HAL needs some expert services on interior design, fit and finish. A great product if not packaged well, will lose limelight. We just need to add good aesthetics and showcase to world our manufacturing capabilities.Inside LUH,....The Cockpit

Fair enough but let's not be overly critical- no helo goes from first flight to certified and in service overnight, it takes many years.Pretty. Hate being spoilsport but cautious optimism should be the approach. Going by lch example there are going to be many years before loh enters service
This is just a mock up, the real thing will be as good as any similar Western product. HAL follows near identical safety/certification practicies as the West (N.America and Europe), the ALH is a quality product, the LUH and LCH won't be any different.HAL needs some expert services on interior design, fit and finish.

It does not have the tail rotor but has tow rotors one above other rotating in opposite direction to manage (Nullify)the force in a particular direction generated out of rotation.. This will save about 15% of energy used in tail rotor and we may better utilize the energy for lifting the chopper than managing the torque generated by upper rotor. So in normal chopper power is distributed 85% in upper rotor and 15% in tail rotor (Which is useless yet necessary to keep chopper stable). In this double rotor design, we may use full power in lifting the chopper.During BRICS 2016, we have linked lot of deals with Russia, and one of them is 200 Kamov 226 LUH....
So is it to say good bye HAL's LUH/LOH!?
How K-226 is better than our LUH.....
Gurus, please shed some light
No, Ka 226 is a double engine copper while LUH is single engine.During BRICS 2016 Summit, we have made lot of deals with Russia and one of them is 200 Kamov 226 LUH.
Doesn't this deal kill our HAL LUH/LOH!?
What are the parameters where K-226 excel our LUH.
Gurus please shed some light on this.
P.s. I think S-400 came with lot of strings attached.
No, Ka 226 is a double engine copper while LUH is single engine.Think of it like the Cheetah and Chetal copper team.Ka 226 has modular design which might help in future copper design.
LUH/LOHBefore going further, Check out specs between KA 226 and Dhruv not LUH ..
No, IAF is going to operate a mix.During BRICS 2016 Summit, we have made lot of deals with Russia and one of them is 200 Kamov 226 LUH.

Now some of the features that make Kamov Ka-226T so special.Ok, but here is the question.....
If I have my bike and my cousins bike, i would prefer to use my bike.
When we have equally capable helo LUH as k-226, then we should buy LUH unless
1. K-226 provides additional advantages than LUH.
2. LUH encountered a serious problem and may take more time and may not be available by early 20's.OR
3. We are forced to buy Kamov as it is tied up with S-400.OR
So folks, the reason could be any of the above. I know it is not 1 and can only hope it is not 2
Here are some other reasons that may have prompted the MoD decision in favor of Ka-226TOk, but here is the question.....

Main reason I.guess is promotion of Make in India which has been happening since last 2 years of this government. Good fot domestic industry.Ok, but here is the question.....

Along with all these, Ka-226 range is near double then LUH. LUH is more of a troop carrier whereas Ka-226 could be modified as troop as well as freight carrier. It would supplement heavy lifters.@PD_Solo
Thanks for detailed info on K-226. By your details, I understood that K-226 goes for Kashmir and glacier area to replace Cheetah, Chetak and Cheetal models. LUH can be used by our forces rest of the places other than Kashmir.
