Re: Lightest Combat Aircraft!
actually cat is to be an uprated variant(twin engined,larger with combat capbility) of the hjt-36 intermediate jet trainer currently undergoing tests,the cat is to be powered by the russian al-55 engines(these engines are to be developed in a joint partnership with india they were selected over the uprated french larzac engines which currently power the hjt-36).the al-55 will also power the production variant of hjt-36,the cat will have digital cockpit and all composite structure the avionics are most likely to be either french or israeli(most probably israeli since india already has a contract with israel for the joint development of an entire range of airborne elecronic systems including radars and self defence systems for lca,dhruv and lch).

Re: LCA Engine test fails in Moscow
Everything on LCA from France??? I can only laugh at that...
If you are serious please give a source...
Russian Engine for LCA????? Can you give a source for that... The Kaveri engine is totally indigenous., Russians are helping with the testing coz India does not have high alt test facilities....SABRE said:

Re: Lightest Combat Aircraft!
well lca's radar and electronics (self defense suite) will be israeli that is confirmed, hal entered into an agreement with israel for this purpose,the engine as of now is american(most likely in the future too)the flight control software was developed with us assistance(martin marietta) and tested on the lockheed martin f-16vista,initialy the avionics were french(topflight) they were replaced by the israeli ones,the hud and jet starter indigenous.dassault was supposed to be the initial consultant.so the french influence is limited only to design consultation and avionics and the russian only limited to testing of the engines.

Re: Lightest Combat Aircraft!
People say it is an ADA project,may be they don't know the truth
Do u think India does not have common sense for buying some reliable foreign engine.Instead of LCA,India could happily buy some other cheap and effective Mig-29.
They want to achieve something called Self-reliance.
For how many years will India continue to depend on Foreign tech.There must be some stage where India must be able to produce its own Engines.
That is why even though Kaveri is facing teething problems,GRTE is struggling to complete the project.Its a Big Test for India.
LCA is powered by US GE-F404 engine till i know and initial planes are to being fitted with engine if Kaveri is delayed.
How much of indigenous equipment is in Al-Khalid.
u should provide strong arguments and sources before u come to a conclusion
or u better write is as "In my opinion" or "I think",so that we can understand its only your opinion or assumption.
Wow,Great Discovery Sabre.I never knew that.Can u give a source for that.

I don't know where from france came in between.

By the to which country (other than iraq i think) Al-Khalids are exported.

Oh man what a conclusion,

Why lay entire project better buy some Russian Aircraft Itself.

Re: Lightest Combat Aircraft!
IS it s just me or would someone here like to see some real sources. And is the Line 10 contradicting Line 14, has the P-3c deal been signed (last i heard India was interested in P-8), and the P-3 may be made in India but i doubt they will hand over the Source codes for the Systems so its not going to be a TOT. the US had a hard time Selling the Source codes to UAE for the CustomiZed F-16 Block 60, even when they were Pay 100 mill $ per-piece that is a collative order of 8 billion dollar. The US and for that matter any supplier would not hand over everything so the buyer (india) which usually has an internal Infrastructure can go on and augment an equally capable variant sell the tech onn to unfriendly Countries.ajay_ijn said:
Re: Lightest Combat Aircraft!
really !! Its just that i haven't heard of an agreement Aka Deal between the US and India concering P3c, could you tell me when did it happen. at-least tell me that the congress was notified of such a deal. this should of been out in the media!! Got to look up on foreign sales.srirangan said:
Re: Lightest Combat Aircraft!
SABRE,
The media in India maybe sensationalist and profit oriented. They even are extremely commercialized, but I refuse to believe that it is biased. Indian media is one of the free'est in the world.
No news can be suppressed by no one, no matter how damaging it is to the Govt itself. This is why you hear so much about India/

Re: Lightest Combat Aircraft!
P3 deal hasn't been signed, you need Quality control. for these issues. a P3 deal is not just trivial Deal, its a deal that will affect the Indian Armed forces for along time, they need to make the decision in there own time. last i heard they were interested in the P8 Boeing's new maritime recon AC. i really don't see IN going for any of these P3 unless the coast guard is a separate entity that has signed for a separate deal.
