Sir, which news are we talking about here? The dual-seat version? The news regarding the SD-10s? The supposed export reports? Also, why is this ground-breaking news? Isn't this mostly stuff we all expected sooner or later?

DSI offer better performance at high-speeds as it limits the air-intake to allow the engine to burn fuel in a more efficient manner (fuel-to-air ratio remains ideal). Contrary to what the name might suggest, the bulge's actual purpose is to DIVERT air, or restrict it. Google for more info...

I've been away from the forum for a little while, so maybe I missed a few things. How come nobody's mentioned the proposed TVC capabilities of the FC-20 as a plus-point? Is that off the table? Also, what about range, radar, electronic warfare suit, avionics etc. Aren't those not all good...

Mr. Muse, as per Gen Musharraf, the CIA has their own office in Quetta. It's only a minor extension that they might have actual troops there as well, who else would carry out the operations? I'm disappointed as well, but that is just how it is.

I don't remember the gimbal rate anymore, but it was fast enough. There were calculations required to determine the position of the lasers, and we had to finish all those calculations before each gimbal signal was received. If that hadn't been the case, a microprocessor would have been more than...

The Virtex FPGA was chosen simply because our Chief Engineer had experience with working with Virtex systems, and they agreed to give us the development kit for less. Could have used any, I personally was rooting for the Cyclone class FPGAs by Altera because that's what I've worked with. I had...

Yep, that's the exact model, MX-15 multiple sensor turret system. Most of the stuff you guys care about is already available online. The only things I know that you can't get online are internal to the system. This is a Level B system as per DO-254 standards, which is pretty serious. Hence, I'll...

No... Mother... Freaking... Way! I worked on that turret! The Cutout Control System inside it is pretty much my design! I did most of the coding and the integration! Unbelievable! Can't believe my engineering work will help the Pakistan Air Force with actual ISR! What a shock! Don't believe...

I thought the display was on par with what I have seen from F-16 and F/A-18 demos here in the Canadian Int'l Air Show. There was plenty of the regular stuff. I saw aileron-rolls, steep climbs, a barrel roll, a lazy eight, a steep climb roll, plenty of hard turns. Only thing I didn't see was a...

ASA, Thanks for checking up. I'm still around and check up on things here every now and then. It's my last year of studies and it is killing me. I have too much on my plate. You know that PDF can be addictive, so for now I want to stay away from it as much as I can. I know that if I start...

Pratt & Whitney Canada is an autonomous organization within the United Technologies umbrella and has its own R&D, engineering and manufacturing sites completely separated from PW USA. PWC has dealth only with engines in the 5,000 to 10,000 pounds of thrust class with very little technological...

Lol. Thanks man. How'd you find out?

Whoa! where are you going?

The thing is, I take the subway a lot here in Toronto (to and from University mostly), and you see a lot of nut-jobs on them. It is not unheard of for someone to fake-scream that they've been stabbed when they're drunk. Also, it says there were only 20 people on the platform, and if they were...

They're just setting up a "Think Tank" on an important issue, sparklingway, let's cut them some slack. Though, obviously, the "Think Tank" will do whatever the political leadership tells them to, which could and would change depending on how the MQM chooses to align itself in the future - thus...

Sad and pathetic attempt to sweep the Kashmir struggle under the carpet. The exact purpose of a plebiscite is to determine what the majority wants. India won't hold a plebiscite, neither will they let the UN hold a poll in the region, neither do they allow foreign media free access to the people...

Stay on topic, folks.

Sir, I was only joking. That entire post was meant to be light-hearted. I am not an expert on comedy, I just don't like most comedy movies/shows coming out of India (for fairness, I mentioned some I did like). Pakistani humor has let us down here. Sorry.

Well, I haven't even watched the movie, nor do I watch many Indian movies at all. Amir Khan is the only actor that gets me to watch an Indian movie. But, if your comedy movies were used to judge your nation's sense of humor, then apart from a select few (Andaz Apna Apna, 3 Idiots, original Hera...

Mr. Khan. In 2006, 53% India's wealth was owned by the Top 10% of its population, whereas the Bottom 50% had a share of just 8% (Source: BBC NEWS | South Asia | Key facts: India rising). The gap is expected to widen further, with nearly 60% of India's wealth to be owned by the Top 10% of its...
