thrust vectoring Sixth gen should have orbital capability :cheesy:

Agni-II missile successfully test fired The Strategic Forces Command (SFC) of the Indian Army successfully test-fired Agni-II ballistic missile at 10.25 a.m. on Sunday. The missile lifted off from a mobile launcher on the Wheeler Island, off the Odisha coast and travelled its entire range of...

Indigenous lunar lander development proposal has been finalized by ISRO.

No main engine, but 200N mono propellant RCS thrusters.

What you are suggesting is currently being developed by Spacex called Grasshopper RLV. The first stage of grasshopper lands down vertically using a rocket engine. As S-Duct pointed out, the choice to some extent depends on the size of the first stage. A small stage would be easy to be...

Unified launch vehicle (ULV) and RLV-TSTO

Semi-cryo engine update: 1. The Preliminary Design Review (PDR) for Semi-cryogenic engine development has been completed. Preparation of fabrication drawings of subsystems have been completed. A MOU has been signed with NFTDC for the realisation of copper alloy for Thrust chamber. Single...

They have selected the yellow config. Wing size is sufficient for producing required lift to maneuver to a landing site.

Gr8 Info, Thanks!!!. So it seems that second phase of AVATAR will be using in flight LOX separation system. It would take some time to develop these techs and that is why multiple efforts like RLV-TD, HSTDV and HTV are running in India for the purpose of developing technologies for hyperplanes...

Most modern missiles like AIM9X block2 have LOAL capability. With such missiles, F22 and F35 only need to open the bay and fire the missile. J20 on the other hand will have to rotate the rail system to get the missile out of the bay that itself will take more time. It will then close the bay and...

WTH :undecided:

The first part would be very much the same, but I cannot say much about liquification. There is no indication of liquid oxygen separation system in ISRO literature. May be after a decade, ISRO might start such a program because APJ Sir has hinted such a system as a requirement for SSTO.

The amount of time the J20 bay door will be open to pull out the rail system outside will be far more than the time F22 will take to open door and fire a missile.

World is trying to move from conventional to stealth planes. China is doing the opposite, trying to convert an alleged stealth plane to conventional plane. :cheesy:

I have not followed them, but occasionally visit their site. Their work looks simple but promising. I pray they be the first team to reach moon and stream live video.
