Recently the Pampa III Prototype was seen in test for the certification of the 30mm DEFA pod and the 2 Colibrí Mg pods.

Always love Pampa jets, atleast from the design perspective

QUERETARO, Mexico (Reuters) - French aero engine maker Safran SAF.PA expects to be producing 20,000 composite fan blades for the LEAP jet engine by 2021 at its new plant in central Mexico's Queretaro state, the company's chief executive Philippe Petitcolin said on Wednesday.

The composites plant, a joint $100 million investment with Albany International, was built to meet record order books for new LEAP engines and an increase in production rates requested by planemakers, especially Boeing's BA.N 737 MAX.

In Mexico, there are orders for LEAP engines for 60 Aeromexico 737 aircraft and 35 A320neo aircraft for Interjet, said Safran.

“We want to open more plants in Mexico, in Queretaro. It’s a possibility and will depend on demand,” Petitcolin told reporters.

The new plant, the third joint venture between the firms, was officially inaugurated on Wednesday but already delivered its first parts in October. It makes 3D woven composite fan blades for the LEAP engine from CFM International.

If it gets successful ,your future radar would be really impressive ,as you get hand on tech ,our indigenous radars have improved significantly and many aesa radar are developed in a fraction of time frame

We hope, INVAP is a company that has been improving a lot, if their work on that radar progresses i can see it as a possible option to upgrade aircraft or even for a new one!

Ground based radar will be benefitted too , so does synthetic aperture radar .
