite true. Power needs to be analyzed in details terms of avionics as a laser diode for fiber is more power intensive than driving a copper wire.
